DescriptionI need money so I might sell it for the right price. I’m accepting offers.My Holy Grail. The issue where Hank Pym sacrifices himself. When Ultimatum 3 came out in Dec 2008 I emailed Ed McGuinness and begged him for the variant cover. He told me that the inker from England got to keep the cover and he doesn't sell his stuff. So I looked all over the internet looking for info on Mark Farmer and found nothing. So sadly I gave up. Last month one of my artist friends on Facebook mentioned to one of his friends about how he thought Mark's inks would look great over his pencils. So I sent him a message asking if he knew how I could contact Mark. I didn't actually expect him to personally know Mark. But he did. So I was able to get in contact with Mark and ask about the cover. He said "sure I have" and he'd sell it to me. I also didn't expect to be able to afford a variant cover by Ed McGuinness. I almost fell out of my chair when he told me what he'd sell it to me for. I guess because it's Pym. It's nice to like a character that not a lot of others are interested in. This has been my best OA buying experience so far. It was all luck and right place/right time. This was the last issue of anything I read in the Ultimate Universe. They killed Hank so why read on.

Congrats on getting your grail! That was too easy though, now you need a grail that will be harder to get!

Great piece. Can't get a much larger image of the character (Pym) pictured on a cover. Lots of power and energy. Congrats.

It is ALWAYS good when the Universe shifts ever so slightly and allows a Grail to COME HOME. All is well and all manner of things are well. Enjoy

Every time a comic art collector acquires a long sought grail, you hear a bell, and an angel gets his wings. Really happy for you, Kim... good hunting!

Congrats Kimberly! I was lucky enough to acquire my comic art GRAIL last year, so I know how special such an acquisition that can be! If you're looking to get it framed, I can't recommend Steve Wyatt (he has a CAF gallery) highly enough! He did a fabulous job on my Wrightson Hooky Cover! Happy Collecting!

Awesome! Hank doesn't get enough solo covers. Cool layouts too, I don't think I've ever seen a cover set up exactly like that before.

NO matter how many times I come to view your gallery, this piece jumps out at me. I can't take my eyes off of it. Out of all of the great pieces in your gallery, this is my favorite. Such a great concept.

Only McGuiness could jam pack that much image in a cover. I can see why it is your grail and why you reached out across the pond (the home of the original Holy Grail) to get it. Giant congratulations!
