First of all we had Vampi sucking her own t*t and f*ngering herself . . . Now we have 'Infectious Lass' shaking snot off her arm . . . Wonder what's next up? Mr Fantastic seeing how big he can elongate his d*ck . . . I think we'll leave you to handle that one, seeing as you have such a vested interest in seeing it. Nah, I don't collect sleaze. That's your bag. Please don't commission one of your 'artist' ( ) friends to do the Mr Fantastic scene . . . it was just an off-the-cuff joke, y'know? But, anyways . . . Let's not fall out. Here's a peace offering for you. The Invisible Girl pleasuring herself:

Sadly, CAF is awash with this kind of cr*p. Thanks for drawing extra attention to the piece. It's appreciated. You're welcome.

True . . . Good point . . . Hot chick vs. Robin . . . Conan's da man!

I like . . . but Conan's nowhere near as muscular as Bats: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=634856&GSub=8848 Bats makes Arnie's Conan look like a pantywaist!

Or large scans!

Very nice Moldoff art, congrats. (thumbs u

I've not read the Hulk in a long, long time. When did the Leader gain all those lumps on his bonce?

Arrived this morning . . . Cover painting from the long-running series of UK war picture library series. This particular cover, DIVIDED DESTINY, saw publication in 1965. The cover and accompanying story was reprinted a further two times in later years. Bought this on eBay for £100 (GBP), which goes to show that you don't have to pay mega-bucks for everything you like.

I've had this cover a long time. I had it framed for most of the time it's been in my possession, but last year I took most of the artwork off my walls while my house was being put up for sale. As we're now poised to move house in the near future, it's time to get artworks back into their old frames . . . John Severin ALARMING TALES # 6 (last issue), November 1958

Thank you so much! You're welcome.

The 'Creeping Death' cover is absolutely wonderful!

I like your Chaplain drawings a lot more than the Wolvie. (thumbs u

The only artist I ever commissioned was the late Ron Turner - a UK great who will probably be an unknown to US collectors. Ron, at the time, was retired. To augment his pension, he would do commissions from fans who remembered his work. His rates were very reasonable. A full-color painted commission (irrespective of number of characters, backgrounds, logos, lettering, etc) would cost about £80 (around $130, I think?). He would have the commission completed within a month. Very reliable. Here's an example of a re-created paperback cover, called THE BLACK AVENGERS, originally published in the early 1950s: And to give listers an idea of Ron's comic-strip artwork, here's an episode (full-color painted art) from the long-running 1960s THE DALEKS strip (principle baddies from DR WHO) that ran over here in TV21 magazine:

Thanks, here is another Suicide Squad commission -- the Squad +1 are battleing a "Menace".... A great piece by DENNIS Sunday artist Ron Ferdinand. I never really thought of Master Sergeant Ernie Bilko (Phil Silvers) as being the heroic type . . .

I can vouch for Will. One of the good guys in this hobby. (thumbs u

Mystery solved:

From sellers wanting them to appear something better/more important than they actually are . . . or would-be buyers suckered into that idea. I remember when they are on Ebay, all on a single piece of vellum. They looked really amateurish and sloppy in a group. Then they got chopped into individual "stamps" and put into ornate frames with engraved plaques as if that would distract from the overall fecal quality they all shared. it makes a lot of sense to me that John Verpoorten drew these stamps If they came from Verpoorten's estate (which I wasn't aware of until I read Chris's post), it makes sense that he may well have drew the stamps. Going back several years, when I started this topic, I had two major concerns: 1. The integrity of the dealer trying to sell them. 2. The sanity of any would-be-buyer ready and willing to accept the BS of the former. I thought Verpoorten didn't start with Marvel until the late 60s. And if the artist(s) copied images from published drawings of the characters, where did he find a spider-man picture with eyes like that? Far as I'm aware, Verpoorten joined Marvel in 1967. And if he's the artist responsible, then the stamps date later than any pencil notation would have you believe . . . if you're that gulliable? As for the Spider-man picture . . . not the easiest of costume masks to illustrate. I'm not gullible enough to believe a daredevil picture is the firist time he was ever drawn even though the picture is of a costume he didn't have until issue #7. And I find it strange that anyone would make that assertion for very long; even if they were honestly wrong, you'd think someone would point it out in a fairly short time. If Verpoorten arrived in 1967 and he was the one he drew these, then he used references that were not the most recent. Aside from all that, the biggest clue about the time period may be Stan's hat (so we know it's pre-toupe) Just curiou. I think it has more to do with references that are appropriate for the project. Good head shots. If Verpoorten was the 'artist' for this project, he would no doubt have had access to old copies of the various Marvel mags to choose from (and in 1967 the superhero output of Marvel would not have taken up too much file space, would it?). Although I've already mentioned that I don't have the time or inclination to research each and every image, I can tell you this: The Ka-Zar stamp is copied from the splash page of X-MEN # 10, March 1965 (and if you're wanting to look for a good head shot of Ka Zar in 1967, his debut appearance is as good as any place to start looking, considering he didn't feature too heavily in the various titles). The Sgt Fury characters are copied from the cover of SGT. FURY # 18, May 1965. I'm sure that I could go on to provide the original sources for most of these stamps. When I first started this thread, several years ago, I made a point of highlighting all of these discrepancies to the dealer attempting to dress up and sell these stamps (re-read my original posts). Did he change his lofty claims? No . . . with the exception of changing his original assertion that the DAREDEVIL stamp was by Bill Everrett to being the work of Wally Wood. And without re-reading all the previous posts I noticed someone was suggesting the Invisible Girl looked life a Woody female . . . I guess it's true . . . you can fool some of the people some of the time . . . Given the Verpoorten connection and the general time frame it always seemed these were done for fun or a goof or for practice BEFORE he worked for Marvel. I remember when they got posted as "Kirby, Wood, Everett, Severin" Maybe if they all lost a bet and had to draw them with their feet instead of their hands. Hey, Chris The original link to the dealer's site (and stamps) still works: http://www.virtualcomicartcon.com/trade.htm Dated 1/9/64, it's uncanny that the SGT FURY and KA ZAR images (I mentioned previously) appeared exactly as they would do in the comic-book pages the following year . . . Maybe DR WHO was the artist?

Afraid not. No worries. What do you collect, original art wise? Just curious. Don't often come across someone from my neck of the woods . . .
