Dom Mauri started his career at 16 years old. He is known primarily for his cartoon pieces and pop art, which has been displayed in many museums and art galleries

When I first saw Doom working at his booth, I was not sure his style would work on the first day cover. All of his images were dark using only black, with a loose style that looked great on large pieces. I took a chance, and I was not disappointed

Richard Comely - Captain Canuck

 

Captain Canuck by Richard Comely - Space Discovery FDC

2022-07-09 Garden State Comic Fest, Morristown, NJ

I have not been to a comic show/con since NYCC last October. When I read that Richard Comely, creator of Captain Canuck was going to be at the show, I knew I was going to go and obtain an autograph

Captain Canuck had been honored on a Canadian stamp in 2002, along with Superman, Nelvana, Johnny Canuck and Fleur deLys. When I handed Mr Comely the cover for his signature he mentioned that there was too little space to draw a proper image. Although I did not come to the show planning on obtaining a sketch, I did bring a few covers with me. We choose the Space Discoveries FDC from 1998, as the stamp had a science fiction feel to it

Richard Comely, is a Canadian comic book creator, artist, penciller, inker, letterer, publisher, editor.....

He created and wrote the Captain Canuck comic book series in 1975. In 2012 Comely entered into a licensing agreement for Chapterhouse Comics to produce animation, merchandise and a continuing comic book series

Captain Canuck's first appearance, 1975 was published by Comely Comix, Winnipeg, Manitoba. The story follows Tom Evans, a Canadian secret agent who gained superhuman strength from contact with extraterrestrials

Iron Man 2007 FDC postmarked with a Captain Canuck stamp, signed by Richard Comely

It was a pleasure to meet Mr Comely and had a nice conversation with him and his table mate - Fadi Hakim. I always enjoy going to a convention, where the artists are accessible and friendly to work with

 Konni Mackenzie by S. Preston

It's been a while since I have had the chance to post a new sketch. 

I was the fortune to attend NY Comic Con again. This year I came across the booth of S. Preston, a fantastic artist who creates minimalist stadium art and ballpark princesses. He was kind enough to draw his new original character that he hopes will help promote baseball to the girls who go to the game with their dads.

I am sure she will be affectionally called Konni Mac!

Check out his work, my wife loved this and that speaks volumes, Thanks Preston
