Description

Absolutely love this epic splash by Nick Bradshaw from the 2014 Free Comic Book Day issue of Guardians of the Galaxy. I saw Nick at Fan Expo Canada 2025 and asked him if this issue was his first time drawing Guardians and if he drew the pages in chronological order. He confirmed this splash was his first time drawing the team in his run of covers and interiors.

In this issue Tony Stark convinces Flash Thompson (Agent Venom) to replace him on the team. Tony tells Flash the Guardians are similar to the Avengers except in space and that they answer to no one. How can Flash say no!

Nick Bradshaw is my favorite artist and Guardians are my favorite team! I'm a huge fan of Nick's run on Guardians of the Galaxy and he does such a great job breathing life into each character. I told myself I wasn't going to take 2025 off for collecting but I couldn't pass this up. I also own Nick's cover to GotG issue 21 which follows the Free Comic Book Day issue.

This comic was published just a few months before the first GotG movie was released. It was meant as a jumping point for new readers of the ongoing series and also helped promote the movie. Guardians of the Galaxy movie was critically acclaimed and also went on to become a successful ltrilogy. To this day many top Marvel movie lists include Volume 1 in their top 5. I know I do!

Thanks Brian! I told myself I was going to take a break collecting art this year but it pulled me out of retirement! I can't resist Bradshaw's Guardians of the Galaxy but you were real close to getting it!

Sweet piece! It's more awesome than the cover used for the book! A great introduction to the new lineup which would prove to be the most popular!

Insane dynamism and figures. Beradshaw is at home with this team it would seem.
