The Incredible Hercules



After posting about the Assault on New Olympus one-shot, I decided to check out more of The Incredible Hercules.  Today's post features scans from various issues of the series.  I'll update this post later tonight with artist information.







Fun With Windows Live Photo Gallery

Today's post is a little bit different but I think you'll find it interesting.

In a commercial for Microsoft's Windows Live Photo Gallery, a little girl easily stitches together a panoramic photo using the program.  After seeing it, I decided to download the program.  I figured that I might be able to use it to stitch together some scans I have.  Well, it didn't work.  However, I discovered that the panoramic feature has other benefits.

A lot of animated shows pan the "camera" up or down to show a character in full.  I decided to see what would happen if I took some screenshots of such a pan and had the program try to stitch them together. 

The result was that you end up with a "full-length" pic of the character.  I decided to try a few of these, which I am sharing below.

First, here's a pic of Rayne made up of screens from the first episode of Neo Angelique Abyss:

 
Next, is a pic of Namor made up of screens from the Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes episode "Imperius Rex":
 
 
Here is a pic of Throttle made up of screens from the Biker Mice From Mars episode "Stalkers":

 
And lastly, here is a pic of one of the guys of Tytania, made up of screens from the show's ending sequence:
 
 
As you can see, this feature is something I will likely exploit for future posts.  I know there are other programs that have that same feature (and may not be as memory-intensive for someone with as many images as me).  If anyone has some suggestions, leave them in the comments or shoutbox.  

Namor

Looking for characters to post, I realized that I hadn't devoted a post to Namor The Sub-Mariner by himself.  So, I decided to remedy that.

Today's post features artwork from the Namor series (where he was younger) and the most recent Sub-Mariner: The Initiative miniseries.

 
  
  
  
 
 

Johnny Storm and Namor


Today's post features a collection of screencaps from Fantastic Four:  World's Greatest Heroes.  The caps, which I made myself from the DVD set, mostly feature Johnny Storm but a few also feature Namor.  Namor appeared in a couple of episodes of the show.

If you want to see more of the shirtless Johnny Storm caps, check out this post on Shirtless Superheroes, where you'll find a ton of them.

Artist Spotlight: Michael Turner

On June 27, 2008, the comics world lost a good guy and great artist in Michael Turner.  Although he might be best known for his renditions of beautiful women in titles such as Witchblade and Fathom, Turner also did some wonderful artwork of male characters as well. 

As a tribute to him, I decided to make Michael Turner the first Western artist to get an Artist Spotlight here on HFG.  In this post, you'll find a cross-section of artwork from Turner's work for DC, Marvel, and his own Aspen Comics.  The very first scan, the variant cover of Killian's Tide, is a personal scan of my copy of this issue.
