Every week my good friend Bill who runs CAF selects 10 or so works from the week that he really likes and then he shows them on Thursday night during his live show. Well I’ve filled in during a past show and I really enjoyed it so I’m going to do my best to pick three pieces here as often as I can. Check out CAF yourself to see more great art.
The first piece is by Doug Cenko himself and featured in his own gallery— I love this cartoony style and wish modern comics used this type of work more.
From Comic Link’s Gallery
Next up is a Ross Andru Spider-Man page from the early 70s— Steve Ditko is the definitive Spider-Man artist for certain, but I grew up with Ross Andru so his lanky version of the wall crawler is what lives in my head.
From Mark Thelosan’s Gallery a piece by Mike Mignola
Lastly this great Mike Mignola Baba Yaga piece— Mike’s masterful use of heavy black areas to define shape and shadow is unrivaled and makes his work stand out. These relatively simple pieces are very expensive because owners don’t want to let them go.
Those are my picks for this week. Maybe I’ll branch into more as we travel down the road a bit.
