All My "Avengers Circle" Commissions

Back in 2023, I drew a commission of Marvel's 1960’s heroes taking the place of the MCU’s team in the first Avengers movie.

Based on this memorable scene... 

People seemed to enjoy my rendition and soon I was commissioned to draw a Justice League of America version!

Then, a different person wanted one of their favorite 1990's Avengers team.

Soon, I received a request to create the scene using humor mascots from various companies.

After a while, a patron asked for a version using various monster-hosts from a variety of horror comics/magazines.

Okay, that's probably enough of riffing on the Avengers movie. Wait! There's more! I was asked to draw a version using Marvel characters from the cheesy TV shows in the 70's and 80's. (Black Widow is from a show that was never made. Angela Bowie, David Bowie's then-wife, bought the rights to a Daredevil TV series. Promotional still photos were taken, but an actual pilot was never filmed.)

Have you ever heard of the "Great Lake Avengers"? Fortunately, I had. Someone asked for a commission of them! Happy to do it.

And last, but not inferior, is this team-- The Inferior Five!

And that's a wrap! (At least for now--)

I'm waiting for the more esoteric groups to show up in this pose, such as
• All 6 members of the Three Stooges
• Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem
• The cast of Are You Being Served?

These are fantastic! I immediately started imagining one with the comic book Tick and Arthur and some of the other original characters.

That would be a fun one!

From left to right, it's Little Annie Fanny, Sylvester P. Smythe, Alfred E. Neuman, unknown, Forbush Man, Howard the Duck. I can't discover the unknown mascot.

If you're still doing these, you could do hero teams from other countries (Alpha Flight, Big Hero Six)...
