Also agreed. Several covers and a little RID interior work aren't enough of a recent showcase for his skills.

ACME Comics is awesome, even though I'm in Charlotte now instead of Greensboro I still buy my comics from them and have them shipped.
SPLIT LIP
I could not agree more. He has so many styles, and can emulate other artists so well, and always high-quality.

I've lurked for several years, but wanted to comment just so I can say that Casey Coller is my favorite TF artist. I wish he was able to be utilized more often.

Hah, that's cool. That's a pretty awesome reference.
IaconStargazer
It would've been cool simply as a usual-style Coller piece with layout and character placements like the original art, but the old painted style is a wonderful extra touch.
Autovolt 127
That is neat.
