Every Picture Tells a Story

Since the last post was A) long, B) devoid of graphics, and C) had nothing to do with work, I thought I'd go to the other extreme, and show you some very cool artwork as a sample of what's available in our online store, located at www.artandcomicsstore.com the companion site to this blog.

For starters, Will Conrad has recently been named the artist for the new Black Panther series from Marvel Comics.






Here's a stunning double page spread from "Kull - The Shadow Kingdom" issue 4, pages 14 and 15 published by Dark Horse Comics. (If you click on this, or any of the images, you'll see a nice large version of the graphics.)




















Here's a page from the Hugo Award nominated series "Serenity: Better Days" issue 2, page 18, also published by Dark Horse. Mal can't seem to stay our of trouble!












But Will is hardly the only artist with fantastic work! Next up we have the fabulous Jinky Coronado, who recently collaborated with Meg Cabot on "Avalon High". Here we have pages from her hit series, "Banzai Girls" published by Arcana! These even include the page layouts, so you can see the evolution from rough idea to finished page!





These two pages are an action sequence from issue 4. Here's page 11...





















followed by page 12!










Our store carries both the latest art and an assortment of art from issues past! For example, here's some excellent art from Cliff Richards!








Cliff has penciled the last couple of issues of the AAFES (Army, Air Force Exchange Service) military giveaway comic that was free to members of the military by Marvel Comics.

Here's his dramatic rendition of Wolverine and Cyclops of the Uncanny X-Men dropping into a war zone!



















This is a sample of his work on "Huntress: Year One" from DC Comics!
























But not all the work is in black and white! Check out this vision of Catwoman, by Thony Silas!






















Then there's this piece by Jon Racimo featuring Wolverine vs. the Incredible HULK! (Hmmm..."Wolverine vs. Hulk", where have I heard that before....?)















Then, there's Jonathan Lau, who has been the penciling "go-to guy" for "Battlestar Galactica" over at Dynamite Entertainment!





Here's a sample from his work on Battlestar Galactica: Ghosts issue 2, page 20.



























And this is from "BSG: Origins" issue 9, page 22.

















While we're in outer space, let's have a look at the work done by Wilson Tortosa on the classic "Battle of the Planets" from Image/Top Cow!


This is a double page spread from BOTP issue 2, pages 20 and 21, including a photocopy of the original layout of the two pages by the artist!







Then, there's Mike Deodato, here with a splash page from Dark Avengers issue 2, page 19 published by Marvel Comics, where Sentry goes all "Highlander" on Morgana LeFay!


























Mike's been consistent in his action, as shown with this page from the Hulk, v3, issue 63, page 14!















Finally, I had to add this double page spread he did from New Avengers 19, pages 20/21, inked by Joe Pimentel because it's too cool to leave out!

Now, as I mentioned when I started this--all the pages here (as of when I write this) and many more--are on sale at our online store, www.artandcomicsstore.com where you'll have oodles of art to choose from to buy and have in your very own home! Heck, you might even hang them in the office! (You never know when the art buyers for the White House are looking for new acquisitions).

I hope you enjoyed today's visual odyssey, and come back soon for more!
