The link doesn’t work. What happened?

Not sure who the artist is, Scott Dalrymple, but it's a nice looking Kitty Pryde!!

No idea what I have here...all I know is that it's from Wizard magazine. Any insight on artist would be appreciated. 

I see some Bisley in this.. Not 100% sure by any means, but some of it reminds me of him.

Thanks...I'll look into it. The thing about these trading cards back in the 90's is they were often done by popular artist, not just some jobbers. I picked this up for next to nothing, $25, be fun if it ended up being a nice little win.

Scott Dalrymple wasn't a publish guy. He was an Ebay seller that happened to be a really talented artist. It looks as though hes professionally trained. I have a couple of his pieces (a Venom and a Black Cat I think). He use to run about 10 images a week on Ebay. Might want to look there for more.

Star Wars fans...I posted an early Star Wars Sunday (1979, #6 in the series) introducing Han Solo, Chewbacca and the Millennium Falcon, with appearances by C-3PO and R2-D2! Classic Star Wars art by Russ Manning. Great shots of the Millennium Falcon with Darth Vader’s ship approaching.

A last minute piece to end my collecting year.  A perfect example of my philosophy of “if I see it, and have a visceral reaction to it” that’s the sign that I want it up on my wall.  I think a Mike Allred page was something that might have been on my list someday, and certain I’d like DD represented in my collection... but the combination on this page just knocked me out.  I normally stay away for modern art (partly because if they’re lacking their text I feel like they’re missing something) but this page doesn’t suffer from that.  Anyway... I literally just opened it 5 minutes ago so that’s why I’m rambling... sorry.  LOL

Very moody. Nice pickup. Congratulations.

Very happy to add these Harvey covers by the great Warren Kremer into my collection. A fun way to end my collecting year. (unless of course something else becomes available).

Four new pieces; Fred Ian commission and two Humberto Ramos pieces from the last two pages of his work on Champions with Mark Waid. Image too large to upload, take a gander at my gallery

My Wonder Wife, Kathy, commissioned the extremely talented Scott Shaw to create another of my faux Sugar and Spike #100 covers.

 

S&S made it to #98 in the US in its original run and DC later published a comic called DC Silver Age Classics Sugar and Spike 99 which I count as the 99th US issue, but they never reached #100.

 

While we wait for that issue (there's a lot of material used in other countries by Mayer that's not been seen in the US), I've decided to build an inventory of the variant covers such an event will require!

 

Kathy really helps with these. Here's the latest - Sugar and Spike meet The Muppet Babies. Click the image to read the full story and meet all the characters.

This is a great piece by the great Scott Shaw!. What a clever idea.

Just when I thought my OA year was over:.. my family blew me away with 3 pieces for the holidays!! Nate Stockman 90s X-men, an incredible Declan Shalvey splash from return of Wolverine.. and a fun Scott Koblish piece from Marvel Adventures Iron Man w/ Alpha Flight... still stunned they did this and pulled it off!

Thanks, I'm very happy with it.

The concept and character choices were all Scott. I simply suggested an S&S #100 cover. My wife worked with Scott, a Sheldon Mayer fan, too, and they decided on Muppet Babies. Scott worked on the MB cartoon and won four Emmys so it was a natural fit. Scott also thinks S&S influenced MB so that makes it even better. Having Angelica from Rugrats join the fray is the topper on the cake. Rugrats was definitely influenced by S&S.

Here's my second piece from Christmas. It to is an S&S 100 cover. Drawn by Matthew Childers and given to me by a Santa who may reveal himself if he so desires. I think it's terrific though I'm sure I'm prejudiced.

It combines two of my themes:

• Arm Wrestling with Heroes which is my go to theme when I want an artist, but don't know what I want the characters to be doing. Usually, it's the Silver Age Supergirl against the artist's characters or ones with whom I strongly identify the artist.
• Sugar and Spike #100 faux cover which I explained above.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I'd never thought to cross these over. It does cause me some grief in terms of filing the piece though - which sub-gallery? [I chose the S&S 100 one.]

Enjoy. As usual, click the image to get the full story and get the bigger picture.

A lucky eBay find - Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn by Mark Bright & Romeo Tanghal.

I remember buying this series on the newsstands as a teen, always loved the art.
