Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 – running time 23:32

I See A Darkness is the graphic novel all about one of iFanboy's all time favorite musicians, Johnny Cash.

Original Comic Book Art

Comics collecting doesn't stop at the books themselves as some like to collect the original art that helps to make the comic books. Ron shares some of the original art he acquired in 2009 from books and artists like Mitch Breitweiser and Uncanny X-Men, Mike Norton and Green Arrow/Black Canary, Jeff Lemire and his graphic novel The Nobody and Jamie McKelvie and Phonogram.
