Last year we reported on the Marvel Comics licensed sexy pajamas that Spencer’s Online was offering and it was a very popular post indeed. Well, DC has licensed out some of their superheroes to be immortalized on sexy women’s pajamas too!
On May 19th & 20th, The Midwest Comic Book Association will hold their annual SpringCon in the Grandstand at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. As usual, there will be hundreds of guests to meet, plenty of dealers selling great items, several panels to attend, and cosplayers galore!
This year, we at Comic Book Critic will be attending SpringCon and will have information and photos from the show to share with you.
Yesterday we posted our ECCC ‘12 sketch gallery and today we have more to show you.
Here are some sketches and commissions from a few of the artists that attended ECCC 2012. The images come directly from the artists’ tweets and/or retweets from the Con or their site. We will properly credit the images to those who took the photos or own the artwork. Please contact us, if that is the case.

What you don’t usually see are the Con sketches and commissions that are done by the talented artists who attend these shows. They range from quick little sketches to fully fleshed out commissions that fans often pay good money to acquire.
