Batman Enters The Slums! "It's Wrong to Deal With--THEM!" 1976 DC Comics Art!

This is my version, drawn at age 11 in '76, of the first few pages of 1971's classic BRAVE AND THE BOLD # 94! Already a Nick Cardy art fan, I lOVED this all-Cardy issue, and wanted to draw it panel for panel! Alas, I ran out of steam around page 1 1/2, but not before I got to depict Batman and a flustered Commissioner Gordon discussing the "slums," and "dealing with THEM!" Unintentionaly wrong and funny. I think. Click to enlarge!

Albert Bigley THOR Original Art? Shirley Bigley Scripts! Bill Bixby Gets Zapped!


This HAS to be the oddest piece of art from my own archives I've ever run. Inspired by NOT BRAND ECHH, Marvel Comic's parody and humor magazine, I drew this little beauty, but left the word balloons blank, handing over the Stan Lee-like scripting chores to my Mom, Shirley! She took the ball and ran with it, giving Stan Lee a run for his money! You now get a 1980 titanic tale featuring Lou Ferrigno, Bil Bixby (then the stars, of course, of the TV series INCREDIBLE HULK), Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the Mighty Thor! Huh? Click to enlarge, if ya must!

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!
