Mycroft

Here comes three very nice pages and a cover by Stuart Immonen from Shockrockets ! This is my first published cover !

I really enjoyed that series. Those four pages make for a nice sequence of "hero rising from the ashes of defeat and ready to kick " with top notch storytelling !

One of my christmas gifts :

This is not actually new art, but since I'm newcomer, I think I should begin by linking to my little CAF gallery.

A few pages and sketches will be added time allowing.

One thing that I make sure I do is read the story that the art comes from. There have been plenty of time when I see an incredible splash page, but then I read it in the context of the story and (1) it is the only decent page of art in the entire book or (2) the story is .

 

Some may disagree that story is important, but to me it is vital.

I agree.

Buy OA mostly from books you've read (before is best).

I have done otherwise sometimes, but it's not as pleasant.

Two good links for beginning collectors (like myself)

Don't buy Mark Bagley New Warriors pages...those are mine! (hahahah...but seriously)

You should keep an eye on ebay.
