"A handful of covers for Marvel", eh? Well, I'd say that one is QUITE a handful, Dom! Absolutely stunning. Glad it's found a nice new home in a good "neighborhood!"

During the late 1960s, when these works were appearing, the next Steranko masterwork was always eagerly awaited. Remember this cover very well . . . looks as fresh and exciting as on the day it first appeared on the UK newstands (yeah, we got all the Yankee comics over here). Your're very privileged to own such a beaut, congrads!

You have to love how Steranko would almost always obscure part of the book's title with his art. I wonder if that drove Stan crazy.

Let's not forget about the inker, Frank Giacoia, who makes Steranko's piece stand out so well!

It's great to know that some of these covers are still around. Magnificent.

There are those pieces on CAF that inspire burning jealousy, and this is one of those pieces. Painful to look at...

An impossible dream... Sigh! Well, at least it's (very!) nice to see it shared: thanks for that!

Love the art that goes in front of the title, the Tarzan-touch with the vine, and the posture of Nick Fury, which is kind of impossible to mimic, but add some dynamic to the action

Christmas came and went and you didn't send this to me. Some Secret Santa you are!

Amazing cover. All Steranko covers are either 9's or 10's. Never a bad or boring one!!!!!

a Jim grail.
someone analyzed that Jim only did like 29 comics,
where he introduced something like 150 comic book graphic narratives

Small in number but large in impact. As a young reader I eagerly awaited the next Steranko Marvel comic. As, shall we say, an advanced in years adult I still admire his art. Congrats.

Steranko is having a lot of fun with scale, and this page is off the scale!
