SDCC 2026 — Once More Unto The Breach…

July 29, 2026 Greg Goldstein Original Art and The Artists

July 22-July 26, 2026

Pro tip: If you want a few decent photos before falling into the inevitable pattern of no sleep and endless hoofing across concrete floors, take them before the convention actually begins.

And yes, the first one—with Bill Cox and Steve Kriozere—is a bit of a cheat. It’s from the Sunday before the show, at a “pre-show” convention in Los Angeles.

But the more “resort-style” photo—with Dirk Wood and Tim Lenaghan—was taken at the Marriott, just moments before the madness began next door at the San Diego Convention Center.

If the entire convention had actually been like that, I would have come home much less tired, with a nice tan—and a few more dollars in my checkbook.

As always, much more to come.

L-R: With Pete Koch, Art Adams, Jane Mitchell (& Other-Worldly Friend), Scott Eder, Ash Wood, Eric Powell, Whilce Portacio and Scott Dunbier.

Arthur Adams — Superman Redux

July 16, 2025 Greg Goldstein Original Art and The Artists

Action Comics Annual #1, 1987

Let’s say you have a terrific Superman original art page from the equally terrific Arthur Adams…

And let’s say someone else also thinks it’s a terrific page — and makes you a fair offer for it…

So, you say to yourself: “Well, I’ll sell it, and get another terrific Adams Superman page down the line…”

But somehow, you actually don’t.

And then, one fine day (actually, a rainy one — but I digress), years later, you’re flipping through another collector’s portfolio, and you stumble on… the same page you had owned.

Offered at a much higher price than you received for it, naturally. Enough time has elapsed.

And you stare at it, and mutter to yourself: “Why did I sell this?”

So… you swallow your pride, and after some minor haggling, you purchase the page.

Congratulations! You’ve just discovered yet another inventive way to shred money — to get right back to where you started.

Sigh.

Great page, though.

Art Adams — A Classic, Revisited

January 1, 2022 Greg Goldstein Original Art and The Artists

Avengers # 24.Now, February 2014, Variant Cover

Art Adams pays homage to Neal Adams with this terrific Avengers variant cover from 2014.

Neal’s original Avengers (#92) cover is from 1971, and remains one of my personal favorites. In addition to loving the dramatic art and striking colors, I have a fond memory of guessing the cover’s story gimmick before I actually read the comic.

(Spoiler alert: Thor, Cap and Iron Man are actually skrulls, which we don’t find out until the next issue. Another spoiler: Writer Roy Thomas shortcuts some of the backstory of how that came to pass — blink and you might miss it. Before it’s all over though, the Avengers will find themselves in the middle of the Kree-Skrull war. But, as always, we digress.)

Art’s modern version swaps out X-Men for Avengers, and seamlessly adds additional characters as well.

2021-2022 is the 50th Anniversary of the Kree–Skrull war, so… Happy Anniversary, and Happy New Year!
