Dwight Manfredi is the “Tulsa King” by Wilfredo Torres!
In 2012, I went to MegaCon and my main purpose was to get a sketch from Wilfredo Torres. I was lucky enough to be first on his sketch list. Wilfredo opted to draw Stallone as Cobra.
Finally, in 2025, the stars aligned and I was able to get on Wilfredo’s advance sketch list for HeroesCon. I asked for Stallone from Tulsa King and Wilfredo came through royally.

Rocky at 50 by John Beatty!
I was diggin’ through the Zablo vault and came across this sketch of Sly Stalloneas Rocky at 50 that John Beatty gifted me waaay back in 1998. John was just messing around with no reference. I love the looseness of the lower part of this sketch. Contrast that with the upper piece that John tightened up. It’s cool to see the foundation and thought process as an artist as he/she moves through a piece.
Who knew that eight years later Sly would make Rocky Balboa? Maybe Beatty did!
“Bitter Root: The Next Movement” by David F. Walker, Chuck Brown & Sanford Greene – Preorders Available Now!
I am a huge fan of Bitter Root by David F. Walker, Chuck Brown and Sanford Greene. So you’d be right to think that picking up Bitter Root Volume 4: The Next Movement is a no-brainer. Here’s the lowdown…
A Lie built a House of Oppression. The Bitter Truth will burn it down.
It is 1964, the height of the Civil Rights Movement. A group of activists have gone missing, and a new generation of the Sangerye family must face a menace far worse than anything their ancestors ever encountered. The monstrous jinoo—creatures born out of hate and racism—have evolved into a threat that few people are willing to acknowledge, and even fewer know how to fight.
A bold new chapter in the epic saga of the multiple Eisner Award-winning series collects BITTER ROOT: THE NEXT MOVEMENT #1-5.
Pre-orders for the October 28, 2025 release are available now.
Deal me in.

Jack Carter & Massimo Miller – Rich Hennemann Goes Full Tilt!
Rich Hennemann is a freelance artist. A few years ago I picked up his sketchbook and a sketch and I was hooked. Since then I’ve gotten several sketches from Rich. The one above is my most recent.
I requested Sly Stallone as Jack Carter teamed with Massimo Miller from Jason Copland’s FULL TILT (which gets my highest recommendation!). Rich came through like he always does. He absolutely nailed the piece. Great likenesses, atmosphere, attitude and setting. I couldn’t be more pleased.
