DescriptionA special page from Longshot's first issue and Arthur Adams first Marvel interior work (he did one cover before). To come out of the gate this strong was prolific, and he has maintained an untouchable level of quality for almost 40 years now!Love the action on this page. Also a nice bonus, in the third panel, there is an itty bitty multi-armed lady in the right corner. This would be Spirals first image in comics! Big thank you to Mr. Hawaii himself, Jordan Joanou, for working with me on this one! Social/Sharing |

Longshot may have been the protagonist, but the odd couple of Spiral and Mojo (slim and aloof vs bulbous and manic) are Adams' signature creations as far as I'm concerned. Her brief but striking appearance in this issue left us wanting more, and thankfully more was on the way.

From the very beginning, Art Adams was an amazing artist and storyteller. And what a historic page! This one definitely fits in your awesome collection.

You better lose yourself in the comic
The comment, you own it, you'd never ever get Mojo
You only get Longshot, do not miss your chance Spiral
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo

This may be the only opportunity that I got

WOW. The word "special" falls short. As does "unique" and "exciting". We probably should be looking more at something along the lines of "game-changing", "historic", and/or "legendary". First interior work by Arthur Adams, introducing both a popular X-Man -and- X-Villain? A lot of boxes checked here, James, any -one- of which would be dizzying, but when thrown together in a perfect storm of mutant awesomeness, result in a spectacular CAF addition. Thank you for posting this for us all to enjoy, and CONGRATS on another epic add, James!
