The “Macho Man” Randy Savage Plus Prop Challenge
October 15th, 2012 by Gavok | Tags: art, nycc, randy savageIt’s become a recent tradition for me to do the Plus Prop challenge every time I make a visit to New York Comic Con. First time it was with Venom and that was fun. Then I used Juggernaut and that worked out well too. This year I wasn’t sure who to use. With so many choices and some reader support, I settled on using the late, great Randall Poffo, known by many names: Bonesaw McGraw, Rasslor, Leonard Ghostal and most famously, “Macho Man” Randy Savage.
And so, I spent much of Comic Con’s four days badgering various comic artists for commissions at Artists’ Alley. The challenge is to draw Randy Savage plus another object. Any object. What that object is is up to the artist and not me. This one ended up being a ton of fun and most of the artists were incredibly into it. Before he even drew anything, Chris Giarrusso and I spent like a half hour talking about how great Savage’s promos were. So sit back and snap into the fruits of their labor.
YEAH! DIG IT!

Many, many thanks to the artists and that awesome Macho King cosplayer. You made the weekend an absolute blast.
‘objects’ apparently includes ‘half naked women.’ huh.

I’ve been juggling themes for a while now . . . like casting characters from a specific show in Geoff Johns’ emotional spectrum. So far, I’ve gotten red, orange and yellow.
