Had the opportunity to buy a bunch of pages from Paul Pelletier and, despite the volume on display, I showed some restraint.
Paul's work on Fantastic Four brought my attention back to the book. Loved his depiction of the team, especially when it came to Ben! Here are some pages from FF #548.

The original art for the Torch page makes me smile.

Thanks to all who commented on my movie poster originals. I have three more purchases waiting in the wings (which I'll upload scans of as and when they reach me), plus a few other things I've still to post here . . .

A Tom Chantrell prototype painting used as the basis for the quad movie poster of the 1961 sword-and-sandal historical yarn starring Jeff Chandler in one of his last roles. The movie was retitled, 'A Story of David' and this prototype design served as the basis for the finished poster art which tightened up the detail and carried the revised title lettering. Very close to the finished artwork.
The black border running along the bottom of the art was intended as an area to carry movie credits type.

This one was the first purchase I made of a movie poster original painting. Not the type of movie (a weepie) that I would willingly go and see, but I liked the way Tom Chantrell composed and painted this one. It is the finished artwork, measuring a large 21" x 28" and dates from 1969. Really nice likenesses of its main stars.
Another factor that made me pull the trigger on buying this art . . . it was offered at a giveaway price.

"Portnoy's Complaint is a 1972 comedy film written and directed by Ernest Lehman. His screenplay is based on the bestselling 1969 novel of the same name by Philip Roth.
The film focuses on the trials and tribulations of Alexander Portnoy, a Jewish man employed as the assistant commissioner of human opportunity for New York City. During a session with his psychoanalyst, he explores his childhood, his relationship with his overbearing mother, his sexual fantasies and desires, his problems with women, and his obsession with his own religion. Via flashbacks, we learn about his affairs with Bubbles Girardi, the daughter of a local hoodlum; Israeli Naomi; and gentile Mary Jane Reid, whose nickname "Monkey" reflects her remarkable agility at achieving a variety of sexual positions. Mary Jane seemingly is the girl of Portnoy's dreams, but as their relationship deepens and she begins to pressure him into giving her a ring, he shrinks from making a permanent commitment to her."
Although painted by Tom Chantrell as a prototype for the central image of the British quad poster design, comparison to the final art shows that that this one was very close to the resulting painting.

In addition to the movie poster stuff, I've been having Bruce McCorkindale recreate a number of my favourite silver age Marvel covers. Bruce is a professional inker and whenever he's working on these commissions (working from printed covers as a guide), he tries to replicate how the artist's inking would likely have appeared if the originals still existed (the delicate line-work having been thickened during the printing process).
Here's a commission I had Bruce do for me, transposing the story splash with the original cover design (I always preferred the splash page image over that of the published cover).

Wait, the Stranger was first introduced in X-MEN?? I could have sworn it was in the Silver Surfer title. I love learning new things!
