Rambo by Megan Ruiz. Can you believe that Megan just turned 14 and she can already draw like that? Of course her dad is Alberto Ruiz so we know where she gets her talent. Not only can the young lady draw, but she is one of the nicest and most polite people you’ll ever meet. It was a true pleasure to get a drawing from her.

Sly Stallone by Rick Remender. I’ve been a fan of Rick’s work for years. He’s that rare talent that can write and draw and he does both very well. Check out his bio and you’ll be amazed at all of the cool things that he’s worked on. Check out his site and you’ll become a fan [if you’re not already]. Now if Rick could just find time to get around to The Last Days of American Crime!
Frank Stallone: Goodwill Ambassador
Frank Stallone is a huge fan of boxing. More than just a former amateur boxer, with 23 fights to his credit, Frank Stallone is also a boxing historian and collector of boxing memorabilia. Frank even served as the original casting director for “The Contender” series. Now he’s about to go even deeper into the sport as the Goodwill Ambassador for the First State Fighter Series, which starts Friday, July 13th at the Police Athletic League in Hockessin, Delaware.
Frank is waiting for the sport of boxing to make a comeback. “Boxing used to be in the headlines. Now, you don’t see it… I watch all the fights, but I’m waiting for something to happen. The heavyweight division can’t get any worse. You have guys talking in the third person, with earrings, talking smack and calling people names. Talking big-mouth stuff.”
Frank hopes that events like the First State Fighter Series will help bring boxing back into a positive spotlight and attract more kids to take up the sport. For the full article, click HERE. – Craig

Sly On Muhammad Ali
On Wednesday, Muhammad Ali turned 65. Sly was quoted for an article celebrating the champ and here’s what he had to say:
“What makes him the greatest fighter is that he simply had skills that exceeded anyone’s expectations,” Sylvester Stallone, who created and starred in the epic “Rocky” films, told Reuters.
Stallone’s Rocky character was based on a 1975 opponent of Ali’s, journeyman Chuck Wepner, a liquor salesman who lost a technical knockout to the champion in the 15th round. “He was the fastest, the best, the most positive and they’ll never see the likes of him ever again,” Stallone said of Ali. “Maybe the greatest athlete of all time.”For the full article click HERE. – Craig
