"I love the timing of the anniversary of Superman's adoption coinciding with Father's Day because both of Superman's fathers are so important – and how perfect that Man of Steel is coming to theaters right in time, too," says ArtInsights owner Leslie Combemale. The opening party of Marvel vs. DC on Friday, June 7, was attended by hundreds of fans and collectors who appreciated the many exclusive hand-signed limited editions, some of which also included Stan Lee's signature. "The passion of these comic art fans is like that of no other group," says ArtInsights co-owner Michael Barry. "They know every character and every story, and they appreciate the art more than anyone else we ever see here in the gallery." ArtInsights also carries Disney, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and other film images, exhibiting from animation cels to giclee prints to original artwork. This is the first exhibit on this scale curated at the gallery.
