Today's Fan Article contribution comes from Andrew Cosson and is his tribute to comicbook legend, Bill Mantlo.
Sadly Mr. Mantlo - one of Marvel's most influential modern writers - was injured in a hit and run incident some years ago and was left with brain damage that resulted in him requiring constant care and attention. Oregon-based store Floating World Comics host regular fund-raising drives for Mr. Mantlo, where professional and amateur artists are invited to donate works for their auctions - such as this one - based around Rom The Spaceknight, the toy-turned-comicbook character Mantlo was instrumental in translating to the printed page (as he did with Marvel's other toy-based property, The Micronauts.)
As well as including the Spaceknight also features characters from the Micronauts series, plus - from ''mainstream'' Marvel - The Hulk and Alpha Flight's Box and Snowbird.
after having taken a look at this posting your last email to me makes a bit more sense iok. what is commonly referred to as fan art you call a fan article.
