re-creation of a page from JIMMY OLSEN 143:  The original was by Kirby/Colletta. Apparently it was one that Royer would have liked to ink, and in this version he got to. Royer inked 146-147 of Kirby's OLSEN run. The rest were inked by Vince Colletta (with heads inked for continuity's sake mostly inked by Murphy Anderson).

 A Byrne poster page of all the Marvel characters, from the 1976-1978 period. Probably from a Marvel Calendar.

http://static.flickr.com/4113/4845509554_9be28926a0_b.jpgThis is a captionless version of the SUPERMAN 252 cover by Adams. The issue itself is a great collection of golden age reprints by Lou Fine, Sheldon Moldoff and others.

 An artist jam heroes poster with names spanning from the 40's to the 80's, that must be priceless in its original form.

With Superman's reflexes and super-speed, would that cone ever really hit the ground? More likely it's a ploy to duel tongues with Wonder Woman.  From SUPERMAN ANNUAL 11 (1985) by Moore and Gibbons.

Is Darksied the only bad guy there? I'm not sure if Demon,Spectre and the Blackhawks are good guys ish.

Well, the others might be hunted and misunderstood (like Spider-man) but are still heroes. I was wracking my brain trying to figure out all the characters in that page, and who drew them. Jim Mooney was the first regular artist on Tommy Tomorrow, back in the 1950's, so that makes me think the character in question is Tommy Tomorrow. What I like about this page is that the characters are mostly either drawn by their creators or by artists of definitive runs, or quite a few by the artists who were doing a then-current new series with the character (like Steve Rude on Mister Miracle, or Matt Wagner on the Demon). I'd guess this was drawn in 1987-1988. ******************************** UPDATE: I found this link, that gives the full breakdown of artists for this poster... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dcu.jpgAlthough it was fun to guess who did what, it's nice to know for sure. Apparently this poster was printed as a 4-page fold-out 3 pages, and 1-page character key) in a HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE hardcover that I've never seen or heard of (till now). And it began (as stated earlier) as a 3rd-floor wall mural in DC's New York City office in the elevator lobby (from 1988 until DC moved its offices to L.A. in 2014). -- Dec 19, 2014 Pictured characters, from left to right, with the artist(s) following the character:

Some of these drive me nuts, and I left some signature names out of my list.
Kaluta's name is there, but nothing there looks like him to me. Maybe the White Queen, inked by Russell?
Or Bill Sienkeiwicz. Maybe Plastic Man? Or inking Cowan on The Question?
And several signatures I can't read. What's the point of signing something if no one can read it?

I wish I'd seen it. You took a tour of the old DC offices?
It still looks like a printed version. It looks like a paper-fold going through the Demon, Captain Marvel and Guy Gardner.
With a lesser crease through Amethyst to the right of them.
And another paper-fold through Blackhawk and surrounding characters on the other side.

That makes it okay On another note, I wonder who Bob Kane got to ghost the Batman and Robin artwork for him. It must've been hard sneaking somebody in to draw on the wall in the middle of the night.

Sheldon Moldoff was the main ghost artist for Bob Kane. It would be fun if Moldoff came in to draw it wearing
a Batman costume, entering through a 20th floor window in the dark of night!
Pardon my naïve optimism, but I like to believe that Bob Kane might have actually drawn it. Kane in that era was
doing painted reproductions of old covers that were selling for upwards of $10,000 each. At that price,
it might be worth it to actually do the work himself.

I might be wrong but I seem to recall reading that Kane even had a ghost artist doing his painted reproductions

And on a segue from ghost work...  Neal Adams in his prime, from STRANGE ADVENTURES 214 (Oct 1968). Adams' Deadman work is still arguably his best and most inventive work.

 More beautiful but obscure Neal Adams calendar pages. Adams had another round as DC cover artist in 1977-1978. And did calendars for 1976, 1977 and 1978.

To each their own, but the stuff that resonates the most for me was published between about 1970-1985.
Particularly the work of Adams, Wrightson, Kaluta, Windsor-Smith, Suydam, Russell, Simonson, Chaykin, Golden,
Rogers, Starlin, Grell, Bolton, Macklin, Brunner, Byrne, Perez, Day, early Sienkiewicz, pre-1984 Giffen, Nino,
Redondo, Alcala, (the latter 3 especially in DC's mystery titles and Marvel's Conan books), Jodloman,
Corben, Williamson, Conrad, Kubert, Kirby, Ditko, Gil Kane, Infantino, Steranko, Gulacy, Hampton, early
Morrow, Glanzman, McCann, Raboy, Fine, EC-era Wood, Golden-Age Moldoff, and many other lesser-known talents.
Neal Adams in particular, as my last few posts demonstrate, has work that holds up decades later, even to modern
standards. I wish I'd had the good sense to buy 50 or 100 of their original pages 30 years ago. I could sell
them and buy several houses with them now.

 This is a photo of the same kind of coin a girlfriend gave me many years ago. It's a chocolate coin, made to be a replica of a 100 Peso gold coin of Argentina. But instead of 100 pesos, it says "100 Besos" or 100 kisses! What a fun gift, from one of the most beautiful women I ever dated.
