When I was a kid, I loved comic books. Just loved 'em!! Mostly Spiderman, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, that kind of thing. Archie and Richie Rich would do in a pinch, but to feed my comic book appetite I needed action heroes. Well, the truth is, I never really stopped loving comic books. I rarely read any of them anymore but they still have a warm place in my heart (I really gotta get that looked at!).
Lately I have been sort of obsessed by comic book art. Man, these artists are all kinds of talented!! Comic Book (or Graphic Arts) artist was something that I always wished that I could be. Alas, I seem to be better suited to sitting at a desk behind a computer 'technically supporting' others all day. C'est la vie.
Anyway, here is a small sampling of some recent works by various artists. See what I mean? These guys are wacky!!

Kevin(hubby) has Silver Surfer, volume 1. He's proud of it and how good the condiition of it is. His mom threw most of his coics away when he went to college, back in the 70's
