Hey kids!
Can you spot the differences between these Joe Weider ads from the days before Photoshop?
This ad is from a 1969 Marvel book:
And this ad is from a 1971 Marvel book:
(Hint: Maybe the 3 inches that Ahnold put on his chest were the 3+ inches they took off of hers!)

More Links
I just found an archive of some very cool audio interviews at Comic Geek Speak -
check out the full list here
Here are some personal picks from the list (though I have yet to listen to all of these):
• Mark Bagley - had a damn fine run on Amazing Spiderman in the 90's
• Gene Colan - a Marvel legend
• Joe Kubert - another comic art legend. Quite possibly best known for Sgt. Rock
• Erik Larsen - for me, Erik Larsen just might be the definitive Spider-man artist. It was during his run on Amazing that I really started paying attention to comics.
• Stan Lee - The Man, himself. 'Nuff said.
• Paul Pope - see my previous post for more Paul Pope links
• Dave Sim interview #1
• Dave Sim interview #2
About a year or two ago I read Cerebus straight through in its entirety. I think you should too.
• Walt Simonson - The Mighty Thor

Translation?
I can't remember exactly when I got this piece... my best guess is that it was given to me in the second or third grade, during the Japanese celebrations of either Girl's Day or Boy's Day.
I don't really know much about origami, but I've always admired this delicate little couple.
Can anybody out there tell me what the brushwork reads?

Stuart Immonen on Reference
Nextwave artist Stuart Immonen wrote an interesting article for "Comics Should Be Good" about using reference- from the photo files of the 80s to the model making computer programs of today.
His website includes a comic that he's working on with his wife, Kathryn.
The style he uses for the comic "Moving Pictures" is reminiscent of illustrator Istvan Banyai.
