Giant Robot Time!

As you can tell from the quote and picture over there to the right, I agree with Mr. Tesla that giant robots are indeed a very good thing. Consequently, I'll be featuring them here pretty regularly.  Today's is one of my favorites, courtesy of Dan Burgess.

Green Wake

My oldest daughter is terrified of frogs so she absolutely hates this picture. I love it.

Mister Miracle #26

In the mid-70s, there was a short lived revival of Mister Miracle that I really enjoyed. Unfortunately it only ran 7 issues. Recently I came across some Michael Golden artwork that was supposedly going to be the cover for the next issue, #26. Alas it was never published but I had some fun imagining what it might have looked like...

 

 

Recent Readings

I've realized over the last couple years that the only things I'm reading and enjoying from either Marvel or DC are limited series that usually fly under the radar, get little to no marketing push, and are generally ignored by most of the comic book population. So to do my part, I'm going to occasionally feature some of the ones that I think are exceptionally good.

But first, an image from one that I probably would have enjoyed if it had ever actually been published. Unfortunately Marvel decided not to pursue it, probably because they needed yet another Avengers or X-Men book on the racks. Maybe it would have made it if they had called it "Some Avengers and X-Men DESTROY Some Other Avengers and X-Men" Oh well...

Let's Go To The Movies

I'm not a big YouTube guy but once in a while I'll see something that I think is worthwhile. This definitely falls into that category. Enjoy!

Color My World

One of my hobbies is coloring black and white comic book art. Occasionally I'll be posting some examples here just for the fun of it (and to falsely inflate my massive ego.)  As I've been reading comics for about a 100 years, I tend to be fairly "old school" in my approach to coloring.  Not only is it what I grew up with, I also think it just looks better. So if you're a fan of flashy computerized coloring tricks or an over-rendered painterly look, I'm probably not your cup of tea - just look the other way and move briskly along. If you feel the need to critique, keep in mind that I mostly do this for fun and probably don't really care what you think. Unless of course you have the power to offer me a coloring job that pays. Then you have my full attention. First up, a nice Elektra piece by one of my favorite artists, Art Adams.
