Showcasing art from some of my favourite artists, and those that have attracted my attention, in the field of visual arts, including vintage; pulp; pop culture; books and comics; concert posters; fantastical and imaginative realism; classical; contemporary; new contemporary; pop surrealism; conceptual and illustration.
In "Batman & Superman Magazine" #3 there's preview of Mask of the Phantasm that includes early sketches by artist Todd Winter of what would become the movie poster.
One of those sketches would go on to become the cover of the novelization.
There are some INCREDIBLE paintings included in that magazine. These are always credited to Kevin Altieri online, but I don't think that's the case.
For one thing, it says "Painting by Todd Winter" right there on the pages. The "A" signature seems to be out of place, but it's also on the novel cover. The credits on the table-of-contents reads:
Cover: pencil art: KEVIN ALTIERI; painting: JOHN CALMETTE; Phantasm cover inset: JOHN CALMETTE; Batman cover inset: TODD WINTER; Atom cover inset: pencils: MIKE PAROBECK; painting JOHN CALMETTE
Magazine credits are so messy. It's tiny and sideways on the page. It credits an Atom cover inset that isn't in Magazine. The Altieri/Calmette credit is for the cover which Altieri did pencils for and Calmette did the painting. They did multiple together.
This has all be an excuse for me to scan a bunch of art. As a bonus, here's a detail shot of the novel cover.
