Another Stallone Super-Fan

SZoner, Kevin Libal is a HUGE Sly fan. Kevin has been collecting Sly merchandise since he was 7. These are a few pictures of his collection. Thanks to Kevin for sharing! – Craig

PS – I noticed Kevin has one of the great Schomberg Rocky statues! We will be running an interview with Mr. Schomberg in a few weeks. You still have time to get in questions if you post them HERE.

New Bill Pruitt Painting

SZoner, Bill Pruitt has created another painting that fans are going to love! Here’s what he has to say:

Hi Craig,
I wanted to submit this new oil painting from Rocky V. I re-did an old painting and made it much better by combining the 2 photos below. Look for the hidden name “SLY” in it somewhere.

Bill
p.s. also prints are available of it and others on ebay.

Put Yourself in the Ad

SZoner, Hein, sent in the two pics and this:

Hello Craig,

I am a Sylvester Stallone fan from the Netherlands and a few weeks ago I was on holiday in Portugal. In a shopping mall in Guia there was a cinema and I checked for the Rocky Balboa movie. To my surprise I saw this big Rocky Balboa promotion board with Mike Tyson and Stallone. They made a hole in the board in which you could stand for yourself, really cool.

Look in the pictures which I have attached.

Keep up the good work for the website, it’s great!

Bye,
Hein

It’s interesting that Mike Tyson made the ad and Antonio Tarver’s face was cut out. Thanks to Hein for sharing! – Craig

SZoner, Peter Gaifort Hansen recently went on a tour of Philadelphia hitting all of the spots from “Rocky Balboa.” He sent in some pics to show us how things really look. – Craig
