Jeff Wamester’s “Nighthawks”

I’ve been a fan of Jeff Wamester’s art since I first laid eyes on it.  We exchanged a few e-mails and I’d picked up a copy of sketchbook, but we’d never met.  You can imagine my surprise to discover that he was going to be a guest at Heroes Con this year.  I was fortunate enough to get on his sketch list and he came up with the very cool take on Deke DaSilva from “Nighthawks”. 

You can see more of Jeff’s work at his site, Deviant Art, WMD: The Saga, and hopefully again here at the SZ!

Dick Giordano’s Demolition Man 3

Dick Giordano is a legend. During his fifty plus years in the biz he’s done everything from ink all the greats (including himself) to serve as Editor-in-Chief of DC Comics, to co-founding his own comic company. Mr. Giordano also has a great sense of humor.

I recently had the good fortune to pick up six model sheet headsketches of Sly that Mr. Giodano did before starting work on DC Comics adaptation of “Demolition Man.” That’s the third posted above.
