I thought it might be cool to make this side by side comparison of the original Alpha Flight #66 and the Bill Mantlo fan made one.

No this isn't a new Marvel Zombies concept although that would be kinda cool. I found this on a site that features various androids and cyborgs in different stages of damage or destruction. Unfortunately I don't know who this artist is and I can't tell you any more about this so if you want to learn more you outta take a look here:

This acrylic painting by Rob Waters was originally featured on Lee Seitz's blog earlier this year. But although this was virtually unknown Rom fan art at the time I was the only one who bothered to leave a comment under that posting. This is some nice art work don't tell me I was the only one who liked it? So I'm reposting it here to give it some much more deserved exposure.

From Jeffrey Lewis
"The first comic book that Jeffrey fell in love with was Rom # 7, back in 1979... As Jeff credits
Rom with initially inspiring his love of comic books and of drawing,
Jeff instituted a personal tradition in 1994 that every sketchbook he
keeps must begin with a drawing of him and Rom together." To see the rest of his eighteen sketches:

ReplyDeleteTracked down the deconstructed ROM artist name on that site: Marc Guerrero.

I really appreciate that you're sharing links when you post found stuff, Dave. Keep up the good work and I'll keep on curating.
The Jeffrey Lewis portfolio carved quite a special niche in my collection...!
Zhaanman, yep i'm glad i have a better image of it now instead of a small blurry one in a photo on the wall of Bill Mantlo's hospital room.
ReplyDeleteGary Martin Jr., you outta call your collection "The Hall of Science".
hey guys what about the Water's piece? opinions? or had you all seen it before?
That Waters pic is exactly how I picture ROM! It has a Steve Rude feel to it. Hopefully this guy has drawn allot more things!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Dan. I want that one for my wall. The colors just blend perfectly.
ReplyDeleteaccording to Lee this one comes from a 2007 eBay sale. The seller stated it was colored acrylic on heavy paper measuring 16" x 14". it was sold for a measly $49.99!
Deletei've found more undiscovered Rom fan art stay tuned.
Dang. Is that all? I would have paid that. And gladly!!
DeleteSomething tells me Random we would've got into a bidding war and made it go a lot higher lol or shared custody ;)
ReplyDelete"shared custody" that's a good one mate! even more cool stuff just came my way which i'll be posting later this weekend. it's Rom related of course but it's also for anybody who in general loves sci-fi and Marvel collectables from the 80s.
DeleteHeh. I can see it now guys, mailing the piece around the world. We'd have to keep the box with all the postage.
