Here is one from the Toronto Con that I was at a couple weeks ago. Sorry I couldn't get the whole pic on my scanner, but it is Elektra by David Mack.

Here is a sketch I got from a Toronto artist (Sam Agro).

How about some Golden Age Wonder Woman art. I got this from Joe and Nadia Mannarino of All-Star auctions, two of the nicest people in the hobby

Drool, Steve! HG Peter WW art is one of my holy grails.

I love it, but I think your WW/Supes Perez piece is better!

I did a survey of HG Peter originals a few months back and

only managed to find 2-3 other inked comic book pieces (including

an unpublished cover) in my auction catalogs. These are incredibly

rare and IMO very undervalued - thanks for sharing, Steve.

O.K.

 

In that case, check out the attachment of my Moon Knight # 8 cover by the mighty Bill S.

Here's my latest acquisition below. It's the cover to issue #1 of the Marvel mini-series Nightside (which was actually quite good), featuring the lead character Sydney Taine. The cover is by Smallville artist Tom Derenick. And yes, every piece of art I own except for one features at least one beautiful woman...

Impressive shading on the skulls. Inspiring actually.

Is this the actual original production art for the cover? I have a reason for asking (not a slam or neg thing) but want to be sure before I post.

Great piece Gene!

 

I was bidding on that one also

 

Glad it's in a "good home"

Wow! Sweet piece Gene! She looks like the "Creeper" in the Vertigo Mini. Awesome piece. Can't wait for B'more so I can get some more art!

Yes, it is the original production art, with the Marvel stamp on the back. Remember, a lot of modern art is inked/colored digitally these days...if you think this looks "sparse" in any way, you should check out Greg Horn's or Salvador Larroca's "originals", which are only pencils!

Actually I think it looks damned impressive. I was just wondering about all that gray shading was all. Being an old fogey, I tend to be used to more line-art in production work. This is a really nice looking piece. Also reminds me a bit of the way the Fleischer Studios Superman cartoons were drawn using a gray scale base that lend a very textural, 3-d feel.

Is anyone else going to post some cool artwork?

 

I won't keep this thread going if no one else wants it

 

Attached is my latest ebay win

 

If anyone knows how to post this picture bigger, I would not mind the help
