From what I remember of this book, they should of helped him.

This is a gem of a page, but Sparrow??? Where's Claim Jumper?? But seriously, I love the layering done on this page.

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting, that Sparrow was fast as lightning...

When Mike does his foreground/background magic, everyone wins! Except the kickees, I suppose.

The kickees!  I'm still learning the lingo here on CAF

Meant to say that this is a fabulous page!  Can't get enough Perkins

Everybody was and IS kung-fu fighting and it definitely looks like those kicks are fast as lightning!

Don't call it a comeback
He’s kicked ass for years
Mike Perkins’ no peers
Puttin' suckers in fear
Makin' the tears rain down inside K’un L’un
Listen Chosin’s face go boom
Kick motions, overpowerin'
Over the competition I'm grey washin'
Wrecking shop with my fighting spirit
That'll make you call the cops
Death you come here, Mike’s in a groove
Don't ever compare
Me to Iron Fist that'll all get sliced and diced
On a mission, playin’ your price

I'm gonna knock you out
Sparrow will knock you out
Page is gonna knock you out
Brisson said knock you out
Mike’s gonna knock you out
Sparrow will knock you out
Mike’s gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out

Eat your heart out, Bruce Lee. HIIII-YAAAAAAAA! Man, that is a kick ass battle page. Lovely work everywhere, especially that Colan-esque fight rendering in every position, but the ink wash background really does take the cake for me. Beautiful artistry. Great choice, Rubén. A Chuck Norris roundhouse worth of congrats!

A great action page!

An exciting page. But what I find really special is the top panel with its use of two tone to seperate foreground and background. Congrats.

That is one badass biatch....

Amazing how Perkins pulled off the simultaneous background/foreground action.

High-octane fight page. Dig that intensity in the last panel!

1 - Posted on 4/27/2022

That first panel?  Are you KIDDING me?!?!?  WOW!  How does Mike DO that??  And yeah, those irregular slanty panels really add to the frenetic nature of the action.  Congrats!

Wow! Love that second middle panel! He created such great depth and perspective with that sword! Great piece Ruben! So much good stuff here!

Great action page, Ruben. It reminds me a lot of that Iron Fist Rudy Nebres page where he's doing a similar crazy leg kick. Always loved it.

Fun page. My favourite is the last panel actually.

Agree with the contrast of the ink wash. Looks amazing! Love the action packed into every square inch of this page. Plenty of bang for your buck on this page!

that top panel is incredible, classic Perkins depth and intensity

What an awesome web of action!!!

 Hanna Barbera's Hong Kong Phooey aint got nothing on Sparrow!  The ink wash is gorgeous on this beauty

Another killer example of Perkins's pure illustration chops paired with his action scene storytelling skills!  Awesome stuff.  And that ink wash background up top?!  Really takes the page over the top.  So cool visually...and rare!  You don't see that done much at all.  Congrats!
