DC's Power Girl and Star Wars' Leia are the main characters in my art collection, but I do try to grab up art featuring other characters from time to time. One group of characters I like to keep an eye out for is the four heroes my kids are named after, Thing, Hulk, Wolverine, and Nightcrawler.
This sketch card from Rittenhouse's Marvel Bronze Age set has two of the four characters on it, and they are fighting something out, just like my Ben and Bruce do all the time. The two characters have a long-standing rivalry in the comics, and their battles are usually pretty fun due to the strength they each possess. The artist on this sketch card is Rich Woodall, who has a Facebook page and an online shop along with various other online presences. I haven't interacted with him directly, as this sketch was an eBay purchase. It's a pretty neat piece of art, and I would definitely be interested in picking up more of his work some day.
What a great looking card! Also, I had know idea you named your children after super heroes. That's pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty nice sketch.
DeleteMy wife and I went back and forth a lot on what to name the kids. Once we settled on the first superhero name, the rest came pretty naturally. So far they all really like their names.
That's some nice art. Marvel Two-in-One with the Thing is one of my all-time favorite comic titles.
ReplyDeleteI also am a fan of that title. Thing is just a great character.
