Adam Hughes Convention Selling Plans

From Allison Sohn on the Hughes-Fan Yahoo Group, regarding what prints Adam Hughes will have for sale at what conventions:

Chun Li, I believe I stated earlier, will be at San
Diego. Part of Adam's agreement with Udon is that he
can do prints for San Diego, but no sooner. San Diego
marks the release of the book that the Chun Li art is
featured in.

The Rocketeer, as previously stated, is also for San
Diego. That was as close to a "home town show" for
Dave Stevens as it got. Also, as it will be a
charitable fund raiser, it makes sense to bring it to
the show with the highest attendance.

I have no idea what the "ASWW teaser" is... and I'm
the one making the prints. Anyone care to clue me in?

I bring this to the blog for the rumor of their being an All Star Wonder Woman teaser print...and Ms. Sohn's shooting it down by saying she hasn't heard a thing about it. So...unless DC is printing up some giveaways of an All Star Wonder Woman drawing, it looks like anyone buying into that rumor will be disappointed. Shame...it might have indicated that things were closer to being published.

I brought more than the teaser image discussion so that I could plug the charity sale of Adam's Rocketeer prints. Make sure to pick some up, folks.

Adam Hughes Snubbed By DC Editorial?

From the Adam Hughes fan e-mail list, Allison Sohn (artist and significant other of Adam) relayed the following when asked what Adam would be doing for covers after the Catwoman cancellation:

Adam was told back at San Diego Comic Con, in July of 2007 that Catwoman was coming to an end. At that time, DC offered Adam a new book to be cover artist on. It was to be a new title to DC, and Adam would get to be cover artist from issue one. However, within a couple of months, the powers that be at DC Comics turned around and gave that same job to another up and coming artist, without giving Adam the courtesy of letting him know he was off the title. Instead, we found out from the replacement artist. Since then DC has offered Adam several other titles to do covers on, which Adam has declined. Adam and I both agree it is in his best interest to focus on completing All Star Wonder Woman.

That's a shite way to treat the talent.

Benes Draws Silicone Wonder Woman

Ed Benes gets bagged on a lot lately, for all of his characters looking the same, questionable story-telling, and his propensity for drawing ass and boob shots in so many panels.

It is that last element that we highlight today.


OK...the necessary element might be hard to see at this level of detail. But I think you can see where I'm honing in on here. Right in the foreground...

Either she's got some implants to make her right breast stand up that high or her breasts are so abnormally huge that, even when they settle in due to gravity, they still protrude that much.

Oh yeah...and he still manages to position her for some sort of ass shot. Kudos, Benes...you're a true genius of art...

Mind you, he puts Black Canary in approximately the same position, with only the coloring saving her from being just as exploited.



Hawkgirl has her arm mostly blocking her breasts and her butt isn't quite turned enough to be in play...guess he realized he couldn't play 'em all for titillation. But hey...what's Vixen doing over there? Well, it looks like she's basking in the afterglow...



Most of the men appear to be in more respectful positions. Though, you can debate that with Black Lightning and have to concede a risque pose with John Stewart...
