My introduction to comics was at 3 years old when my oldest brother gave me a copy of X-men #87 and although I couldn’t read yet, the pictures fascinated me and my lifelong journey into artwork began. He would continue to feed what was a voracious appetite by giving me a new comic every few days or so and encouraging me to keep drawing well into my adulthood. That love for the medium has stayed with me now going into my 51st birthday with no signs of stopping anytime soon. I’m still finding new examples of artwork in comics that wow me every day both old and new that will keep me interested and continually seeking them out for years to come, picking up influences here and there that will help my own artwork evolve for years to come.

Here’s something I’ve probably posted in the “personal artwork” thread before but still learning and hopefully improving too

I used to visit my grandparents in North London and had an Uncle who lived next door who was a bus driver. From the age of 5 (1968), whenever I visited he would pick up a couple of american comic books on the way home from work to give to me. They always had either Batman or Superman on the cover and invariably Neal Adams cover art. They seemed so exciting compared with British comics (the glossy covers and groovy adverts). I could'nt buy them myself because of poor distribution and lack of continuity.

I was out of the hobby from the age of 22 until I dug out piles of books from my parents attic in 2005. Thanks to the internet and CGC and my early memories of those books my enthusiasm has been rekindled.

Yes. I haven't posted anything new in awhile but I still get inspiration looking through the various threads, seeing the covers to books other boardies have added to their collection. I started off with the traditional "pencil and paper" but was amazed at what's possible using digital in the past few years. The money it's saved me in art supplies has all gone to buying more comic books. :banana:

Hulk 2003 movie really sealed the deal for me.. Spider-Man 1 2002 was a very very very big deal also ... Blade also ... it was the right amount of weird that fascinated me.. the movies were based on Stan Lee and Ditko/Kirby stories so I read the first 4-5 issues of all the series like ASM, Hulk, FF..

it was a given that boys in our city in the early 70's were going to collect comic books and baseball cards ... i'm not sure if there was anyone who didn't 

That’s how it was in my grade school , our 4th grade teacher had lots of comics an canards in his drawer that he confiscated from us kids whe we brought them to class , we were not allowed to bring them to class so he took them, never gave them back either ‼️👍🏀 I bet there was some good keys too 🤪🤪
