The Art of Howard Bender

Howard Bender is a fantastic artist that’s has worked for Marvel, DC, Archie, and many other publishers. He’s penciled Superman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, and even that random Tandy Computer Radio Shack giveaway comic. He’s worked on so many titles from Action Comics to Ghostbusters to Archie. It’s safe to say that his works are in your collection.

He was a customer at my shop for ages and over that time we built a nice relationship. I’m lucky to call Howard a friend although we don’t see each other much since he moved back to the Pittsburgh area. Regardless I know when I see him again we will talk shop and Comics and I’ll ask him why he isn’t drawing professionally anymore and he will shrug me off. Just like it’s happened many times before.

Before he left he did this piece for me which will finally get it’s due this year when I hang it on my wall in my new house. He knew I loved Spider-Man...particularly ASM and I asked him for a mock old school cover featuring Mysterio (my favorite villain). I’m proud to say he did this for me which I absolutely love. Thx Howard.
