Mephisto
The Flea's attic apartments are now home to a signed 1987 P. Craig Russell lithograph of Mephisto. Mephisto is a fine villain though not one of my favourites. I was after the poster as it is graphically powerful, presented the opportunity to own a signed Russell and it was not expensive as he is (unjustly) not as sought after as other comics artists. It is going to share pride-of-place with my Tim Bradstreet original Dark Knight sketch... Next on the hit-list: something by Dave McKean.

Very, very cool.
We have a couple of signed Barry Windsor-Smith prints in the house. Pretty reasonably priced, too, and in keeping with our Pre-Raphaelite bents.

I actually have the 1987 series: MEPHISTO VS.
He(she, it) took on everyone of any stature in the marvel universe. Excellent villain.

This is a very attractive site, without trying too hard, if you know what I mean. Good content, too.

Way super cool, Flea. My platonic attraction deepens... 8^) Every bit as cool as the Arsenal of Doom.
I am an owner of Cerebus the Aardvark, Volumes 1, 2, and 3, complete, original. I know the attraction. I'm more a collector of autographed books and (d-uh) military art, one has to have some limits. But I thoroughly identify with the Flea's collecting habits.
BTW - I'll be in England, at Salisbury, for three weeks here at the end of the month. Any recommendations (aside from Stonehenge) of local sites of note?

Hmm... I shall think about posting a Flea-guide to Salisbury and environs tomorrow!
