For the last couple of years I've had to institute a "lottery" style
system at conventions to manage the large number of fans who want to
get a sketch... The 10 winners then
pay the price for the sketch (which is now $100) and I get those
sketches done during the course of the convention day.

11" x 17" reimagining of the cover to Avengers # 141
- All art with no logoes, numbers, etc.
- Same costumes for all characters with the exception that Iron Man has no "nose"
Coincidentally, the first issue of THE AVENGERS I bought new off the stands, back in 1975. Really interesting looking at this issue. The potential George had is there, albeit somewhat buried under Colleta's inks -- but what's most enlightening is to see just how far George went. Starting out, he was almost instantly a fan favorite, yet he was not content to rest on his laurels (as we have seen with so many artists who came along since). He kept working, kept pushing, and earned himself a place as not only a fan fave, but one of the best in the biz. Sadly, not always the same thing!

Aspiring comic creators seek advice at Comic Con

Hundreds of fans piled into a conference hall to hoot and holler for the
stars of TV shows like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “The Walking
Dead” today at New Orleans Comic Con. Down the hall, in a smaller,
quieter meeting space, two-dozen eager fans gathered to pick the brains
of a different breed of celebrity: the comic book creator.
Most
fans roaming the halls of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center this
weekend wouldn’t recognize Superman artists George Perez and Jesus
Merino, or Thomas Yeates, who has drawn Tarzan and Zorro comics, or
Tyler Kirkham, whose work includes Spider-Man and X-Men books. But to
the aspiring artists and writers attending their Q&A sessions, these
men are Comic Con royalty.
In 2011, DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 launched some of the most
discussed comic books in recent memory – and in 2012, those talked about
issues will be collected into some of the most anticipated books of the
year. We shared the initial release plans for the collections back in
November, but here’s an updated look at what 2012 will bring.

Desperado and IDW are proud to present a retrospective
volume devoted to the entire career of one of today's most popular
artists - George Perez! This book offers readers and fans a chance to
witness his immense and sensational career from his early days at Marvel
to his glory days at DC where he co-created the New Teen Titans, which
rivaled the X-Men in popularity at the time, and revitalized Wonder
Woman as both writer and artist. This volume covers his return to the
Avengers, as well as his resurrgence at CrossGen and his own independent
projects. This tome also offers glimpses of previously
never-before-seen material from his files and sketchbooks, private
commissioned work, as well as beautifully reproduced images of his
personal favorites with insights into his life and creative process.
I follow his line from the time of the Avengers and Black Widow, it was
his work in Crisis on Infinite Earths that inspired me to create the zine
Monsters Factory.
Many new comics sell out just after they're released. Sometimes an issue is so popular that the publisher will go back to press for a new printing, or offer a variant cover edition. With our "New Printings & Variant Editions" section, PREVIEWSworld offers an updated checklist to keep track of new printings and variant editions, and when they are expected to arrive in your local comic shops.

W♥M is five years old today. I don't really have anything special lined up.
I thought I'd talk about music purchasing in general. I don't normally
go out a lot to music store, but I was out on Chinese New Year and ended
up at a music store (I think it was called Disc Land) and I bought a
pretty rare Catatonia CD compilation called Catatonia 1993/1994: The Crai EPs - For Tinkerbell & Hooked.
Although Catatonia enjoyed success in the UK, they never quite made it
in the US, so you had to import most of their early records. So I
bought the EP and I thought to myself: someone in Minnesota must have
loved Catatonia to have imported the CD and then sold it back to this
record store.
Anyway, this 1999 compilation collects Catatonia's first two EPs, "For
Tinkerbell" and "Hooked", although only three tracks of "Hooked" were
used on the compilation due to the limitation of the CD format.
Track listing:
"For Tinkerbell"
"New Mercurial Heights"
"Dimbran"
"Sweet Catatonia"
"Gyda Gwen" (Welsh version of "New Mercurial Heights")
