Heroes...and Villians









Here's a sampling of some of the superhero and supervillian drawings that have made their way into our various lunchtime sketchbooks over the last couple of years. The Batman at top was first showcased in it's final colored form last year on Rob's Pencil Box Zoo blog; it's nice to to see it here in all it's black and white glory. The rest of the rundown: Spidey was penciled by Carlos and inked by Justin as was the Iron man pic. Rob contributes solo pencils with a nice Wonder Woman head sketch and Carlos and Justin provide a Penguin and Joker duet, respectively. Rob chimes in again with a super-sweet straight-jacketed Joker. Finally, two pieces that predate the Lunch Time Special, but were in the same sketchbook as a bunch of these - Rob's beefed up take on Underdog and a surprise guest! Good 'ol JESSE HERNANDEZ makes a welcome and unexpected venture into blogging territory with his very cool 2004 version of Hellboy!

Glenn! Thanks on behalf of the fabulous artists that are populating this site!! Yeh, amazing to see something by Jess, isn't it...even if it is almost four years old!!!

As for Rob sitting on the Joker...oww! I must confess to hiding him in my sketchbook this last year and a half...waiting for just the opportune moment to spring him on an unsuspecting populace!

More to come!
