Sly Stallone as Jack Carter by Brian Shearer!
Brian Shearer is a professional artist/illustrator. He is best known for his art on titles such as G.I. Joe, Transformers, Dr. Who as well as his creator-owned graphic novels, Gunship Thunderpunch and William the Last. When I saw that Brian was doing live-stream sketch sessions, I jumped on board and got his awesome take as Sly Stallone as Jack Carter. You can see more of Brian’s art at his website or his Twitter posts.

Jack Carter & John Wick by Alex Riegel!
Alex Rigel is back with his take on Sly Stallone as Jack Carter and Keanu Reeves as John Wick. What a team-up! If you’d like to see more of Alex’s art, check out his Instagram!
Marco Finnegan Gets Carter
That’s Marco Finnegan’s take on Sly as Jack Carter! When the opportunity came to get a sketch from Marco I jumped on it. Marco knows what to put in and more importantly what to leave out. His art style reminds me of Alex Toth and Darwyn Cooke.
I first became aware of Marco’s art when he teamed with Ace Atkins on two Nick Travers graphic novels: Last Fair Deal Gone Down and Crossroad Blues.
I was already reading Ace Atkins novels, so I decided to seek out more of Marco’s art. If you’re so inclined you can as well on his website or his Twitter. Marco is currently the artist on 007, Dynamite Comics new James Bond comics.
Sly Stallone as Jack Carter by Brent Schoonover!
This is Brent Schoonover’s take on Sly as Jack Carter and it’s a great one. Brent was creating art for folks who’d donate to the Special Olympics and I jumped on board. How awesome is it that Brent was drawing for charity? Very awesome is the correct answer. If you’d like to see more of Brent’s art check out his website or his Twitter.

FAN2FAN Podcast: Craig Zablo Talking Stallone Interview Part 1
The Fan To Fan (F2F) podcast with hosts Bernie Gonzalez, Peter Charbonneau and Doug Ziegler takes a simple idea and does it well. Each episode of F2F features a conversation between fans. The subject could be movies, comics, TV, video games, toys, cartoons, or anything pop culture! Bernie, Peter and Doug pick a fan with a love and/or knowledge of the episode’s topic and then do a deep dive.
Recently, the F2F team spoke with me about Sly Stallone. When I was approached to be a guest, I explained that there are Stallone fans with greater knowledge and bigger collections than mine. Still, they were interested in how I became a Stallone fan, the creation of StalloneZone and more. I was already a fan of Bernie’s Midnight Mystery, so I checked out F2F and became a fan of it as well.
Talking to Bernie, Pete and Doug was a blast. It was truly fans hanging out. Here’s part one of the conversation. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I did.
