Beethoven by 'Alex Ross'

 

Probably you didn't realize that Alex Ross ever painted a portrait of Beethoven.

Well, he didn't!

But if you take a painting of Doc Strange and ask A.I. to tweak it a bit?

Voila! 

 

 

 

 

A Jack Kirby Stageplay in Brooklyn

 

A play about the life of Jack Kirby?

That sounds great!

The original run ended last month but maybe there will be a revival.

Hooray for Jack Kirby! 

 

 

The Justice League on Water Skis

 

Superman on water skis!

Batman and Robin on water skis!

In the late 1970s, Seaworld in Orlando Florida had water shows featuring costumed DC superheroes! 

Maybe you saw the ads on the back cover of some comics back in that era.

But you'd probably like to see some video footage of the show, right?

Please look right over here! 

 

 

Mrs. George Perez

 

 

The Artist's Edition of The New Teen Titans has been published!

Above you can see Mrs. George Perez, Carol, proudly holding up her copy of the tome.

If you pull back the lens on that photo a little bit, something in the background interests me.

 

 

That painting on the wall! What a great portrait of George Perez!

Unfortunately the resolution of the photo does not allow a reading of the artist's signature.

I wish I knew who painted it. 

 

 

Action Comics like Never Before

 

Are you ready for a decidedly different take on the cover to Action Comics #1?

Ivan Manuppelli is an Italian cartoonist with a very distinct style!

The gentleman is also known as Hurricane Ivan and you can read a little more about him over here. 

 

 

 

A Colorful Hulk

Hulk smash!

The bold coloring scheme on the artwork REALLY smashes! 

A tip of the hat to artist JP Cuison also known as Gigzilla. 

Here is an Instagram reel of the artist creating the masterwork, very fun!

 

 

 

 

Play-Doh Martian Manhunter

 

 Absolute Martian Manhunter has been for me one of the highlights for me of DC Comics' Absolute line. 

The writing by Deniz Camp was crisp and provocative while the art and colors by Javier Rodriguez were hypnotically beautiful.

After the series won three Eisner Awards at the San Diego Comicon last week, Mr. Rodriguez wrote "Deniz came up with an incredible pitch; I picked up some Play-Doh and that's how it all started."

Play-Doh!
