One of my favorite noir movies is The Big Heat, directed by Fritz Lang, starring Glen Ford, Gloria Grahame, Jocelyn Brando (Marlon Brando’s sister), Lee Marvin and Carolyn Jones. This nice alt poster was created by Erik J. Kreffel. You can see more of Kreffel’s art at his website or by following his Twitter stream.
This may be my favorite piece of Alex Ross art ever. You can see more of Alex Ross’ art at his website or by following him on Twitter.

The LEAD CITY graphic novel by Eric Borden and Kyle Brummond comes out today. I bought LEAD CITY when it was first on Kickstarter. If you didn’t, here is your chance to get the complete series in a single trade paperback. The synopsis from the publisher…
A farmer enters a deadly gunfighter competition in order to save his family.
Doesn’t exactly make you want to shell out your hard-earned cash, does it? That’s too bad, because LEAD CITY is a fun story with cool art. Let’s try the write-up from Kickstarter. If LEAD CITY sounds like something you’d like, you know what to do.
Krzysztof Domaradzki created this amazing alt Rocky poster. As Mickey would say, “It’s a thing of beauty.” You can see more of Domaradzki’s awesome art at his website. I’d plan to stay awhile.

I hope you dig this alt Psycho poster by Laurent Carbonelle as much as I do. You can see more of Carnonelle’s art here.

Gary Shipman is a self taught artist and writer. Shipman has been nominated for Eisner, Harvey and Russ Manning awards. When I saw that Gary Shipman was regularly doing sketchcard (and other) commissions on WhatNot, I decided to try to get one. As you can see above from Shipman’s riff on Sly Stallone as Jack Carter, I succeeded. And he nailed it. Look for more Gary Shipman art here in the near future!
You can see more of Gary Shipman’s art at his webpage, his Instagram page and on his Whatnot stream.

Marv from Frank Miller’s Sin City is a character I love seeing drawn by different artists. The one above was created by Richard Pace. You can see more of Pace’s art here.

Tony Stella shared this on his Twitter feed and I thought it was interesting. The bottom art by the great Robert McGinnis was used to promote James Bond in Dr. No. Compare it to the top art and you can see how it was censored prior to use. Bond is given shorts. The lady isn’t as well endowed and what she has is better covered. Also note the changes in her face. In the top art she seems to enjoy her, uh, job at hand much more. ; )

Man, John Byrne could do no wrong back in the day when he drew this Wolverine sketch. I followed every comic he did for years/decades. Loved his Fantastic Four, Superman, and others… but his work with Chris Claremont and Terry Austin on The X-Men was the best!

Andrew Peña created the joyful Rocky art above. It makes me smile every time I look at it. You can see more of Andrew Peña’s art at his website.

GOTHAM CITY: YEAR ONE by Tom King (writer) and Phil Hester (artist) has been getting rave reviews. It is coming out in hardcover and Kindle editions on September 5th. Here’s the lowdown…
There once was a shining city on the water, a home for families, hope, and prosperity. It was Gotham and it was glorious.
The story of its fall from grace, the legend that would birth the Bat, has remained untold for 80 years.
That’s about to change.
Superstar creators Tom King and Phil Hester team up for the first time to tell the definitive origin of Gotham City: how it became the cesspool of violence and corruption it is today, and how it harbored and then unleashed the sin that led to the rise of the Dark Knight. Two generations before Batman, private investigator Slam Bradley gets tangled in the “kidnapping of the century” as the infant Wayne heir disappears in the night…and so begins a brutal, hard-boiled, epic tale of a man living on the edge and a city about to burn.

How cool is this Creature from the Black Lagoon painting by John Febonio? You can see more of Febonio’s art here.

One of my all-time favorite characters is Marv from Frank Miller’s Sin City. I love seeing other artist’s interpretation of the character. This is a work in progress by Ben Oliver. You can see more of Oliver’s art at his Instagram page.

Here’s a cool Tony Stella poster for First Blood!
