Bill Sienkiewicz again, this time a great poster of all the characters from DC’s highly underrated and sadly short-lived Milestone imprint.
-
And here’s a page of original art by the amazing Rick Veitch I commissioned and own. I don’t own a lot of original art—it’s expensive, and even as a wealthy freelance writer, there’s only so much I can afford—but I’m very proud of this piece. Rick’s a genius, his rates are good, and he’s taking

Another great—Sam Keith, of The Maxx fame. Keith only draws what he wants to draw—the first four issues of The Sandman are a lot uglier than they needed to be except for the one issue that takes place in Hell—but when he actually gets into a groove (as, obviously, he has done in this sketch), he’s the best

Today it’s just straight superhero art—J. Scott Campbell’s Marvel Universe. Hooray!

…Charles Vess, Spider-Man: Spirits of the Earth, and finally….

A really lovely Sandman painting by the frankly unbelievable Dave McKean. Will be posting a few of his inspirations today, too.
