  1. Whether or not RL is a genius, a thief, or both, any museum (or really any gallery) showing his comic based work really should acknowledge the source of the material.

     

    It adds to the educational value to know the artist's sources and it acknowledges the work of the original artist.

     

    At least, that's the way I feel about it and I'd feel that way if it were a Michelangelo or Da Vinci piece. It's good to know the inspiration or source.

  2. This piece as been on the wall at my LCS - Bedrock City in Houston - for some time; it belonged to a local collector who passed away. Today, was their spring sale with 25% off and some other considerations, it was too much of a bargain to pass up - Grell Pen & Ink beautifully matted and framed - for next to nothing.

     

    Though Mike as done lots of other stuff that I've enjoyed, e.g., Sable and Green Arrow, it's his Legion and Warlord work that made the biggest impression. Now, I have examples of both:

    Enjoy them. I will.

     

     

    For those that can't stand links, here's the new one:

  3. I have had good experiences with Joe.

     

    I bought a Colon/Rubinstein collaboration from him and a Netzer/Rubinstein. Both took time (too much, but not awful) and follow-up, but he did deliver and he didn't vanish. In one case, he provided an extra because of the delay.

     

    That of course does not excuse Rob's or Romain's experience. I'm just trying to point out that you should not give up hope. Keep on him.

     

    I also know that he's made an effort to clean up his act, but it's very likely that he missed some people. Joe needs an assistant to keep him organized at the least.

  4. I haven't had much trouble finding things.

     

    The Resources tab and the search box have worked well for me. What are you trying to do/find?

     

    I do wish I could filter on the searches with things like "(Legion, LSH)" to do an OR or "-swan" to exclude and artist.

     

     

  5. I posted my adventures this weekend in Boston on another thread, but thought I'd link to the art here, too.

    For those that don't like links, here you go, but really press the link and give the CAF some hits, Bill needs the money. :)

  6. I had to wait until Tuesday, April 9th, but I finally got my copy with my MJ head sketch.

     

    If you are interested, you can see her on this link and why I'm so glad to get it (non-Spidey fan that I am). Also, clicking supports the CAF so do that if you aren't interested in the sketch. :)

     

    For those hate links and don't want to support the CAF, here's the image:

  7. I will admit to weakness. I bought one within moments of Scott's note on comicart-l while in a meeting that I was running.

     

    I'm not a huge Spider-man fan; I thought a guy as handsome as JR's PP, with brains to rival anyone in the Marvel Universe, and two hot girlfriends had too many blessings to complain all the time.

     

    So, I didn't buy the first one though I have the others. That hurt my collecting gene and I do admire JR's work, but I could handle it. After all, I had Dave Stevens, Walt Simonson, and Wally Wood to comfort me.

     

    Until, IDW (curse them!) came out with this edition. Sigh...

    Now, for Barry Smith's Red Nails!
