Portrait of a Young Batman! 1974 Albert Bigley Original Art! Bruce Wayne!

Here's yet another drawing of Batman's filthy rich alter ego, Bruce Wayne! Drawn by me, age 9, and inspired by regular BATMAN artist Irv Novick's take on Bruce, and his costume. I dug how Irv would depict the cowl as a kind of tight-fitting hood attached to the cape clasp...Click to enlarge!

1976 FLASH Artwork by Albert Bigley! Draw Like Infantino! Or Not!

Anyone recall the mid-70s DC oversized tabloids that had great features within, such as "How I Draw the Flash," by artist Carmine Infantino? Here is my drawing, done at age 11, inspired by the same instructional pages from the SUPERMAN vs FLASH Limited Collector's Edition!

I think Carmine did it better. Click fast to enlarge!

1980 Albert Bigley SPIDER-MAN Painting! Doc Ock Takes Over! Good Sense Does Not!

Click the wonderful image below to enlarge this 1980 Albert Bigley SPIDER-MAN watercolor painting, and double your Sunday Spidey pleasure! Or not. I was just getting my feet wet (heh) with watercolors then, and attempting to create some cool effects, but the overall look is one of some very dumpy actors in badly-fitting costumes posing for a camera (good rim lighting from above Spidey, tho). But, at least there's that flawless perspective in the background you can marvel at and enjoy! Sheesh!

1973 Albert Bigley CAPTAIN AMERICA Art! Jack Kirby Not Involved! Marvel Comics!

Take a gander at my 1973 CAPTAIN AMERICA drawing. Obviously lifted from a Jack Kirby splash page drawing from a then-recent issue of MARVEL TRIPLE ACTION (even tho it only starred two characters)! I made a half-hearted attempt to color it, but either I or my marker quit early! Bizarre! Click to enlarge, and salute!

My 500th Post! What a Way to Celebrate! 1980 Albert Bigley Art! Captain America and Bill Bixby?!

An old high school pal (thanks, FaceBook!) sent me these in-class drawings I did, circa 1980. Captain America,  Scarlet Witch, and--Bill Bixby?!

Yep. I used to love to caricature Bill, due to the then-recent HULK TV show spoof in MAD magazine drawn by Angelo Torres! Click to enlarge and start the celebrating!

   

1973 Albert Bigley FLASH Cover Art! Kid Flash! Meet The Turtle! Or Not!

Yes! Here is another masterpiece from my young days! A faux cover to an imaginary issue of the FLASH! Here, the scarlet speedster and Kid Flash (possessor of the coolest superhero costume ever?) confront the slow-mo Turtle! Can the Turtle's "force-shield" mean death for the daring speeders? YOU decide, by clicking below to enlarge this image!

1977 Albert Bigley Bruce Wayne BATMAN Art! DC Comics!?

Time to take a break from good ol' Batman, and draw his alter ego, millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne! Inspired by the then-current work (circa 1977) by artist Irv Novick, here is Bruce chillin' and kickin' in the Batcave, even smiling (like he often did in the Bronze Age) at the viewer! Even the ghost image of Batman is smiling like a sick fool! Click to enlarge!
