John Romita Sr Promotional Pieces: Marvel Superheroes, Wolverine, Spider-Man Birthday
Here's a trio of promotional pieces by the great John Romita Sr...
Marvel Super-Heroes Are Here! Romita designed this for drugstores and mom and pop shops selling comics? The way the figures are depicted, and their choices (Namor, Black Bolt, Silver Surfer alongside the Avengers, Hulk, Spider-Man, etc) make me think this was done in the early 1970s. Or perhaps the late 1960s--I see that Captain Marvel is wearing the original white and green costume designed by Gene Colan.
Wolverine in action! Circa 1985, this was a pinup or a poster piece.
Spider-Man Birthday card! No coincidence, today is also my birthday. This was an illustration Romita made for Diamond Distributors on their 10th anniversary. Pretty good to get a hand drawn card from the master, eh? Nuff Said!

Thorsday: Thor vs Hulk by Steve Rude
Back when the Hulk wasn't depicted as a gargantuan, it was possible to do what Thor is doing in this pic by Steve Rude.
Pick him up and get ready to smash! Check out The Dude's Kickstarter for his 2013 sketchbook. Happy Thorsday! Nuff Said.

Silver Surfer 4 cover re-imagined by Yildiray Cinar
The most famous Silver Surfer cover of all time is issue #4, featuring the Surfer hurtling at Thor for a big fight. I found this re-take on that cover from Yildiray Cinar's DeviantArt page.
Cinar takes the same scene and twists the angles of both heroes to get a different perspective. Maybe it's just a few seconds later after the classic cover...
...so deftly drawn by Big Joh Buscema. Nuff Said!

Thor Thursday: Splash Page by George Perez and Al Vey
Here's a page to start off your Thorsday...
This splash page was from Avengers #6 in 1998, by George Perez and Al Vey. Perez was really on top of his game during this historic Avengers run! Nuff Said.

Here Comes the Hulk by Dave Stevens
Dave Stevens drew the Hulk for Marvel! A big surprise but this is what I found on Heritage Comics...
Stevens drew this illustration for a T-Shirt Design, in the same style as the original "Here Comes the Hulk" shirt from 1970. Nuff Said!

Monster Monday: Man-Thing and Swamp Thing Team-Up!
Ever wondered what would happen if DC and Marvel's muck monsters ever met? I've often wondered, especially since they were conceived and published around the same time in 1971.
Frank Cho executed this terrific illustration with Man-Thing following Swamp Thing on a trip through the outdoors. A typical Cho-sian babe holds an axe which won't be much self-defense if she's feeling fear. I have no idea what this was done for, a private collector, a magazine or publication? Please let me know.
Update: Toby wrote and let me know that this was one of the covers slated for TwoMorrows book titled Swampmen: Muck Monsters of the Comics. This publication was solicited twice and never published. See this link for more details from George Khoury.
George Perez recently did this commission piece at a con, which would make a nifty cover for such an inter-company crossover. It will never happen, but we can dream, right? Nuff Said!
