Flashback Friday: Superman #422

Andrew — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 10:00:16 +0000

In case you somehow lost your invitation, I'm starting up a regular theme over here at ComicBookMarks. I used to run Friday flashbacks on an old blog of mine where I'd post videos of cheesy old '80s songs. It's fun, nosta

Why haven’t you seen Tom Whalen’s art yet?

Andrew — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 19:27:30 +0000

There are so many great artists in comics today. And so many pretty mediocre ones too. So it always blows my mind when I stumble across a really unique and talented artist, who'd be perfect on a regular comic. Tom Whalen may not have the chops for se

The Battle for New York starts in Queens

Andrew — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:44:32 +0000

Don't bother hitting your local comic shop for this summer's latest Marvel Comics crossover. Uh uh. Instead, hop in your car and head to Queens, NY to see the work of street artist Gusto. Located at 86th Street and Roosevelt Ave., this giant wall mur

Rob Liefeld’s Greatest Work

Andrew — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:27:58 +0000

Love him or hate him, you've gotta remember this classic Levi's commercial from the '90s. It features my all-time favorite superhero: The Spike Man! And of course the classic revelation that Rob's never had any formal art training. Shocking I know!

A Different Kind of Sketchbook

Andrew — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 19:51:12 +0000

Anyone who's ever been to a comic convention knows that artists will sit there sketching out doodles or detailed illos for fans. Usually in those little black hardcover books. Well, I may not be able to take this sketchbook home (heck, nobody could),

Who Watches the Watchnuts?

No slight on Dave Gibbons, but Evan Shaner may've just drawn the best Watchmen piece of art I've ever seen. Granted, he drew the Peanuts characters as Watchmen characters but I would totally love to read the entire series done in this style. Although

The Liefeld Lowdown

Andrew — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 16:07:42 +0000

Let me start by saying, I seriously enjoyed Rob Liefeld's art on his original "Hawk & Dove" mini-series for DC. It was fresh, crisp and energetic. Real good storyline too courtesy of Karl Kesel. But then something happened. Liefeld got onto New M

Stan Lee Art Tribute

Andrew — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 20:06:05 +0000

LA Weekly has a really cool slideshow covering the Stan Lee: Under the Influence art opening featuring some 41 photos from the event. The art tribute was held at L.A.'s Golden Apple Comics. Here's a few of my favorites from the show: Dan Goodsell's

Lando vs. Shaft

Andrew — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 01:54:03 +0000

Matt Haley's a pretty talented artist. Heck, I'd read the phone book every month if it were sequential art and Matt drew it starring any one of his female characters. (Particularly Ghost.) But he's also always up for some fun, and just for kicks, he

Jeff Smith Rocks Out

Andrew — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 01:59:24 +0000

I was just over at Bone-creator Jeff Smith's blog and was psyched to see he did the album cover and some spot illustrations for the band Say Anything's new album "In Defense of the Genre." I never heard of the band (though I'm a big fan of the John C
