Photos: Indie Artists Make Superheroes Awesome

Walking around San Francisco's Alternative Press Fair (APE), it's easy to get overwhelmed by all the outstanding artwork. I knew I wanted to take some photos for my Comic Vine blog, but I had to decide how to choose what to shoot, when unique and eye-catching booths are everywhere.

So I decided to shoot some superhero art.

I won't deny it is awful to go to an indie press fair and only shoot superhero artwork, but I absolutely love how some of these artists interpreted my favorite characters. Here are some of my favorites, with links to the artists.

@AHR: Wow, these are incredibly awesome! Thanks for sharing all these wonderful pieces of art here, glad to see some Indie comic artists getting recognition on this site!

These are great!

@M.S. Feather: I bought that!!! it's above my desk now :)

Pretty good stuff. I am sure it is expensive as hell.

Sam and Max! so much Win here!

@turoksonofstone: Right? I want that print for reals.

@Daveyo520: actually pretty NOT expensive - that batman luchador poster was just $15 :D these indie cons are amazing for picking up stuff for your wall.

OMG. The Batman Beyond poster. Must have!

I saw Kaneda (that looked awesome) and Elvira there. Nice scattering of characters indeed.

Batgirl and Robin poster is super cute ^_^

I know, that poster is so freaking cool.

Great adventure to make an article of, love seeing this kind of indie work, big thanks for sharing man :)

@AHR: Wow, that is awesome. Too bad I live no where near CA anymore.

I love Spider woman and the Batgirl art but Elvira vs Storm? Thats epic!
