Tom Smith is currently coloring Brave and the Bold for DC. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Tom get his start by coloring the cover to Namor # 1?

It's been a good week so far.  Just got this from Geof Isherwood in my inbox.  :)

I wanted a commission featuring good old Foggy Nelson.  The idea was that Foggy would be trying to stall a client at the door as Matt is quickly changing out of his costume and into his civilian clothes.  An example of their friendship, and the crazy things a friend of a superhero likely has to contend with on a daily basis. 

The layout is a little different than what was in my own mind's eye; I was focusing more on Foggy, and there are a couple of oddities, but overall I think Geof captured the essence of what I was going for quite well.  His rates are very fair, he's super fast, and communicates very well via email.  All great things when commissioning an artist! 

edit: looking at this small scan, it's hard to see, but Foggy's brow is dripping with nervous sweat.  Per Geof, he's nervously motioning the young lady to sit at the couch.

I loved Isherwood's work back when he was working on Conan. Haven't seen much from him since.

I love Geof for the reasons Craig mentions..he's fast and gets the little details right, he knows the characters, and is very easy to contact and deal with on all ends.  I have 5 pieces from Geof, and at this point, i feel he's my go to guy if i have a comic related or art question.

I've been waiting for this piece to be available for months. From Brave and the Bold # 1 (current series).

It just arrived in the mail today, Ari. I was hoping for one more, but there was a miscommunication and I only got the one page.

This just came in the mail moments ago:



I've been looking to add a JB Superman page to my collection for years.

(Packed to withstand anything short of actual gun fire. Thanks Jim Warden!)
