0

Nikola Dante, swashbuckling pirate from 2000AD comicsDashing and daring, Nikolai Dante — one of 2000AD’s most popular characters, swings into action.  The magazine is the roosting place of Judge Dredd — so what is a swordsman like Nikolai doing there?

He’s keeping his fans satisfied.  The pirate is propelled by artist and co-creator Simon Fraser.

Check out Simon’s blog and get acquainted with this talented British artist — if you aren’t already a die-hard fan.

Did you think Frazetta did only barbarian art?

While on a Frank Frazetta art hunt (a Google hunt, of course) I found this gem.  I knew FF did a lot of comic art, but never heard about this one.

The scanned pages are over at Pappy’s Golden Age of Comics Blogzine — which is a real find in itself. You’ll just love clicking through the links and finding more good vintage comics.

Art school test drawingsHey Kids!

Remember “Draw Blinky?”

Remember matchbooks?

I wonder how many people actually followed through on these things.  I’m sure they must have gotten response or they wouldn’t have continued for so many years.

Anyway, just looking at these drawings brings back a bunch of memories.

But one question — why are they all drawn in left profile?  Is that a true test of an artist?

PS–I don’t think that’s how you spell “Musketeer”!
