Mike Allred Hourman page
Attended the 2009 Chicago Comicon in August and came back with a few pieces. Overall it didn’t seem to be an art buyers market. I did get to meet Mike Allred who wasn’t doing sketches but did have a bunch of art for sale. He had a bunch of pages from the Hourman story in his Solo book but this piece jumped out at me. I forgot to ask him the backstory but it’s the same pose as the cover and back cover for the Solo book so I’m guessing it was one DC didn’t want to use.

Hey, I think this came about as the Batman image he did got nixed, so Mike drew up various other DC characters doing the Batusi instead. Great piece!!!

uhhhh…does no one else notice that his right hand has a total of 6 fingers. the 2 fingers that are up are the index and the ring fingers but the remaining fingers that are not sticking out show 3 instead of 2. my eye was drawn to that right away, lol.
