Each week we gather up the coolest comic book art you won't see in comics. The reason you won't see it in comics is because artists often do sketches and commissions when not drawing for the books they're working on. They are simply too great to go unnoticed.

An artist that often makes an appearance here is Phil Noto. His style is something else and it's always a treat when he updates his Tumblr.. Being a big Star Wars fan myself, I was pleased to see his take on the classic comics from Marvel.

== TEASER ==

Noto is also an expert at drawing characters in seemingly innocent poses. Yet when you look at them, their eyes speak volumes. Check out his Jean Grey circa 1977.

No Caption Provided

Are you noticing a little theme here with Noto's art? This next one might not be comic book related but I also have fond memories of the old Atari 2600. But it doesn't look like the guy in this image is too happy with his girlfriend playing with his joystick.

Cliff Chiang might have had a break on this month's issue of WONDER WOMAN but he updated his Tumblr with a couple sketches. The first is a private commission of Magik as well as an image of Mario and Princess Peach.

Dark Horse recently put out a Lobster Johnson comic. Hopefully you had a chance to pick it up. Joel Gomez must have and posted this sketch on his Tumblr.

Did you catch Chris Samnee's art on this week's issue of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN? Check out these sketches of Batman and Black Widow he posted on his webpage.

Over at Comic Twart, the theme this week was SPACE. You can see Samnee's version of the Spirit in space.

Francesco Francavilla digs making mock posters. Hopefully you've heard of the old TV show Space: 1999.

Declan Shalvey took this opportunity to do a Star Trek pic.

Michael Walsh was pretty busy this week. He's put up several sweet sketches on his Tumblr. Check out his Joker, Sinestro, Conan & Belit, Prophet, Kraken and Winter Soldier. Woo!

The Atari picture isn't Peter and Mary Jane? Because it could totally be made into one.

This is one of the many reasons why Chris Samnee is my favorite artist: He managed to draw the Black Widow without a huge pair of breasts. Thank you, Mr. Samnee.

@Blizaga101: Dustin Nguyen uses watercolor and inks to do the coloring for his pieces.

Holy Pepperoni in a jar! Tom Raney's work is incredible. I think this is the first time I've been impressed by an artist's rendition of Bane as well as Venom. INCREDIBLE.

The mock poster of Space: 1999--made my day!

Awesome work by all the artists as usual, and I love Phil Noto's art as well as the joystick remark by G-Man. Bad boy, G-Man, bad boy. Ha!

lol @ Atari, that is such a great retro piece. It would have worked awesome as a comic ad back in those days. :)

Some great sci-fi this week too.

@harleyquinnhawkgirl: Actually it's been a while since Chiang has updated his blog. And Noto went a few weeks without as well. My only 'rule' is that they're comic book artists (and should have a page here). I'm always looking for new people to feature.

That's ridiculous. I'd love it if my girlfriend played with my joystick a little more often.
