Splishes and Splashes: recent OA pickups

I recently purchased these splash pages and pinup...

Captain Britain & MI-13 12 page 1
(Baron Blood introduces Dracula's Moon castle)

Batman: Brave and the Bold #8 page 3
(Batman swoops down from his retro plane to battle a Yeti)

Outsiders #21 page 2
(The Bat-plane hovers above a still smoldering Arkham Asylum)

A couple of neat points of interest on this page... Jay used his finger prints to create the smoky effect above the ruins (an effect that is almost completely obscured on the printed comic page by the dark colors used). Also the plane used on this page didn't appear in the printed comic. Instead a patch was used (a stealth looking plane). Personally I like this OA page much better than the final printed page.

Fathom: Aspen pinup
(A stunning piece of art and the closest I'll ever get to a Jim Lee original)

I bought this from inker Oliver Nome who said... "just an inked version I did over a copy of Jim's pencils. I work with Jim @ Wildstorm and saw the pencils of this piece which was published in the "Michael Turner" tribute book, and just had the urge to ink it. It was my first time inking something of Jim's, it was challenging and very rewarding. I think it came out great and Jim approved"

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
