The (happy) conclusion of a tale of Big WOW, meeting Bill Sienkiewicz and a seemingly elusive (now amazing) sketch of one of his creations; Warlock.

A few days ago, Bill Sienkiewicz called me. I'd been put in touch with him by members on this forum following my previous journal entry and we'd chatted by email.

We talked for a little while about the original sketch commission, a colour sketch of Warlock from New Mutants, before ending the call saying that he was going to get working on it right away and promised to send a scan of the final artwork in the next few days.

As he promised, last night I got an email back from Bill with the sketch attached. To say I'm absolutely thrilled with the result is a massive understatement, I never expected to get such a great piece of work. I'll let it speak for itself.

As you can imagine, I'm totally stoked and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the following people (in no particular order) for their invaluable help and assistance in putting me in touch with Bill; John at London Super Comic Con, Galactus, Bird, Speedy-D and Tnerb.

Most importantly, despite the initial difficulties, I also wanted to thank Bill for a such an amazing sketch and who during our conversations came across as a gracious and genuine guy.

As we say in Australia...

...love your work.
