Aw Hell yeah look what I just found! What we have here is a mixed media commission piece by
Ed Hannigan. Ok so the left leg needs a bit of work and conceptually it's not especially original but I like the energy in it. It makes me wanna say ROM, FUCK YEAH! just like the Team America: World Police theme song. And speaking of all things
Bill Mantlo and Ed Hannigan this ROM easter egg comes from Spectacular Spiderman #72. The clip art is courtesy of Gary Martin Jr. "A Rom curator". I've been sitting on that one for a while now just waiting for the right time to present it.
Sept. 12th update: Speaking of artists who have worked with Bill Mantlo the legendary
Sal Buscema was just recently at the Baltimore Comic-Con

I thought the same thing when I saw it- well, actually I thought: "I'm ROM, bitches!!!" but close enough...
ReplyDeleteI like the look of it- he is a little too.. bendy? But the medium is nice. I need to make some time- see if I can still draw at all. ROM it up so you all can make fun of my lack of skills!
ROM comics on the ground? BLASPHEMOUS!
i'm having a good laugh with myself just picturing that dialogue bubble as reading more like "must have been some fucken kid".
Delete"..and what an asshole! -He left these ROM and Ka-Zar comics behind!!!"
DeleteI wasn't thinking the exactly word "bendy" but the same concept, KoT. Also, that ROM apparently worked out the left leg a bit more than the right. And his arms are a bit...is foreshortened the correct word? But it is an overall "OH YEAH!" piece. *ducks for the imminent crash of the Kool-Aid man*
ReplyDeleteI don't think a kid did that robbery. Obviously a kid would have taken the comics left on the floor. If it was a kid, it was a punk, and needs to be put down. By Robocop.
foreshortened is when something appears shortened because it is scene/drawn as something coming toward you. the art work in the blog's mast head is a good example. in the case of this Hannigan commission it's just a case of his arms being a bit too short in proportion to the rest of his body. good catch though.
DeleteAh! Thank you Professor Shlomo. :) You always know what I'm talking about even when I don't.
DeleteThis peice looks pretty bad ass i dig it .yea his knees look a little to ace of spady but other then that it looks great . Background,blast,head.,all around very good. It does have that "fuck yeah im ROM bitches " vibe to it
ReplyDeleteCool easter egg but i agree rom on the floor? Wtf.must have been an infinity fan.
Good find on this one. Hannigan is great. Notice almost all of the comics on the ground were Bill's?
ReplyDeleteJoseph, good one!
ReplyDeleteRob T, aside from the HULK and ROM i can't make out the other titles of the issues on the ground. although right next to that cop's bill on his cap it looks like there's a mag. on the shelf that reads "fag" on the title. although i'm sure that's not really what it says.
Hey bro's,
ReplyDeleteThat new ROM art is awesome! Even with the weird leg its an ass kicking piece! Props to the artist!
That panel is frigging hilarious man. I wish I could read whats on the rack,..it really does look like it says "fag" on those covers! Wait,..maybe it says "fab",..it was the 80's right?...
Shlomo, I think you are like the Black Hole of Rom stuff. Everything seems to gravitate to you. It still amazes me that with the amount of fan produced stuff that we see, that Marvel doesn't pick up on it and realize there is a market for ROM.
ReplyDeletethanks Brian, you'll see even more of what ROM related stuff has gravitated toward me in recent days this weekend. and as far as all things "amazing" with Marvel what they did recently with the remnants of the ROM series in Infinity#1 was even more "amazing". hickamn and the rest of Marvel are such a bunch of assholes these days.
DeleteThis I like - especially the face. It's kinda like a 'WWWWHHHHYYYYYY' Hollywood scene about why is he cancelled.
ReplyDeleteAny burglar who leaves Ka-Zar behind is no burglar at all.
ya know I only had one Kazar issue back in the day but I kinda liked it I wish I had picked up some more. i hardly ever come across Kazar issues in back issue discount bins unfortunately but i'll have to keep my eyes open for em from now on.
