“Cobra” by John Beatty
Here’s Sly as Marion Cobretti aka Cobra. This piece was created by the man, the myth, the legend, John Beatty. You can watch a video of John creating the piece below.
If you like what you see, check out more of John’s (almost) daily live drawing. John is also available for commissions!
Sly Stallone and Dolph Lundgren on Their Epic “Rocky IV” Fight

Sly Stallone and Dolph Lundgren spend a couple of minutes watching and commenting on their epic fight in Rocky IV. It’s worth a look.
Sly Stallone and “The Tenderloin” Are Coming!

Sly Stallone and his Balboa Productions is teaming with A+E Studios for The Tenderloin, a new television series. Stallone will serve as an executive producer as well as direct several episodes. Stephen Kay, who directed Stallone in Get Carter and whose television credits include Sons of Anarchy and The Shield, will write the pilot and serve as an executive producer.
The Tenderloin follows Charles Becker a turn-of-the-century New York City cop who led the Strong-Arm Squad in keeping order in an area of the city known as the Tenderloin. Think The Shield, except that The Tenderloin is based on real events. Charles Becker was…
…the first and only policeman in U.S. history to be executed for murder.
Sounds like something a lot of us are going to like!
Shamus Murphy Gets Carter!

I got this Jack Carter sketch from the very talented Shamus Murphy at HeroesCon 2016. It was actually the second sketch I got from Shamus at the show. The first was a Rocky Balboa and I’ll post it soon.
Very Rare “First Blood” Poster by Drew Struzan with Stallone & Kirk Douglas!
This comes to us from my collection. It is a rare advertisement for First Blood from when the project was first promoted. Yep, Kirk Douglas was set to play Colonel Trautman.
Douglas left the production when he learned that the original ending (in which Douglas’ character killed Rambo) had been changed to allow Rambo to live. Richard Crenna was brought in and the rest, as they say is history.
The great Drew Struzan did the poster!

Sly Stallone Nails a Touching Deleted Scene in “Creed 2”

Here’s a deleted scene featuring Sly from Creed 2. Unlike another Creed 2 deleted scene where Rocky and Drago get into a brief punching exchange, I think that the dropped scene below would have made a nice addition to the film. As Men’s Health said…
Sylvester Stallone Nails a Touching Deleted Scene in Creed II.
