Art For Art’s Sake #339: Navigating The Seas Of Comic Art Since 2019

by Richard Bruton

Art For Art’s Sake. The equivalent of your own private comic art gallery every week…

Let’s start with something from the wonderful Margaux Motin, whose work really, really, really should be more available in English…

Andi Watson – Jawas

Marcos Martin – Spidey

Via David Roach – the very first Red Sonja solo strip from Savage Sword of Conan #1 – art by Esteban Maroto and, David suggests, inked by Neil Adams.

Wally Wood

Darwyn Cooke

Charles Vess – Dr Strange

Frank Frazetta

John McCrea – Hitman and the Demon, a recreation of The Demon #43 cover

Philippe Druillet – Salammbo from Heavy Metal (1980)

Oh, there’s something quite unreal about Trad Moore‘s work… just like this Silver Surfer commission…

David Lapham – Detective Comics (2005)

Colin MacNeil – Scarlet Witch

Joe Madureira – Wolverine

Harley Quinn #9 (2017) – Amanda Conner and Paul Mounts.

Bill Sienkiewicz Harley Quinn

Alex Ross – X-Men designs after the Grant Morrison run and the movie:

Black Canary And Oracle – Otto Schmidt

And we shall end with this… from Superman: American Alien #3 2016 – written by Max Landis, art by Mark Buckingham, colours by José Villarrubia – just one page, but damn, it’s a great, great page:
