Check this out. Sent him an e-mail asking for posters but I think I confused him. Bob Layton wrote to me. ME! BOB LAYTON!!

Frank,
Sorry, I certainly mean no disrespect, but I'm confused about what you're asking me for.
The commissioned art displayed on my website are one-of-a-kind pieces purchased by individual collectors. I have no posters for sale--nor do I have the license from Marvel to produce such.
If you're looking for posters, I would recommend that you ask your local comic shop retailer if he can locate past Iron Man items.
I apologize for not being very helpful.
However, I do appreciate your kind and flattering comments.
Sincerely,
Bob Layton

Subject: A question from a long-time fan.
Good day Sir,
I just want to first mention how privileged I have been to have enjoyed your work over the years. Iron Man has long been the character I've most identified with, since I first discovered him almost 30 years ago. In particular, your first run on the series, was and remains the definitive Iron Man in my mind. In terms of personal impact, you are among a small select group of Marvel and DC artists, including John Byrne and George Perez, that defined for me the limits of comic book art.
My question is this. I would very much like to inquire as to the possibility of obtaining color poster-quality copies of the original commissions illustrated on this site. The size would preferably be 24" x 36". I am most interested in getting the one of the image included as an attachment or any of the other variations on this theme.
Sincerely,

Even getting brushed off as a looney by Mr. Layton
