Don't post here much but am a long time admirer! lol

Particularly happy with this piece from Boston.  Mark and I spent a considerable amount of time last year talking at the show.  Fast forward a year, I was walking around with my son and I saw Mark.  He wasn't on the guest list but was keeping a friend company.  To my surprise he was drawing on a sketch pad (he doesn't do many commissions at shows).  I asked he was taking anything, and he replied "Just this.  It's yours if you want it."  He asked for another night to finish it and bam!  Great guy, was very kind to my kids when I brought them around.

If I remember, I'll post a scan when I get a batch done.

Just added  - Superman gets his head popped off! I couldnt stop laughing when I first saw this cover. Had to try for it.

What I walked away with from table F-12 at SDCC:

599489fe41d6b_DHS_0VpXkAYjp4I1.jpg.5df9f32f38bb9297bfe9055e6623135e.jpg

Page 10 from the first issue of Your Pal Archie by Dan Parent (not in stores until the week after SDCC). Action-packed page which gives Archie's vintage 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang plenty of exposure. (The page was a reward from the most recent Die Kitty Die Kickstarter-campaign). And speaking of Die Kitty Die:

Page 6 & 8 from issue #1of the first Die Kitty Die miniseries. Pencilled by Fernando Ruiz and inked by Rich Koslowski. The main character is depressed (great body language) and lose her clothes due to unathorized use of magic.

Archie #612, page 6. The best picture of Sharry the Spygirl in the entire "The Man From R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E." story arc? Created by artist Fernando Ruiz and writer Tom DeFalco.  Unfortunately the sequel was never made. She was too good to be a one-off character! Inked by Rich Koslowski and lettered by Jack Morelli.

Two more additions from the trip to California & San Diego in July:

Red_One_3_p5_small.jpg.35cdc94859636c4d294ed6ab5c341c1b.jpg

Red One #3 page 6 by Terry & Rachel Dodson. One of the best staged car chases I have ever seen in a comic book. Sequential storytelling at its finest! The format is 12"x17", one inch wider than normal to better fit the european album size. And chatting with Terry is always very nice.

Lady_Killer_4_p12-13_small.jpg.f76dc0d917adf2dc486d10a01f5cf06c.jpg

I am very pleased with this addition of another of Joëlle Jones' incredible two-page spreads to my collection. This one (which I readily admit is somewhat disturbing) is from the most recent issue (#4) of her own comic, Lady Killer vol 2. Professional killer Josie Schuller disposes of a burlesque dancer in her backstage dressing room. As always Joelle incorporates a lot of authentic details from the time period in her drawings (she obviously spend a lot of time doing research). Both pages signed by the artist. And NOT taped together, which was an unexpected bonus.

When I showed these pages to Don Rosa he remarked that "they looked like something out of a pre-code comic book". And he should know.

Click on the pages to see them (and some additional images of the creators) in my CAF gallery.

Uncanny X-Men #377 splash page with Magneto

On this opening splash page, Magneto comes down from the heavens to fight along side the X-Men. In this issue, they are attempting to stop Apocalypse as he finishes gathering the Twelve. This is the beginning of an EPIC showdown!

Just added this great example from the Rocketeer movie comic. Nazis, a gunfight, a zeppelin, the American flag, Cliff in flight, the cover shot, and Jenny (Betty) to boot!

It's a large scan so you get an eyeful of that lovely Heath detail.
