Here is a fun piece, somehow intended to be a cover, but unused - Judge Dredd by Freddie E. Williams II: https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=2048244

Here is one from Spectacular Spider-Man Issue 86, featuring Spidey and Black Cat. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=2011383

I know I had this posted about 2 weeks ago under the “This week in your original comic art” section, but I want this thread about Fred’s published artwork to be updated as well. Here is a complete Spider-Ham story by him. This is the title page, all the other pages are under additional pages in my CAF gallery. https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=2032269

Had the itch to upload this complete Marvel Tales Story from issue 216 featuring Spider-Ham. Art by Fred Ham-beck, I mean Hembeck 🤣 and Jose Albelo. Here is the title page of that story. Enjoy! https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=2032269

Here is the cover to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the issue before the one posted before. This one is in the collection of Scot aka McSpideyFan on CAF, when I spoke with him he said it’s fine to link his artwork here. https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=2004702

Here is a published cover by Fred Hembeck, an homage or spoof on the Daredevil 181 Cover by Frank Miller. It is an early cover of the current IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series and unmistakably a Hembeck cover. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1445394

Fun piece and like you said, a cover worthy commission. And there are many worthy and fun commissions or cover redos out there, but the published pages and covers are rare or you simply don’t see many of them. And my intention with this thread was to highlight the published pieces, but all good. Love that you contributed. Lets see what other pieces of work show up 🍿

Let me start with this complete 5 page story from the original 1984 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles book, actually from issue 2. In the reprint of issue 2, they featured this origin story by or in Fred Hembeck’s style and view. Here is the link to my CAF featuring this story. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=2003344

Hello, I think it’s about time to start a thread on published comic book artwork by Fred Hembeck. We all know his sketch cards or cover redos in his unmistaken style, but Fred Hembeck has been producing comic book artwork going back to the early 80’s and like a fellow collector recently commented, we rarely see these pages or covers anywhere. I always had a soft spot for these funny books, and Fred 100% fits into this category, so I was super excited that he was featured on CAF and even more excited to see that his work pops up in some major collections. So lets see them published pages - can’t wait what you all have!

I admit, not a new piece in my collection, but I sImply feel the mood of it this week. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1816279

Quick update, it was also used as the title page, or probably the other way around, first title page and then cover.

Go pig or go home - my newest cover from the most recent Spectacular Spider-Ham series, it is the cover to issue 1 by Will Robson. The cover was done completely digitally but my buddy asked if he would also create a traditional recreation of the cover, to which he agreed. Thank you to my buddy Vik to get me this for my birthday. https://www.comicartfans.com/galleryPiece.asp?Piece=1965187&GSub=0&GCat=3018&UCat=3018

Thank you all for responding. I will research further and update the post if I got confirmation about the artist.

Here is a better view of the signature - any help is appreciated.

Hello, does anyone recognize the signature on this double page splash featuring Hulk ? Thanks, Andy

It’s a Philly thing - the tush push, Eagles being 4:0, Phillies in the playoffs and Venom enjoying a Philly Cheesesteak! https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1961040 Venom Cover 30 - Shane Davis Always looking for more Venom Cover from the Philly storyline.

Added this fantastic Judge Dredd cover to my CAF. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1945448

I hope you are right about your position. It’s the old concern of property rights, can artists make money on characters someone else owns and so on How long will they look the other way. Our hobby has turned into big business, it’s not only a couple of comic art lovers any longer and whenever there is big money involved there is the chance of others trying to get a piece of the pie.

Why would you plan on doing this convention right in the middle of Disney property - makes absolutely no sense to poke the bear or mouse in this case. For our hobby I hope this does not backfire.
