Getting My Portrait Drawn By Herb Trimpe

by Bryan Reesman on Oct.22, 2009, under Comicopia, Out & About

One of my favorite comic book artists growing up and the greatest artist ever to draw The Incredible Hulk, Herb Trimpe has always had a signature style that dazzled me. I recently interviewed Trimpe for ADD, but beyond that the one thing I really wanted was to have my likeness sketched by him. I did not have time while I was attending New York Comic Con this past February because I was busy on assignment. So when the Big Apple Comic Con rolled into town last weekend, I made sure I attended and got what I craved. Trimpe admitted that he had not sketched someone on the spot in awhile, so I felt honored that he took a shot at it. Both he and I were pleased with the result! It’s the closest I’ll get to looking like a real superhero.

Tres dramatique, eh? (Sketch by Herb Trimpe.)
