Spidey vs Doc Ock! 1976 Albert Bigley Comic Art! Ouch!

Who could resist a great illustration of Spider-Man going into blazing battle against the evil and cunning Doctor Octopus? Well, instead of that, here is a terrible drawing of same! Drawn by me in '76, age 11, ol' Webhead seems to have no problem with sacking Doc right in his already-ugly puss, from a mile high! At east the good Doctor had the foresight to cover his embarrassed face during the melodramatic melee! Click to enlarge!

1976 INCREDIBLE HULK Albert Bigley Comic Art! "Incredible Sulk?!" Marvel Comics?

It's time for funny! Here is my 1976 parody of the then-new HULK iron-on from the Mead paper and school supply folks! I thought it woulda been SO humorous to spoof (WACKY PACKAGES-style) the logo, pose, and packaging, and, for an 11-year-old, maybe it was! You laughing yet? Click to enlarge all images, laff-lovers!

1976 BATMAN Albert Bigley 1940s DC Comics Art! Huh?!

Trying to depict the "Golden Age" 1940s Batman and Robin, here is my 1976 pencil drawing of the Dynamic Duo in action! I think I (age 11) saw and used a still from the 40's BATMAN movie serials, thus the baggy mask and capes. Nothing can explain those legs, tho. Click to enlarge!

Albert Bigley 1976 BATMAN "Anniversary" Cover! Original Art! DC Comics!

Here is an original (tho based on the cover of 1968's DETECTIVE COMICS #379) cover design I did at age 11, featuring a glory-hogging Batman taking part in a city-wide parade in his honor! Let's see Superman top THAT, huh? Notice the famous Batmobile aboard the same float, as well as the tiny figure of the evil Riddler top right (the arrow helps), ready to create a dark cloud over this joyous day of love!

1976 Mego Mighty THOR Art! Albert Bigley Does it Again! Not Really.

Inspired by Mego's mighty Thor action figure in 1976, here is my fantastic "portrait," drawn directly from said action doll! Not bad for an 11-year old kid, huh? And, it WAS a form of still-life drawing practice! Click to enlarge and enjoy!

1980 Albert Bigley CAPTAIN AMERICA Art! Marvel Comics?!

Ah, another classic from my past. Created at age 15, this is the final tear-jerking, senses-shattering pencil-and-ink page from my adaptation of some mid-60s CAP "Tales of Suspense" comics. I was fixated then on straight-edges, Flair pens purchased from the local Revco, and George Perez's art. You can read all about it here, but for now, be contented with simply gazing upon this sparkling treasure from the storied past of 1980. Click to enlarge!

Above, left: The final page to my 1980 adaptation of this famous tale, and (right) the actual 1966 John Romita-drawn version (which I had no access to, at the time)! My comic was based on an audio tape-recorded rerun episode of the MARVEL SUPERHEROES cartoon take on this tale!

Batgirl! Albert Bigley vs Carmine Infantino! 1977 Comic(al) Art!

After another long (and merciful) drought, here is another of my splendid childhood superhero drawings. This time, it's that sexy, flame-haired crime-buster, Batgirl! Or, an odd, short, big-headed lady in a Batgirl costume. For your fun and amusement, I've included the original 1967 Carmine Infantino art that inspired this drawing by the 11-year old me.
