"Wolverine Raw.
I got a few requests to leave this piece as is.
So I'm going to force myslf and leave it alone.
I was channeling the Great John Buscema's Wolverine
Mr Buscema had a huge influence on my life as an artist.
thank you for letting me share.

Conan
Probably what was the beginning of my maturing into the comic world started
when I discovered the Savage Sword of Conan (and the monthly Conan title)
By the Magnificent John Buscema.
I always loved his work before this but Conan was a true kick in the ass to a young teen wanting to be an artist.
He was and still is my hero (Mr Buscema) as a tribute to him I'm going to do a series of Conan
pieces in the coming weeks.
This was a first stab...

The Vision- One bad Dude
I was a big fan of the Avengers in the 70's.
Great logo and John Buscema had an unforgettable run on it.
That was where I was first introduced to the Vision.
(Had to look up what intangible meant)
One of Ultron's creations and a bad dude.
This guy makes the Terminator look like a tinker toy.
Thank you for letting me share.

Joe Kubert character gallery.
What can anyone in comics say about Joe Kubert..?
He was a giant, a legend, a corner stone of the industry..?
Yes all those things of course.
To me Mr Joe Kubert added so much to my life through his work
and enriched everything about why I became an artist.
Thank You Mr Kubert.
Gone but never forgotten.
Here are a few of his great characters.
Ragman, Sgt Rock and Enemy ace.

Yesterday the great Eddy Newell posted a tremendous Spider man piece on his Facebook page
(Please check out Eddy's web page you wont be disappointed)

So I was inspired to do another Spidey in the rain piece.
Also a miserable attempt at a Logan's run piece.....
Uggh this one hurts, I'll get it right.

70's Iron man.
A million years ago when George Tuska was the penciller on Iron man
I started picking up the book at Stoyas drug store on Bryn mawr and Broadway on the North side of Chicago.
Well I was hooked, only to discover there were several other tremendous versions of the character
Gene Colan, Don Heck ...
Either way I love Iron man from way back..
Here is the 70's version with the pointy mask.
Sorry no roller skates.
(George Tuska was always my favorite)
thank you for letting me share.
