Sketches

A month or so back I attended Mike Carbonaro’s NY Comicbook Marketplace, afterwards I went to the “Drink & Draw” after party where I sat around and drank while the artists I was with drew. (Apparently this is something of a regular occurrence with these guys.) Well, a couple of my friends graciously allowed me to have some of their sketches. Here they are now.

How do we know it was filmed in June of 1962? Take a quick look at two well known comic books displayed in the background of the newsstand scene!
