Matt Groenings Futurama Hellboy Mashup

Not often we get a Mash-up from the creator of the animated characters, but Matt Groening created this wonderful Futurama/Hellboy Mash-up for a friend.  It's lovely!  Gfest loves Zapp Brannigan, so fiting.

Unique and Stunning Comic Book Art and Illustrations

The only thing Gfest loves better than cool comic book inspired t-shirts is unique and beautiful comic art.

Gfest was fortunate to come across the website of Christopher Uminga an artist from New Haven, CT.  His unique style of art puts a twist on various comic book heroes we have known throughout our lifetime.  These paintings are simply superb.

As an avid collector of comic art, Gfest can honestly say, we have nothing like it in our collection.  Gfest will definitely change this error very soon.

Head on over to Christopher Uminga site or his deviantArt page to view and purchase this extraordinarily original art.  To see more of Christopher's incredible paintings click o read more.

New DC 75th Variant Cover for BATMAN #700

As most of you Gfest readers know, 2010 marks the 75th anniversary of DC Comics.

So, as part of a line-wide celebration of DC Comics’ 75th, they will be rolling out a number of special variant covers by some of the biggest names in the industry.  But these aren’t standard variants. No, these covers will take a classic image from DC’s illustrious history and present a new, re-imagined version by an all-star list of artists.

The first release is a recreation of Detective Comics #168, originally drawn by Lew Sayre Schwartz.  The cover of the issue went down in history as one of the most iconic covers of the Golden Age.
 
Hellboy creator Mike Mignola would does a beautiful recreation of Schwartz's work for DC 75th variant for Batman #700.
