TARZAN by CHARLTON comics







I waited for the right time to pounce. I finally saw a copy of TARZAN number one by Charlton comics on E-bay today...I ordered it to add to my coolection of awesomeness! 10 bucks for issues 1 , 2 and 3 !!! art by Sam Glanzman...( However the cover to this one is by someone other than Sam...I'll need to wait until I get the comic so I can read the name more clearly...should be here by Wednesday. WooHoo!


Speaking of TARZAN ...look at this toy I discovered on the web while searching the jungles of the internet. Box art by JACK " KING" KIRBY!

HERCULES vs TARZAN









Here is the finished piece. Thanks to Cromsblood from over at CROM the Ultimate CONAN fan blog for his assistance...looks great Blood thank you!


( The general idea behind this cover and the CONAN cover is that HERC has been stripped of his strength and cast out by his pops into strange unknown lands so a battle with TARZAN or CONAN could mean his demise.)

CONAN vs HERCULES ~ in COLOR!



I was inspired recently to whip up an homage to Jack Kirby....being that Charles R. Rutledge from " Singular points " and I were mentioning that Jack Kirby never really had any CONAN material out there. So I pulled a Rich Buckler/Ron Frenz and swiped/borrowed a couple of poses to draw up this HOMAGE to CONAN and KIRBY in honor of his Birthday recently Aug 28.
I was thinking after I drew it...man this needs some color and thought to myself " Hmm I've been working on a side project with Cromsblood...but he has a child on the way and he's very busy as of late. Then I remembered the Rudy Nebres " One minute later " piece from several posts back and how Mike Dominic from AIM comics producers of " The Brutal blade of BRUNO the BANDIT " colored in the artwork the very next day...it was an internet smash and can be found in several places...( Folks that was Mike Dominic who colored that in ) So I asked "DOM" if he would not mind doing this fun little side job for me. Sure enough the very next day VOILA!
I could not be prouder..thank you "DOM" You did a great job coloring and adding text to my piece! You are a great artist! I hope you folks out there like it. I'm very proud.



By the by,,,I do not really like the word SWIPE...I rather prefer REFERENCE.
