The Monkees and the 1966 DC Comics Connection? Davy Jones!

It's rare when I can bring together two of my interests, but check this one out! A possible link between Silver Age DC Comics and the Monkees? Davy Jones a Gil Kane fan? Strange but possibly true? YOU be the judge! Who needs Oliver Stone? Click to enlarge and decide!

1973 Albert Bigley BATMAN Art! "Mini-Batman!" DC Comics!?

Just click on it to enlarge. Sigh. 

1974 "How to Draw Robin!" The Albert Bigley Way! Try It!

As a kid, I loved any "how to draw" features. Be it in comics, comic strips, drawing instructional books, etc...Here is my attempt to instruct other eager 4th graders on the delicate and intricate matter of drawing Batman's partner in crime-fighting, Robin. You can do it! Click to enlarge.

Batman Picks His Seat! 1973 Albert Bigley Art! DC Comics!?

Wow. This is one oddball drawing by me, age 8. I think the Mego Batman action figure served as inspiration, but what is Bats doing with his right hand, exactly? And why didn't I like the tiny Robin illo, in the background? What's with the "Pow" graphic, and the small Batman poster image floating in mid-air? The questions for the new decade.

1975 Albert Bigley BATMAN Art! Violent! Bronze Age! DC Comics! Zoopp!!

Here is a particularly violent BATMAN image I drew around 1975, at age 10. Batman stops a common thug at an airport, a common theme in those days of "skyjackings." Come to think of it, a very topical theme today, as well.

I think I used an Ernie Chan-drawn panel for my "inspiration" here! Click to enlarge!

Albert Bigley vs Jack Kirby! YOU Be The Judge! Marvel! Hulk! Love!

Not long ago, I posted my 1979 HULK drawing (below right), detailing how I used to draw my own versions of Silver Age Marvel Comics (based on audio recordings of reruns of the 1966 MARVEL SUPERHEROES cartoons at the time). The actual Marvel cover below left (a reprint cover by Sal Buscema) is kinda what I was going for in my own little watercolored masterpiece below.

But why stop there? Below left is a page from the actual 60's HULK saga, drawn by Jack "King" Kirby himself! To the right is my own version of that segment, pencilled by listening only to audio of the tale (to prep me for the Stan Lee "Marvel Method" of storytelling). Hey, I was 14, ok?
