I bought that Superman a couple years ago directly because it was supposedly the John Byrne Superman.

(What can I say? I'm a JB fanatic. I make NO apologies!)

A "JB fanatic" who cannot recognize when something isn't my work?

...well, yeah.
This is another example of Collector Mentality (mania), I bought the FreakForce comic from Image simply because Vic Bridges' artwork was close to your style. (Being generous to him).

Hey, if something is within arm's reach and it somehow fits in my JB collection, I can't refuse.

I am tempted by both the She-Hulk and Zatanna from the Bishoujo collection...

New WW statue based on the art of Robert Valley. I liked his DC Nation WW shorts, but seeing the art rendered in 3D leaves me completely cold.

The pegs for holding her on her base are a bit of a distraction.

Those are motion lines, JB!

That Wonder Woman (?) is ridiculous.

I was convinced for the longest time that "Vic Bridges" was one of JB's pseudonyms -- it was like getting a fresh dose of JB superheroes every month.

Vic Bridges did a good job of aping my IRON FIST vintage work, but it was most depressing for me when some fans thought (and occasionally insisted!) that the work was actually mine. One guy got most belligerent, one year at MidOhioCon, when I politely declined to sign a Bridges comic.

Another of those Forty Years* Wasted moments.

* Or however long it was at that point!

  JB, has there ever been a figure or statue that you thought captured your art style?

There's a George Perez inspired Batman in the Black&White line that could have been sold as mine and I doubt too many folk would have been much the wiser.

Definitely looks more like your style than Perez to me.

A 50 centimeter long Thunderbird 2 vinyl is coming from Kaiyodo...

CollectionDX Link

Looks great, but lacks any action features, and I've no more room to put it anywhere...
