Just added a beautiful Joelle Jones Lady Killer splash page. There were very few splash pages in the series so I was very happy to be offered this one.

 

Lady Killer Splash

 

Nice page! Joelle has really grown as an artist over the last few years and is a current Eisner nominee for Best Penciller of the Year

New in today is a two-page episode of the 'Follyfoot' strip by Mike Noble from an early 1970s edition of the UK comic-mag, LOOK IN (which carried a number of different strips, mostly based on popular TV shows at the time)..

 

Yeah, I know what most of you are thinking, "WTF is Follyfoot?" lol

 

Follyfoot was an early 1970s UK children's drama about life on a farm (ranch, I think you call it over in the USA?). Not exactly a TV show that I was ever fond of, but I do like Mike Noble's comic-strip artwork. These two pages (full colour painted art) were quite cheap to buy, so I'm not complaining.

 

The blank space at upper left was where the strip's title was added in production.

 

The corresponding page 2 can be seen in my CAF (follow the link in my signature line . . . if you're suitable excited by what you see :grin: ).

Farmers raise crops.

 

Ranchers raise cattle.

 

They don't like each other because:

  • Farmers put up barbed wire fences on perfectly good ranch land.
  • Ranchers let their animals trample and eat anything.

Don't get cattle ranchers started about sheep.

Happy to post this pick-up from the last Heritage Auction:

Loved this piece as soon as I saw it--Romita doing Spidey and his Amazing Friends--but didn't think it would fall within my reach. So glad it did!

 

Thanks for looking...

British farmers also raise livestock.

 

"Deep in the heart of Texas". Wasn't that a song? ;)

I would not want that angry Hulk after me!

Yep. We sing it in the middle of the 7th inning of a baseball game right after Take me out to the ballgame. I can explain baseball later, but think cricket but faster.

in 2014 Brett Booth took over art duties on The Flash and to help publicize and promote the entire creative team's appearance at the Phoenix Comic Con He drew this pinup that had hints about the story to come. Since the time frame was short Norm Rapmund inked over what he calls a "pencil print.” I bought the inked piece from Norm at a convention about a month before the Phoenix Comic Con. I was hoping to buy the pencils from Brett in Phoenix, but he had already sold them to someone else. For the pst 2 years the pencil art has passed through several collector’s hands with me being too late or cash poor to acquire it. That was until it showed up on Romitaman’s website in early May. I contacted Mike and we worked out some payments over time. Today the pencils for that beautiful pinup have been united with their inked counterpart, and as long as I have anything to say about it, they won’t be separated again.

Bryan Baugh has been listing a bunch of new pieces in his store recently and I have picked up some of them. 2 of them arrived today. I think this piece has to be the cutest Batsy and Kershy I have ever seen Bryan draw. I can't believe Bryan thought it wouldn't sell. When I saw it it was a no brainer purchase. I love cute moments between these characters and I don't think they come much cuter then this. :cloud9:

I also received a very cute nude piece of Batsy and Kershy but I'll just post a link to it.

You might want to click the link and read the description. Overground Comics has an unusual approach to their universe and Plus Ultra is not a typical super-hero.

I like Matthew's work a lot and I really like the body language on these two pages.

 

P.S. Yes, there's more being posted while I watch Rice play LSU. Go Owls. Expect more posts.
