I read a fair number of DC books, but only a couple of Marvel ones (Jason Aaron's Thor which is the best run ever maybe, and Miles Morales: Spider-man). Most of my pull is is from other publishers. It's in Spoiler tags to save those that aren't interested in my personal degree of crazy.

Superman no longer has one. As of Superman 18, he's revealed it to the world. The mentioned in story motivation is that he felt conflicted over "lying" to the world. Of course, once they aged is son, it was going to be pretty obvious anyway. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts; I'm really not interested in another One More Day storyline though.

Uh, mine is the one I use pretty much everywhere in the interwebs - it's my name without the middle vowels, Alex Johnson.

Can we expect 25 more lists?

Several newer artists whose work I really enjoy include (where I have examples, click on the name) Dramatic Nick Pitarra (Manhattan Projects, Leviathan) Jerome Opena (where is his Seven to Eternity art sold?) Charles Paul Wilson, III (The Stuff of Legend, Wraith) David Petersen (Mouse Guard) Jeremy Bastian (Cursed Pirate Girl) Yale Stewart (JL8) Chris Wildgoose (Porcelain series) Humorous Will Henry (Wallace the Brave on GoComics and your paper) Thom Zahler (Love and Capes, Time and Vine, Cupid's Arrows, ...) Chris Giarusso (G-Man, Tales of the Con, ...) Steve Conley (The Middle Age on GoComics) Andy Price (MLP) Katie Cook (Nothing Special on Webtoons) Book Writer/Artists Ben Hatke (Zita the Spacegirl series, Little Robot, Mighty Jack series) Mike Maihack (Cleopatra in Space series) Faith Erin Hicks (Adventures of Super-Hero Girl & The Nameless City series) Raina Telgemeire (Drama, Sisters, Guts, Ghosts, etc.) and so many others that I've missed.

George Wilson's covers sold lots of comics. They were so good that even if I didn't care for the comic, I wanted to buy it. Congratulations.

Where did you find his work for sale? I had no idea it was so inexpensive.

That's exactly how I got hooked on Tyler's art. For me it was Grass Kings. I saw this new book on the stand, picked it up and liked the art. I bought the first two issues, but didn't get around to reading them until after I met Tyler at Comicpalooza. I commissioned a drawing of "a significant character doing something relevant to the story" after admitting that I hadn't read the book yet, but loved the art. That's how Robert entered my home and collection. Click to get a bigger picture.

My first piece was the most emotional. My favorite hero by my favorite artist - Superman by Curt Swan. Paid for with money that I inherited from my paternal grandmother who had passed away 38 years earlier. In an auction when I figured that there was no way I could afford it. Full story by clicking the image. Next come a series of commissions by artists whose work I so greatly admired growing up and who I managed to contact before they passed away or lost their abilities. NIck Cardy's Teen Titans and Bat Lash, Gene Colan's DD and BW, Joe Kubert's Sgt. Rock. Click the image to get the full story on each and a bigger picture. And so many more. Basically, every piece I have has a story attached to it. I've actually written all of those stories and placed them on Facebook if you are curious. Just click here.

The other finds are cool, but this is the best. An amazing find that ended up with the right guy.

I'm too young. [Well, I would like to believe that; probably so old I forgot it. ]

Not sure how that relates to Scribbly (or quests), but it did make me smile. I wonder what happened to those kids.

“Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned; unicorns may go unrescued for a long time, but not forever; a happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.”― Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn A Scribbly page is my unicorn and my quest continues!

I miss these.

Goo Gone is great for things like glass, but not paper. I have no advice other than consult with experts which you've done. Sorry.

Above the Clouds by Melissa Pagluica "follows a young girl, name Eily, who has been given a book about a hero who most go on a quest to save a great tree from darkness. Only, the story isn't finished and Eily must go on her own adventure to get an author, who doesn't believe himself, to finish the book.” At the link above, you can read the story for free or buy a copy of her Kickstarted hard copy - a very nice book. My perks included a 6x9, water colored, pen & ink drawing of the protagonist, Eily, which you can see here or by clicking on the image.

Number one on my list would be a Scribbly page by Sheldon Mayer. I've seen one, but couldn't bid on it. Sigh... Even a lead would be nice.

Someone has some odd search terms.

Joe (not Bill) did indeed draw such. Craig Yoe collected much of it in his book, Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman's Co-Creator Joe Shuster.

Amazing work! You'd never know she's in her 90s based on the quality of her work.

I've been done! Nick Pitarra threw me into a commission. My art direction? Nick vs. Supergirl arm wrestling. You see an excerpt in my avatar, but here's the full commission. Click to learn more; it has a good story. As a Secret Santa, I was given this - me vs. Supergirl arm wrestling. I think both are awesome even if they look like me.

Love these. You should have a book made.

A couple of things. I thought I'd show my two pieces from members of the Studio though from a much, much later time. I also had a wonderful book (re)binding experience to share since the Studio book is poorly bound. Bernie Wrightson, City of Others #2, Pages 17 and 18. I met Bernie several times. The first was at my LCS, Bedrock City Comic Company. Bernie was living in Austin and Richard brought him in for a signing. There was no one there! I visited for about 30m before I had to go. Did I think to ask for an autograph or offer to pay for a sketch? No, I did not. I'm not very smart. Michael W. Kaluta, The Shadow and Margo Lane I have never met Mike, but I had plenty of email exchanges while this one was cooking. One of the best parts of the long wait was that he told me that this was what he'd show people when they came over. As for pages popping out of books, I had that problem with two books. I had a great experience with rebinding the first one at Bella Bocho Book and Print Bindery. I put it in spoiler tags because it's not OA, but the reference to failing binding thought it might be of interest.

Enjoyed it. (I finally gave in and subscribed; I get a $1 a week worth of value, at least.)
