JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA! Original 1977 Albert Bigley Art! DC Comics?! Batman?!

Here we go again! Take a look at this --er--interesting take on the long-standing superhero group, the JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA! Drawn by me in early 1977 (age 11), here are all your favorite characters, seen as never before (ain't that the truth)! Also-don't miss my little note, to you, the wonderful viewer! Click to enlarge, JLAers!

Who Watches the Watcher? YOU Do! 1980 Albert Bigley Original Comic Art! Marvel Comics?!

Hoo boy! Drawn by me, age 15, way before I learned the important artistic lesson that "less is more!" Inspired by Jack Kirby and Jim Steranko (dig the complex machinery), and more recent (in '80, anyway) pencilling sensations like George Perez, here is one doozy of a needlessly complex drawing!  Hey! I was drawing in the dreaded "Image style" 10 years early! Click to enlarge, if you must!

Batman's "Silent Night!" 1974 Christmas Tale by Albert Bigley! DC Comics?!

Just unearthed by a hard-working comics artifact finding team! They were able to procure only one page from my 1974 Batman Christmas tale, "Silent Night, Deadly Night!" I think I produced this, at age 9, for a class project, and boy, is it an oddbal item! Why is a "street peedler" dressed as Santa collecting "money for charity?" And how about that writing? Alan Moore, move over! Sure, I missed posting this late last month for the holidays, but better late than never! Click to enlarge!

1982 "Don Bigley Meets The Hulk" Comic Strip! Albert Bigley Art! Bill Bixby? Marvel Comics?

Not sure if this was part of a trio of hand-drawn comic-strip newspaper ads for my father's tire shop, but here is my (age 17) own illustrated tale of Dad Don Bigley meeting the Incredible Hulk! Silly and inspired by Marvel's satire book NOT BRAND ECHH, this is one odd little story, coming off like a demented 70s "Hostess Fruit Pie" comics ad! I thought it was funny to depict my father as constantly being draped in heavy shadow, as if he was a mysterious figure pulling stings from behind the scenes! Click to enlarge if ya really must!

The AVENGERS! 1980 Albert Bigley Original Comic Art! Captain America! Marvel Comics?!

Sheesh! Moving forward a bit to 1980, here is my huge (around 12 by 17 inches!) family portrait of the Avengers, as drawn by me, age 15! I loved this period of the book, coming off it's incredible 70s run, and still featuring great George Perez art, and a stellar line-up of Marvel superheroes, including the Falcon! Note the small details in the background of this piece, including the Hulk (founding member) and Jarvis portraits, Cap's mug, etc.! I still had a looong way to go! Click to enlarge!

1973 Albert Bigley BATMAN Drawing! "To The Batpoles!" Batman Shakes His Money-Maker! Bronze Age Madness!

Another big one from my checkered past! This scribbling (complete with my huge signature) features mighty Batman shimmying down the Batpole, as if he's moonlighting as a cast member of "Showgirls!" Drawn by me (when I still lived in Jersey) at age 8, and based on the then-ubiquitous BATMAN TV show afternoon reruns (hence the clear and obvious label for the Batpole), this is certainly one oddball image!

Albert Bigley 1976 FANTASTIC FOUR "Playing Card!?" Marvel Comics! Human Torch!

Another blast from my past! Here is the pencil art to some sorta FANTASTIC FOUR "Super-Heroes" game I (age 11) had made up one Saturday afternoon. Thankfully, no other cards exist from this project, one that probably sprang from the handy availability of these odd shirt cardboard pieces. "Invisibe Girl?!" Sheesh! Click to enlarge!
