Yoew- it's the size of a couch. I'll have to wait until I get a bigger apartment.<BR/><BR/>Looks amazing though.<BR/><BR/>-barryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-79089291370883002342008-09-03T07:22:00.000-07:002008-09-03T07:22:00.000-07:00Back to work, check out Temple of the Seven Golden...Back to work, check out Temple of the Seven Golden Camels,and what's this? Scorchy Smith! A Noel Sickles book.<BR/><BR/>Picked it up at lunch time, lucky me, the store was having a 20% off sale. <BR/><BR/>Years ago a friend gave me a complete set of photocopies of a Scorchy story that was collected in book form. Even from those less than stellar copies I gleaned the simple beauty of Mr. Sickles work.<BR/><BR/>Another illuminating post Mark.<BR/><BR/>KraigerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-76411537851868189952008-09-01T14:08:00.000-07:002008-09-01T14:08:00.000-07:00These blogs are so great to go to.

I will definitely be checking that book out! <BR/><BR/>Good post btw, the contrast of detail and compostion are handled masterfully in these.Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11059365821734590234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-31418018102417694202008-08-31T17:01:00.000-07:002008-08-31T17:01:00.000-07:00Bravo, Mark!I bought the Sickles book the day it w...Bravo, Mark!<BR/><BR/>I bought the Sickles book the day it was released. It is a joy and incredibly inspiring! It's a crime how little Sickles is known considering his great influence on both comic books and storyboard illustration (two artforms that he never even touched.)<BR/><BR/>I came across Sickles about 7 years ago as I started getting into Alex Toth. I have to thank Leif Peng for sharing his Sickles collection in the meantime as Sickles' stuff is so hard to find. Finally justice is done!Kevin Deitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904306758480039186noreply@blogger.com
