Secret Santa opening time was today. I present you with Santa vs. Supergirl. If you liked this, I have a few others in this theme: Alex vs. Supergirl by Anthony Carpenter - I'm losing! Nick vs. Supergirl by Nick Pitarra - I think Nick will do better than I. Molly Danger vs. Supergirl by Jamal Igle - I think Supergirl has the edge, but Molly's older and stronger than she appears so who knows Wonder Woman vs. Supergirl by Aaron Lopresti - Tough to call, but the boulder they are resting is about to have a bad day.

I really enjoy that series. Stumbled upon it quite by accident.

I used Chris Ivy on my Archie cover. Scott Rosema offered to patch up my Curt Swan page with a missing bubble, but I haven't bothered. You can reach Scott as follows: Scott Rosema 1262 E. Forest Ave. Muskegon, MI 49442 231-799-0200 temstudio@aol.com If you are interested in restorers, in the many threads on paper conservation, the names that recur the most were:

If you don’t read Ben Hatke’s books, you are missing a treat. I will admit that you may need a young neighbor or grandchild in order to have a cover story, but do it. Kathy and I met Ben at a signing at Bedrock City a couple of years ago. I’d known of his books before, but hadn’t read them. My mistake. For our anniversary, along with my Nick Pitarra commission, she bought me a page from Little Robot. You can see it here: The Description includes a link to ordering the books on Amazon. Use it. And Happy Thanksgiving!

She's awesome. She didn't always feel that way though. Check this out.

Kathy arranged a wonderful gift for our anniversary - a commission by Nick Pitarra. I think it's wonderful; not as wonderful as Kathy, but close. Check it out here:

It was fun!

Never crossed my mind. Sorry.

I'll be there. Gallery in my signature.

Not a new piece of art, but a new signature on an existing piece. A few years ago, my daughter became a Dr. Who fan. It turned out that same year that Comicpalooza had four Drs. Who as guests. So, I did the obvious. I commissioned Thom Zahler of Love and Capes fame to do a piece with all of the Drs. Who on it and I got it signed by those four Drs. Since then she's added several of the companions and, just this year, she's added three more Doctors: Peter Capaldi at Fan Expo Dallas, Matt Smith at WW Austin, and David Tennant at Alamo City Comic Con. Fair warning, Tom Baker (4), John Hurt (War Doctor), and Christopher Eccleston (9), we are on your trail!

Welcome

One standard answer coming up. Spoilers used because I post this a lot.

I added two images of Kitty Ravencraft from the Kickstarter Die Kitty Die. As part of my perks, I received a sketch card (featured image) and a remarque (Additional Images). Click the image to check it out:

I have some standard advice on autographs that might be of interest.

We attended Wizard World Austin so that Rebecca could add Matt Smith to her Dr. Who piece. We achieved that goal as you can see here: While waiting for our slot with Matt, we stopped by Guy Gilchrist’s table. I had a nice conversation with him, but Rebecca succumbed to his charms and bought a Muppets Sunday featuring Miss Piggy as she campaigns for Vice President. It’s cute. Check it out:

Thanks for sharing.

Years ago (2013), I pledge to support Clint Hilinski's Superiors comic book on Kickstarter. This week (about 33 months late), I received the package. Two comics and one page of the art. I can say that I'm pleased. It's a fun book featuring parallel universes, super-heroes, super-villain dopplegangers, and a snappy pace. Good stuff reminiscent of the first comic I ever read - JLA 29, the first JLA/JSA/CSA meeting. No wonder I liked it with that as my starting point. The art has a Perez/Crisis vibe to it. I really enjoyed it. Anyway, I think the page I received is a delight and it's perfect for me since it features the bad guys. Check it out and, if it interests you, contact Clint and get a copy. As usual, click to embiggen:

You are welcome. Of course, my free advice is worth what you pay for it.

Nope. I think it's fine. Well so long as you follow my standard advice.

As a perk for my VIP badge, I was entitled to get a head shot on a 4x6 pre-printed card by Steve. Unlike most folks, I didn’t go for Cap or Wolverine. Nope, I went for the obscure - Sephie and Ilahn from Crossgen’s Meridian. While he was drawing, I cruised his portfolio. I blew right past the $4 Uncanny Inhumans cover of Black Bolt and the other spectacular pieces and went straight to the last page which was one from Meridian. $50 later and I’m quite happy. Enjoy. Sephie and Ilahn: Meridian 15 pg 5:

Yes, it certainly is! I like Odin's hat here, too. Odin always has the best chapeaus.

Great post.

My Gigantor/Astro Boy vs. Big Guy/Rusty piece is unfromed, but way to large to scan so I took a picture with my iPhone. I think it looks okay. One tip, there a programs (GraphicConverter for Mac, for example) that can unskew a photo. Just make sure to have all four corners in the frame. Such apps exist for iPhone and Android as well.

ROM showed up at your door? That's bad, very bad. Nice art though.

I think I make an excellent villain!
