I'm now up to over 1000 pieces on ComicArtFans. It's mostly pages I've lettered or titled, but there's colouring and original art by me in there too. If you're not familiar with the site, it's an absolute treasure trove of original art..... #comicart www.comicartfans.com/searchresult...

Just finished Comic Book Punks by Karl Stock, an absolutely essential read if you’re interested in the history of British comic talent. The British Invasion of US comics, 2000ad, Zenith, Watchmen, Viz, Tank Girl, Marvel UK, it’s all here. Well worth a read. 😎

"The Thin Black Line: Perspectives on Vince Colletta" by Robert L. Bryant Jr. One of the most prolific comic artists/inkers of the silver and bronze age. Hero or Villain? You decide. Digital edition available for $6.99. twomorrows.com/index.php?ma...

The Thin Black Line: Perspectives on Vince Colletta

By Robert L. Bryant Jr

In the history of comic book art, Vince Colletta is perhaps the most prolific inker ever, and certainly the most controversial.

He jumped in at the last minute to rescue hundreds of comic books about to miss their printing deadline, often racing through the work of artists who fans say he should have worshiped.

In the 1960s he gave Jack Kirby's "Thor" an atmospheric look many fans love even 40 years later, but got kicked off Kirby's Fourth World comics in the 1970s for omitting details.

Whether you loved his work or hated it, this book will enlighten, entertain, and expose a life and career as colorful as the four-color comic books Colletta labored on for decades. Join Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Joe Sinnott, Mike Royer, Carmine Infantino, Mark Evanier, and dozens of other comics pros as they recall the Vince Colletta they knew and worked with, and pull no punches in their praise and criticism of the most notorious inker in the history of the medium—all surrounded by copious examples of Colletta art, including numerous "before and after" pencil to ink comparisons.

Did he save the Silver Age of comics—or ruin it?

You decide!

Since I’m giving a talk on the #FantasticFour soon, I thought I’d better go see the film. As a #JackKirby fanatic and lifelong fan of the FF, I was resistant. I expected to be dissatisfied. Disappointed. Probably annoyed. I was wrong. It’s brilliant. Don’t ask. Just go see it.

This is, as it happens, a lot like the storytelling advice Jack Kirby once gave me. He said that as long as your characters react like real people with real feelings, then no matter how far out you get, the audience will follow you.

When prepping the 1970's Silver Surfer graphic novel for release, Jack did a cover, and then—presumably in an effort to appeal to a wider audience?—Earl Norem was brought in to do a painted cover around Jack’s design.
