Freeze frame, my poster collection, part 12…

In the previous entry I talked about Bart Sears, and some of the posters that I collected from the artist. Today I highlight another comic book artist whose work I love. Adam Hughes is, and will always be the greatest comic book pinup artist. It’s not even up for debate. Just like asking who is the best monster comic book artist and not saying Arthur Adams. He is simply in a class all his own.

He’s known mainly for his DC pinup pieces. There isn’t a female hero that Mr. Hughes couldn’t turn into a stunning illustration.

Even when he’s working with characters from Image comics Mr. Hughes was born to be a pinup artist.

One of the rarest posters I have of his work is from the short lived Penthouse Comix line. I should get it autographed one of these days.

There are some other fantastic artists when it comes to drawing pinups. Frank Cho is a close second to Hughes, as is J. Scott Campbell. Do you have a favorite comic book pinup artist, or favorite comic book bombshell? I’d like to read about it in the comments section.
