The father of Robin and the Joker!
This was actually done for my son, who at the time attended his first comic con in London at 4 weeks old.
Through the sleepless haze of a new mum! I remember saying to Mr. Robinson it was a honour to meet him.
He was just signing things but I tried my luck and asked about sketches, he would do it as long as it was for my baby...
So I promised it would be his.
I was very tempted to ask for a Robin as every little boy should like Robin, but chose Batman... as in the end, if you feel you may have out grown the boy wonder you can always appreciate the big B!.
Plus, I am custodian of it until he is at an age where it can mean something to him.
Stan Aschemier: A prime Golden Age artist and creator of Johnny Thunder and Dr. Midnite.
Their is a fun to Stan Aschemiers art, it has a humour and is kinda whimsical something which can be seen in the golden age of comics along side some pretty violent acts too boot!
This was bought at an auction, I have no idea as to when he did this as it isn't dated and wasn't given in the auction booklet either? All I can say it is somewhere between 1911 and 1992!!!
Steve Pugh: Is a nice guy! he frequents the British con scene on a fairly regular basis.
Known for his work on Animal Man, 2000 AD, and many others from all the major players.
This is one of my Streaky pictures which from time to time I ask an artist to do, but they have to make Streaky my cat Winsor,... he has got his face and markings right, and his daft floom like tail but he neglected to notice one major Winsor characteristic; he's polydactyl... this kitty has the correct number of toes!
Still, it is a fun piece and kudos to any artist who is game when put on the spot, I have had a few who have said they wouldn't be able to do it, or wouldn't oblige??
