Here’s a continuation of my “Bob Almond Inkworks” sketchbook sketches on the back cover (the first sketches were posted earlier on this gallery page 8 titled “VAMPI BY DOONEY”. These were done with Pitt brush marker and other markers and I did them on 1/16-17/2006 to prepare for my upcoming NY Comicon next month. Characters shown here include in no particular order Ultron, Howard the Duck, Klaw vs. Black Panther, Thanos, Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers), Wonderman (in his original costume), Captain America and the Beast with the letter symbols A for Avengers, X for X-Men and D for Defenders underneath him to represent all of these teams he was a member of over the decades.
