The wolverine, pronounced, Gulo gulo, also referred to as glutton, carcajou (man, someone should talk to whoever translated Mallrats to Spanish), skunk bear, or quickhatch, is the largest land-dwelling species of the family Mustelidae and the best there is at what he does.

Gallery: Moebius does America

Still a bit short of time, but here’s some art for your eyes to feast upon … This time it’s no one other than Moebius and I am not even going to bother and try to write him up. You don’t know who it is, click on the wiki link. The one thing I will say, though, is that it’s a pity that we cannot expect to be surprised by guys like him or Kirby anymore … Also, that has to be the best-looking Iron Man ever.

A week of art (Spanish edition): Carlos Pacheco

Leave a reply

There’s not much I can tell you about Carlos Pacheco that hasn’t been said before, originally from Spain he jumped from Marvel UK to the US and has worked on almost all the big titles and even published creator owned stuff. So, keeping that in mind, let’s take a look at his beginnings doing covers and pin-ups for Comics Forum (the Spanish publisher of Marvel comics during the 80’s and 90’s).

Here’s an assortment of his covers for Clasicos Marvel (a series that reprinted classic Marvel arcs). I guess most of you will have no problems to identify which arcs they are for:

Moon Knight
Avengers
Spider-Man
Wolverine
Fantastic Four
X-Men
X-Men
X-Men
X-Men
X-Men
Powerman & Iron Fist
Avengers
Spider-Man
Shang-Chi
Super-Villains

And some other covers and pin-ups from other series:

New Frank Quitely next week: Jupiter’s Legacy

Leave a reply

It’s spring (and starting to feel like it), Friday and we have new Quitely coming next week, so it’s clearly Frank Quitely gallery time …

Probably one of the only Artists working in comics, this guy can draw anything and it’s a fucking miracle we still get comics from him, so enjoy him while it lasts. Hopefully, Jupiter’s Legacy will be good. Mark Millar’s run on The Authority is still one of my favorite runs of anything ever, but I am not really enjoying Millar’s latest work … In any case, the art will make this a pleasure for the eye, so I am in for the whole run.

Digressing here, but how disappointing was it that Quitely only drew the first 3 issues of Batman and Robin? Following him with Philip Tan, really?

Friday, spring, … I tried to get some of his lesser known stuff in here, so enjoy:

Improbable crossovers

Leave a reply

As you might have seen on the collage I posted a few posts ago with my collection of inter-company crossovers, I am a bit obsessed with them at the moment. The quality is generally very poor but there’s something inherently fun about them.

I would like to take this moment to call for a minute of silence to the following crossovers, which might never happen:

Darkseid vs Thanos commission by Jim Starlin
Spider-Man and Spawn cover by J, Scott Campbell for Wizard
Batman and Deadpool commission by Derek Fridolfs
Batman vs Spider-Man by Michael Turner for the Last Man Standing section of the Wizard magazine
DC elseworlds Last Man Standing by Arthur Adams
Batman beating Wolverine commission by John Byrne
Lion-o vs He-Man by Ed McGuinness for the Last Man Standing section of the Wizard magazine
Wolverine vs Batman by Mike Wieringo for the Last Man Standing section of the Wizard magazine
Deadpool and Lobo commission by Reilly Brown
Hellboy vs Spawn by Mike Mignola for the Last Man Standing section of the Wizard magazine
Boba Fett vs Deadpool by Ed McGuinness for the Last Man Standing section of the Wizard magazine
Only piece of art created for the announced but never started Batman / Gen 13 crossover

Except the one with Darkseid and Thanos, of course … It’s already happened!

And, as a bonus, the King wanted to join the party too:

Captain America vs Batman

Captain America vs Batman by Jack Kirby

A week of art: Keith Giffen

Leave a reply

Soooo, to finish off the week of art, how about some Keith Giffen? I wanted to end big and trying to pick a few Kirby pieces would be too heart-breaking. I have loved Giffen’s work since I can remember and his ability to reinvent his style decade after decade is one of the most interesting things to follow in the US comics scene.

I tried to select some unpublished or rare illustrations. Some of them are from http://www.comicartfans.com, which, as always, feels like a trip down the missed opportunities boulevard …

Mr. Giffen, we all like your writing but try to get some art done more regularly, please! And if everything else fails, there’s always Kickstarter!!!
