I’m sorry. Did we just post that Bob Sharen - legendary comic book colorist for Marvel Comics from 1978 to 2001 is coming to East Side Mags? Really?
Yeah we did! And here’s the details:
From 1978-2001, Bob was a colorist for #Marvel Comics. During that time he worked on almost every Marvel title at one time or another, mostly on long runs of GI Joe, Alien Legion, and the various Spider-Man titles. His credits include nearly 1,800 issues in those years. A longer time and more credits than ANY other artist, including over 160 issues of #The Amazing Spider-Man, 99 issues of #Alpha Flight, Iron Man from 1979-1989, #Captain America from 1982-1989 and over 60 issues of #GIJoe from 1982-1994.
Bob will be here from 1pm-5pm. He’ll have hand-colored pinup shots of comic characters (size 8.5 x 11) along with 11 x 17 prints of commissions he’s done previously. He’s also happy to take commissions from customers! East Side Mags will be storming our inventory to pull as many comics as we can that Bob has worked on to make available for purchase so Bob can sign them. He charges a measly $2 per signature!
So don’t miss this rare event! Bob typically will do conventions but almost NEVER does in-store signings. Makes us feel real special! :)
See you all there!
