Doug Dabbs is Expendable

Craig / / 2012, Craig's Sly Art, Expendables


Doug Dabbs is back!  I first met Doug in 2011 at Heroes Con. I was heading out from the show and saw his art. If there had been time, I’d have got a sketch on the spot.

I told Doug I would get a piece from him in 2012 and I did. Two in fact. This piece is Doug’s riff on Barney Ross from The Expendables. Since it is one of my favorite sketches from 2012, I thought it would be fitting to go out with a bang! – Craig

On December 17, 2012, The New York Post ran a piece titled, Stallone, Schwarzenegger and More Anti-Gun Celebrities.

They went back to 1999 to get this quote from Sly:

Rambo himself is anti-gun. In response to the shooting of Phil Hartman in 1999, Sylvester Stallone told Access Hollywood, “Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you’re gonna have. It’s pathetic. It really is pathetic. It’s sad. We’re living in the Dark Ages over there.”
