    Jerry Ordway is just AWESOME!!!

    Just felt like saying that. Check out this auction from "The Man" himself:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-Detec...CA%3AUS%3A1123

    If that's not a Kickass sketch that I don't know what is.

    And because of all their tears,
    Their eyes can't hope to see
    The beauty that surrounds them
    Isn't it a pity".

    I was in two comic book stores today and realized a lot of the artists that I love dont have collected editions or their own personal work didnt click with me or I already have it. I checked Starlin, Byrne, Layton, but I forgot to check out any of Ordway' work. Tremendous talent.

        I absolutely love his stuff. He is, IMO the best artist who ever drew Superman.

          Ordway ALMOST took a job on the Batman titles, but instead went with Adventures of Superman...and you can't say he made the wrong decision there, but I love his Batman. His Batman movie adaptation is the best movie comic EVER, IMHO.

          I've loved his stuff ever since All-Star Squadron. A master!

            His covers on Power of Shazam were a monthly treat.

              This is just an absolute BEAUTY of a sketch cover and has gone beyond what I can afford. Probably the nicest sketch cover I've ever seen:

              http://www.ebay.com/itm/311505537071...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

              That's coming right from the man himself in that auction. One can always drool

                  It's definitely up there. The likenesses are amazing and the quality is consistent throughout.

                      This is what the cover looks like from the auction:



                      The one he did before this one went for something like 1600. I could just imagine what this one might go for.
