All right I am going to join Jason and return from my posting hiatus.  I missed you guys.

And what better way to return that with new Clayton Crain masterpieces?  They are all acrylic paints on blank covers.

The Walking Dead cover is me and my family :-)

He is the best at what he does......sometimes Neal Adams is to!  Was negotiating the last half of 2017 for this one and finally it's mine.

Great piece from Neal. Congrats on the pick up. Which artist(s) are on your hit list to get a wolverine from?

No one in particular.   The fun is seeing the artists vision of the character.  I simply tell them the character and let them do their thing.  I have quite a few of wolverine from various artists.  All this Clayton Crain talk makes me think I would love to see his take on Wolverine.

This is one of my favorite Crains.  It is a recreation of a cover he did for a Wolverine/Punisher miniseries.  He used fluorescent paint for the cigar tip so it actually glows in the dark.

Here is an example of his X-Force style Wolverine.  One unique take on Wolverine that Crain introduced has to do with Wolverine's claws.  Most artists draw the claws very strictly parallel to each other.  Crain thought it would be interesting to have his claws behave more like Edward Scissorhands.

These are great.  I am familiar with his work as I have several CGC SS copies of his work on wolverine titles but meant to say his take on commission work and these that you have provided are awesome.  Thank you

You are welcome.  Crain has also done beautiful runs on Spectacular Spider-Man and Ghost Rider and Valiant titles.  His paintings of Venom, Carnage, Deadpool and Ghost Rider are some of the very best commissions you will ever see.
