more great stuff

Wow Roy, this has put a huge smile on my face.  Totally Silver Age goodness.  Wonderful idea and nicely done too.  Bravo!

[Roygbiv666]

Not one of mine (but I'm working on it), and not really Golden Age, but if you like the variety of independent publishers from the 80s you might like this:

pretty amazing in scope.

It's an amazing collection of characters though I wouldn't call them strictly independents (which I read as from the b&w independent publishers era started by TMNT, etc as well as AC, Comico, First Comics, Kitchen Sink, Pacific and so on.).  There's several DC and Marvel products there that aren't part of their superhero universe which I guess qualifies them.  There are toys and Villain & Vigilantes characters even which is totally cool.  The 80s was when I did my heaviest buying so this is a perfect look back for me.

Thanks for sharing this Roy!

A new one featuring one golden ager, one bronze age Canadian, a cybernetic gorilla, and the Toronto skyline:

 Nice depth of field in that piece. I also like your take on Commander Steel.

 The Iron Skull started wearing a minimalist costume toward the end of his run in "Amazing Man" which featured what looked like a skull and crossbones tattoo on his chest.

Oh yeah, a new one:

Very nice!  Schomberg would approve.

[Roygbiv666]

I'd hope so! I think he did most of these types, certainly the examples I sent Mike Machlan, the artist - he does a lot of AC Comics covers. I was thinking about the composition - it probably follows the rule of thirds, but the way comics would have been arranged on the news stands, it makes sense to have the hero coming in from upper left.

Very nice!  Schomberg would approve.

Oh yeah, a new one:

Awesomesauce! 

I love the fact that you went with the Clock.

BCing you

One other point... your artist really fixed up the problem of dead space that appears in the original cover.  The layout is much tighter, and more dynamic than the original.

I had him eliminate the crosses as:
a) I'm not a Christian, and
b) Nelvana is the daughter of an Inuit deity.

And I wanted the foreground figures to be bigger, so he made it work.
