Here is Sly as drawn by the uber-talented, Mort Drucker for the August 2008 issue of Muscle & Fitness. This is page one of a two page spread that also features Arnold, Kurt Russell and Jean-Claude Van Damme. The article looks at the Top 10 Movie Training Montages and rates “Rocky” as #1. Who could argue with that? – Craig
SZoner, Robert C. sent in the following: Hey Craig, I’m a long time Stallone Zone fan from Orlando, Fl. Last year I sent in the picture of Frank Stallone and I holding the signed Jakks Frank Stallone figure. I’ve been out in Hollywood, California for a couple days and who do I bump into while I’m out here. . .none other than the legendary Bill Pruitt! Bill was great! I bought a couple of portraits that have been featured in magazines, purchased by Sly himself and featured on Stallone Zone. Bill’s art is amazing, he truly has a gift. +++++
Very cool, I’d say. Thanks for letting us know. – Craig
