A.L. Sirois - Comics

A small sample of my comic art. The Wood pages, with my backgrounds, are from All Star Comics #59, back in 1975. I've included both the printed page and the original art. Note my name on the signage. We used to do stuff like that just for fun.

A word of explanation about the inclusion of the panel from Superman vs. Muhammad Ali: Yes, I worked on this book. Though I came late to the project, I did around 12 pages of backgrounds. Dick Giordano, a friend of Frank McLaughlin, for whom I was working at the time, hired me to finish some backgrounds. Neal Adams penciled the book on plate-finish board: smooth, slick, easy to smudge. I had to be very careful, and I was -- I even rendered some of the background art using a dry-brush approach, in order to preserve his delicate pencil technique. The S insignia on that floating red TV camera is my signature initial, which appears on my cartoon art.
