This AVENGERS#162 (1977) original art by George Perez and Pablo Marcos is for sale on eBay is from my own collection….with the exception of a couple of years when a close friend held the piece for me, I’ve been the sole owner of this published art for the last 15+ years. This is obviously a classic sequence […]
I must pull out of the Southcoast Toy & Comic Show on November 6 as previously announced due to a family crisis. I spoke to co-promoter Mark Gomes last night who completely understands. My sincere apologies for those who were looking forward to seeing me.
I was invited to return to the Southcoast Toy & Comics Show in Fairhaven, MA for the third time. It’s on Sunday November 6 from 10-4 and will be my first show since June’s Heroes Con as I’ve been very busy and purposely took myself off the tour circuit. I will have all of my usual merchandise […]
Fall brings auctions to the forefront for both myself and my non-profit. Bob Shaw at Comic Art House has been running my Star Trek: The Last Generation pages penciled by Gordon Purcell for the last 2-3 weeks starting at $19.95 on his CAH eBay page and The Inkwell Awards starting running donations last week and this week is a stunner of various merchandise […]
I lost much of the recent spring and summer seasons starting with wrapping up the 2011 Inkwell Awards and working on the four Heroes for Hire issues for Marvel, now completed (I’m still feeling the all-nighter I pulled Wednesday/Thursday to close the door on this gig). The Spider-Island one-shot has a multitude of hero guest […]

We do three issues total, all tie-ins to Marvel’s ‘Fear Itself’ event, followed by a ‘Spider Island’ one-shot (more on this later). After that, there’s more to come from […]
I’m a little late getting this here due to my wacky schedule now…but to follow-up with my April 2 teaser, on April 12 the Marvel solicitations were released online so I can now reveal that I’ll be inking Kyle Hotz for a three-issue arc in HEROES FOR HIRE #9-11, all Fear Itself tie-ins for the present Marvel Event […]

On the WINNING front, I have been hired by Marvel to ink a three-issue arc for an ongoing Marvel series. However, I cannot reveal the specifics for another month when the next Marvel solicitations are posted online. Unfortunately, this will effect my schedule. I’ve had to regrettably cancel attending the Granite Con in Manchester,NH on May 15 and Free Comic […]
