Description

I am so excited to add this fantastic cover the collection! I always loved going through the OHOTMU issues growing up as a child to learn more about Marvel characters, plus I thought the covers were always so cool featuring so many heroes! And this one is no exception! Obviously, it features Captain America, but I also love a lot of the other cool characters here like Beta Ray Bill, Black Bolt, Captain Britain, Black Widow, Cannonball, Blob, Captain Universe, Black Knight, Beast, and many more! Plus, does it get any better than Byrne doing Cap???

Yes - it does get better - Byrne/Rubinstein doing Cap, which is what you get here - awesome!

But you didn't list the best character of them all on this beauty - Captain Ultra! (although I'm surprised he's flying so close to Binary's flames...)

So that's who that character is!! I will admit I had no idea who he was, but you just made me look him up!!

Very nice!  They probably should have replace Cap with Cyclops front and center, but all good!

Even with others ahead of him in the alphabet, there's no denying Cap will be leading the charge in this volume!  Scissor me timbers, Clea!

Excellent cover with some key characters, the most important, of course, being Captain Ultra. But hey, at least it still has a Captain America cameo!

Absolutely love Byrne's OHOTMU covers, but the Cap & Clea is probably tops, big congrats!!

Fantastic wraparound cover to OHMU by the great John Byrne and Joe Rubinstein. I've always loved these covers for the inclusion of so many cool heroes. But this one is especially important to me for having Captain America,The Beast and Beta Ray Bill on it. That's a lot of A players on one cover. Great pick-up, by the way, congrats!

Great selection of "B" characters on this wraparound.  Beast, Beta Ray Bill, Black Bolt, Black Knight, and Black Widow are probably my faves.  And of course there's Cap leading the charge.  Perfect for you!

Outstanding!  Pure vintage Byrne goodness byrning my eyes in the best way!  So many heavy hitters streaking across the page (pages, rather!) here - big congrats!
