Feb 2013 Mighty Marvel Calendar Retro Style by Dusty Abell

Dusty Abell's 1970s retro inspired calendar take on January 2013 knocked my socks off!  He delivered February 2013 a while ago, but since it starts tomorrow, why not share it here?

A terrific pin-up of Ben Grimm adorns the top half by Mike McKone.  The bottom calendar features an array of art by Neal Adams, John Byrne, Michael Golden, Art Adams, and many more.  The birthdays are also cool, with celebrations for Rich Buckler, Ron Wilson, Curt Swan (even though he worked for the Direct Competition) and Doug Moench.  Print it out and stick it on your wall!  Check out Dusty's Facebook and DeviantArt pages for more good stuff, Nuff Said!

Spider-Man, Captain Marvel and Captain America by Mike McKone

I really get a kick out of following Mike McKone on Facebook.  He has been sharing a lot of commissions with us over the past couple of years.  Here are three illustrations for the Classic Marvel fans...

Spider-Man versus Green Goblin.  I love everything about this composition, from the battle in mid-air to Spidey's crazy upside down punch at the Goblin.  Makes me nostalgic for the days when Osborne was just a regular old crazy villain instead of a megalomaniac!

Captain Marvel.  No version of the Captain ever worked as well as the classic Kree hero in his Gil Kane designed costume.  I really thought Marvel was going to bring him back to the dead in their recent announcement. 

Captain America, taking a scan of the scene before jumping into action.  Nuff Said!
