Dave Wachter and Stanley Kowalski

Craig / / 2013, Craig's Sly Art, Lords of Flatbush

Dave Wachter returns with his take on Sly from the Lords of Flastbush. I met Dave a few years ago and became an instant fan. I wasn’t the only one to discover Dave’s fantastic sketches! How can you not like a great guy who is a terrific artist?

At HeroesCon this year I asked Dave to do Sly from his first major movie, the Lords of Flatbush and another piece of Sly from his latest film, Bullet to the Head.  Next week, you’ll see Dave’s take on Sly as Jimmy Bobo.

Until then, you can see more of Dave’s art at his site. – Craig

Sly & Arnold in “Contra”

Craig / / 2013, Celebs

Ask any die hard Stallone or Schwarzenegger fan about the first time that the dynamic duo first appeared together and you’ll get the easy answer: The Expendables.

That’s the correct answer if you don’t count that Sly and Arnold’s “likenesses” were used for the old school video game Contra.

MTV Multiplayer recently posted that John Harmon, who is known for his custom made action figures, recently created figures for Contra.  Yep.  Arnold and Sly.  No question. – Craig
