Based on the fabulous art of John Romita sr., here is my 1975 NOT-so-fabulous attempt to depict the supporting cast of the SPIDER-MAN comics of the day. Could this possibly BE any creepier?

eBay FANTASTIC FOUR "Error Card!" Reed? Rex? Richards? Wrong!
Ah, ya gotta love eBay and the people who sell on it. Dig this FANTASTIC FOUR sketchcard I created, featuring Reed Richards. Some lucky soul found this in his FF trading card packs, and, of course, sticks it right onto eBay, advertised as "REX Reed."
And he wonders why there are no bids, I'm sure.

Al Bigley is COVERED! JUSTICE LEAGUE #1 Re-Mix!
Check out this link for some great re-mastered comic book covers from the past, such as my "animated" take on the cover to DC Comics' JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1! Lots of great images at this very cool site!
1976 Captain America Stamp Set! Bicentennial Fun! Avengers! Marvel Comics!
Lots of re-drawn art here (is that Neal Adams on Spidey vs the Surfer?), including Ben Grimm smoking away on a choice "cee-gar" (let's see THAT today)! I imagine most art was re-worked to fit the stamp sizes, as each set had to include 10 stamps framed within a fixed frame size... Very nice work! Click to enlarge!
Christmas Tree Shopping-Right on TARGET!
Seen at Target last week (no, not Wal Mart)! This happy shopper is tooling around with a fully assembled Christmas tree in cart (price tag firmly affixed), ready to buy, only days before the big day! All while pursued by an elderly gentleman in a "mart cart!" Click to enlarge!

Shazam '76 Superhero Stamps! Captain Marvel! Billy Batson!
Another beautiful set, with Golden and Bronze Age art by Neal Adams, Kurt Schaffenberger, Mac Raboy, and so many others! Click to enlarge!
1979 Albert Bigley INCREDIBLE HULK Painted Original Comic Art!
Done by me as a cover for my own 30-page comic based on 60s Hulk TALES TO ASTONISH tales (as recorded from the afternoon MARVEL SUPERHEROES cartoon reruns). Not bad for a 14-year old using ink and watercolors. I was inspired by the painted covers of the 70s RAMPAGING HULK magazines, with paintings by Ken Barr, Earl Norem, and Bob Larkin.

1970 PRO! Magazine! Marvel Comics Invades the NFL! Spidey! Hulk! Buscema!
In one of the oddest (and earliest) examples of Marvel Comics cross-promotions, here is a 1970 PRO! souvenir magazine program book, featuring the Marvel Superheroes doubling for then-famous football stars! Click to enlarge!
It's also interesting to note that this is a rare art job of the
era NOT done by John Romita Sr.! Instead, Big John Buscema stepped in (helped by wordsmith Stan Lee), to superbly handle the spot illo chores on this custom job!

Strange "Hill Monster" Sighted in NC! Alien? Ghost? Hoax?
Spotted in a Weddington, NC neighborhood. This appears to be a dirt mound some kids have drawn a face on, NOT any unearthly being. Not the second face on the right of the hill.
