The Inhumans: Black Bolt and Medusa
One of my most avid supporters, blogger Allan Harvey, has often written that he would like to see me draw The Eternals. Well, now that Allan has informed me that I had a brain fart, it appears I still haven’t drawn The Eternals, because these dudes are Inhumans.
Must get more sleep.
This shot of Black Bolt and Medusa from Marvel Fanfare #39 was one of my first jobs for Marvel Comics, circa 1987.
I’ve decided to go ahead and sell this in my ebay auctions, so take your chances by clicking here to see the items for sale! Very low minimum and I’d give it a retail value of at least $250. You never know with ebay! Some items go for much more than I expect, and others slide out of here on the cheap! It’s a roller coaster.
I will continue to sell original art until the end of September, and then my work goes back off the market.
Thank you so much for your support! I really appreciate my patrons, and I especially appreciate the kind notes you all send me! So good of you!
Don’t forget to check out Allan’s blog at this link. It is one of the most entertaining classic comics blogs on the net. You can never get enough of those goofy romance covers, and unintentionally hilarious issues of Jimmy Olsen.
And now I go to get some drawing done, because dang, the internet uplink has been dicey today. I have only been able to get two pages loaded in the last four hours.

Black Bolt and Medusa are Inhumans rather than Eternals. The Eternals were Ikaris, Makkari, Sersi, etc… Mind you, you’d do a good job on the Inhumans too — just be sure Black Bolt doesn’t call to say thanks.

Oh bloody hell, you’re right. Long damned day.

Ehrm, Allan, why would he even use a phone
Lovely piece and no kidding on some of the art going for cheap. I got VERY lucky 3 times today!!

LOL! The economy strikes!
My consolation is knowing that I did not have to go to the time and expense of attending a convention to sell those pages.

Ah… if only I had money. And I’m not even into the Marvel U — I just like this picture.

One can only hope Black Bolt has discovered the Internet.
Message boards, blogs, Twitter . . . you wouldn’t be able to shut the guy up.

Oh, that Brian! Always boasting about his uber-successful love life…

Maybe Colleen should do an advertising campaign implying a link between buying her artwork and getting laid.

Everyone knows owning my art makes you more attractive and brings you the mojo.
Because I am a wise ass, there is a particularly goofy thread about this art on my Facebook page where we all wonder why the heck Black Bolt can’t just pick up a pencil and write a note once in awhile. The book got all angsty because the misses could never know her hubby really loved her, which is like…duh…dude, write a poem or something. I know he’s got to maintain control over his voice even in intimate moments, but there’s nothing stopping him from jotting a post-it.

For the same reason guys leave the toilet seat up or forget to pick up milk after work like we promised. Because we’re guys.

No way! Can’t get guys off the internet. Get that dude a Facebook account, and he’ll talk all night.
August 30th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Oh, that’s just nonsense, Colleen. Whaddya mean you can’t get guys off the Internet? I can stop any time I –
Oh, I’m online right now, aren’t I.
Busted.
