Captain America Cover Fest

~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hey guys,

As I work on my 5th cover for the new CAPTAIN AMERICA & BLACK WIDOW arc, I thought to put together all the previous covers (including those from my previous CAP & BUCKY OLD WOUNDS arc).
Hope you guys will pick up the new arc next month: dear friend and talented writer Cullen Bunn and I are cooking something really cool for this story :)

Cheers,
Francesco

AVENGERS: HawkEye

~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello,

Here's another splash page I did some time ago for a special project/book Marvel released along with the release of the AVENGERS movie in the theaters. Just as a heads-up: HawkEye will appear also in the new Cap America and Black Widow mini I am drawing and that I hope you will all pick up this September :)

I wanted also to let everyone know I received my Artist Proofs (see above) for the CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON poster art I did for Mondo. The amount is very limited (about 20 copies) so I am trying to figure out how to put them on sale (and find out related shipping method/costs - never shipped something this big) and make it a very limited/special poster to hang on your wall.
Tune in middle of the week for details.

Also tune in this week for more Breaking Bad minimalist posters!  :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Black Panther MWF #517 Preview & BP MWF News

~~ Click on the above and below images for the preview ~~

Hello guys,

After Jefte Palo's guest artist issue of Black Panther #516, I am back teaming up with David Liss and wrapping up the first arc of Black Panther Man Without Fear with issues 517 and 518.
Issue 517 is out today (see the exclusive preview above) and 518 has been already delivered to editorial and it will be out a month from now. These two issues are without doubts my best work on this title yet: lots of fun action and lots of revelation by David Liss that will have you say "I didn't see that coming" :)


~~ Click on the above and below images for the bigger view ~~

After 517 (out today) and 518 (out in May), Jefte Palo will be back for a 2-issue event that will see both Storm and Kraven the Hunter guesting on the title. These two issues, #519 & #520, will be both out in June.

I will be back on the book starting with issue 521 that will start a tie-in arc with the big MARVEL event FEAR ITSELF and will feature a new character I was lucky enough to be asked to design (cause it was lot of fun to design :)): AMERICAN PANTHER! (see above teaser released recently by MARVEL).
We will get to this in more details soon :) For now I hope you enjoy the teaser and - most of all - issue 517 in stores today :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Daredevil / Bullseye

~~ click on the images for larger view ~~

Hola guys,

I was inspired by this week SHADOWLAND #1 and next week Daredevil issue and decided to do this. I am not sure if somethign like this have been done before (and if it has, I apologize for repeating it), but I thought it was a cool fun way to depict the long time duel between Daredevil and Bullseye :)
I got a little dizzy while drawing it ;)

Hope you guys enjoy it :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Batman!!!

~~ click on the images for larger view ~~

Yep, I never grow tired to draw this guy :)
I have been working on some layouts for my new WS mini yesterday, while watching the final season of LOST on my DVR (I am still behind but catching up quickly ;)), and did this Batman pencil doodle (below) - on the back of one of the script pages - that I decided to ink.
Well, I did a little more than just inking those pencils, and the result is the image above.
Hope you guys enjoy it :)

Cheers,
Francesco
