Digital Comic Museum > Welcome and Introductions
Hello everyone!
Guardian7:
I actually thought this site was GAC with a face-lift. BUT... apparently it is its own site... so here I am!
I am a big fan of reading Golden Age stories. They are a fun time in the history of comics (irregardless of how inane some of them can be - which is sometimes part of their charm).
I am (as some know) a big ole honkin fan of CENTAUR comics stuff. Having another site to discuss this stuff in is very cool (Plus I see a lot of familiar faces from GAC).
Anyhow I am a non-publishing (so far) illustrator and do artwork more for me (usually) and for kicks.
I just did some illos of revamped (not by me) characters from the Timely Era/Marvel Comics. Specifically the Liberty Legion. I figured I'd give everyone a peek at my art... maybe sometime I will post other artwork if this Forum decides to ever have a place for artwork.
So without further adieu...
Miss America (I actually tried to harken back to her original outfit with that boss collared cape of hers).
MISS AMERICA v the ICE-THING!

LIBERTY LEGION in the SAVAGE LAND!

Have you ever checked-out The Collectors Society forums? There's a whole thread (265 pages at last count) dedicated to "Centaur Comics". Mostly, it's cover scans of books members there have purchased, but there are also some interior shots from a few books, the occasional cover recreation and a neat little run of covers from French comics featuring The Masked Marvel, Fantom of The Fair, The Eye & The Clock. Here's the link: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=677111&fpart=1
I like the Liberty Legion drawing, probably because it reminds me of the cover to the second volume of "The Illustrated Comic Collectors Handbook" (from the SFCA).

Very nice work G7!
We're our own site though we do share the same PD focus and many of the same members as GAC. But you wont find post 1960 books or fanzines here like you can on GAC.

I can see what you mean Bchat (Cover of "The Illustrated Comic Collectors Handbook") Though I have never before seen the cover... Unfortunately one Jungle pic tends to look similar to another. Though I think mine has a grossly amount of detail too it that the ICCH doesn't. I was going to color mine as well and I probably would have picked similar colors (of course lots of green with sunlight spill ins).
Thanks for the compliments guys.
I wish I could do Liberty Legion stories without all the polluted garbage Marvel has fostered onto our poor Golden Age heroes that formed that particular team... Oh well... dream I suppose. Heh!
I am a member of that particular forum you mentioned Bchat Collectors Society Message Boards. I believe it is the place where I first saw a pic of Solarman and heard about his history (in the VERY short installment he appeared in within WHAM#1). Though I have not frequented it too often of late). Thanks for bringing it back to my attention.
It is wonderful to have all of these sites to have the kind of access to the Comics that are allowed.

I didn't intend to imply anything between your work and the cover to the Handbook ... and I hope you didn't think I was. With all the comics and related books & images that have been produced since Day One, some similarities are going to happen, intentional or not. Besides, how many different ways are there to draw characters walking through a jungle? I could have just as easily compared your drawing to a scene from the movie "Leech Woman", but the Handbook popped into my head first.

Well, you could always take PD heroes (like Plymo The Rubber Man, Super-Ann & Amazing-Man) and replace the Timely heroes, then go from there with your stories.
