Two Vintage INTERVIEW Interviews with Sly Stallone!
As I was going through the Zablo vault I came across the October 1994 issue of Interview magazine. The photo header is NOT that cover. Instead the picture above is of the September 1985 issue of Interview. Let me explain.
As I was going through the vault, I found my copy of the October ’94 issue. In it there is a new (for that time) interview with Sly Stallone. But instead of a new photo, they reprinted the cover of the September ’85 issue. Well, as it turns out, you can read that interview here. (By the way, I love the cover art of Sly,)
Getting back to the Interview October 1994 issue. Below is that interview. Click on the photos to see a larger version, Enjoy! – Craig
PS – The thing that really struck me about the interview below is the question about Sly always having a sense of mortality. Even then Sly new that time was our greatest currency.
Ray-Anthony Height Gets Carter (with an interesting story)
Today we have Sly Stallone as Jack Carter by Ray-Anthony Height. It’s my third piece from Ray-Anthony and it has an interesting story.
My buddy, John Higashi was at a convention. He saw this piece on display at Ray-Anthony’s table. John told RAH that he had a buddy, Craig Zablo, who collected Stallone sketches. RAH said that the art was originally for Craig, but that it got lost. So he refunded Craig the money. RAH later found the sketch and decided to see if it would sell at the convention.
And it did.
I’ve darkened the piece a bit for display here.

THE SINS OF THE SALTON SEA by Ed Brisson, C.P. Smith and Tim Bradstreet
THE SINS OF THE SALTON SEA by Ed Brisson (writer), C.P. Smith (artist) and Tim Bradstreet (cover artist) sounds like a winner. Here’s the synopsis…
“One last job” for washed-up demolitions expert Wyatt could mean the last days for all mankind in THE SINS OF THE SALTON SEA, an apocalyptic crime thriller from AWA!
It’s supposed to be an easy score: An armored car traveling desert back roads with $50 million in dirty cash. But things go sideways, people end up dead, and there’s no money in the truck. What’s all this have to do with a cult called The Sons of the Salton Sea? And is mankind REALLY doomed to eternal damnation if the Sons don’t fulfill their deadly mission? It might just be the end of the world as we know it in this explosive crime thriller from Ed Brisson (Predator, Murder Book) and C.P. Smith (THE RESISTANCE: UPRISING, ARCHANGEL 8)!
Wyatt, a professional thief living off the grid, is recruited by his brother for one last job. Their target: an armored car traveling down a desolate stretch of California highway. But when it turns out that their target is carrying not gold bars but human cargo, Wyatt is plunged into a conflict between warring factions of a doomsday cult. The cult claims that it is their solemn duty to save the world by means of human sacrifice. Will Wyatt protect the boy who has come into his charge? Or will he be swayed by the cult’s increasingly convincing claims that the end of the world is fast approaching?
THE SINS OF THE SALTON SEA drops February 20, 2024.
