What an amazing splash. I always dug his costume because it's so cool but never read the magazine. Now you just reminded me to put this on my to buy list.

Great score from a classic Marvel B&W mag - such cool design on this page, and a good sense of weight to the finishes.

I was going to comment, "Too bad it's not Byrne," but I am pretty amazed by how great this page looks. Steve Gan, you officially rock. And congrats Steve K.!
