Let There Be Art!

I've been sitting on these for over a month. Superhero enthusiast and friend of the ArrowCave Russell Burbage emailed me these jpeg's as a Birthday present and I hadn't gotten around to posting them until now. Thanks again, Russell!!

I have an overwhelming fondness for the DC Style Guide art of Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez. I attribute it to a combination of his beautiful, clean-cut depictions of my favorite heroes and my nostalgic fondness for theKenner SuperPowers collection (which I felt I was too old to buy at the time) .









But wait! As an extra bonus, Russell aslo sent me this Super Friends piece by my all-time favorite Lois Lane artist Kurt Schaffenberger!

It's nice to see G.A. drawn by "the Schaff" even if he is tiny and drowned out by his peers.

But we're not done yet. Nosiree! Russel even through in a scan of the Super Jr.'s. So cute they're creepy!


It certainly made my Birthday a little brighter. Thanks.

Pieces From Another Fan's Arrow Cave...

SuperFan and SHAFT member Russell Burbage has taken my initial request for pictures and scans of G.A.-related merchandise to heart. In the last few days Russell has sent me photos of all kinds of goodies. Since I'd like to save some of it for a rainy day, I've elected to post only a few of them today.

From the 1976 DC Super Heroes Calendar, this fantastic pin-up of Green Lantern and Green Arrow done by original GL/GA artist Neal Adams:



Green Arrow was also popular enough to make the July spread as well:



And if that wasn't enough fantastic Neal Adams Green Arrow for you, Russell also sent in a photo of this slightly mysterious DC Super Heroes ruler:



Yep, right there at the ten-inch mark it's my favorite spokesman again- the disembodied, stock-art head of Green Arrow.



Thanks a bunch, Russell and welcome to SHAFT.

Trick Arrow Tuesday!

From Action Comics #449 (July, 1975) comes this wonderful, two-page spread highlighting some of Green Arrow's more entertaining trick arrows. It also features some narration by one of my favorite spokesmen: the disembodied, stock-art head of Green Arrow.
