CHAD McQUEEN HAS PASSED AWAY

Chad McQueen aka Dutch from the Karate Kid has passed away. He was 63 years old. He was also the son of Steve McQueen.

ALIENS: BOOK II #1 ALTERNATIVE COVERS

Dark Horse Comics' ALIENS: BOOK II artist, Den Beauvais, posts:

I finally found a pic of the 2nd version of my Aliens #1 cover. I painted 3 in totally to get to that final version that was ultimately printed. First one felt to bland...needed more. So keeping the same pose I went on to painting the second version and it felt like it needed more action. Third and final version of the same pose I added in the background fireball and the burst of steam....that worked.

I saw some others, but these are my favorite.

Dunno who generated them.

JAW-DROPPING 'ALIENS' COMIC SKETCH BY DEN BEAUVAIS

One of my all-time favorite comic books is the 2nd Dark Horse ALIENS mini-series with art by one of my all-time favorite Alien artists Den Beauvais .

Den recently posted this unused cover sketch:

A 1989 pencil sketch on illustration board 26.5"x17.5" of an alternate Aliens comic book cover I never got around to painting. As you can see I pencil fairly loosely and tighten up as I paint. I think it would have been cool, but my comic book series only needed 4 covers in total. So here's the one that got away....the cover that could have been. It's available...message me if interested. Letting it go for $800 OBO.

I will gladly accept this as a gift, should anyone want to buy it for me.
