Description

Soldier. Dead family. War on terror. Death. Hell. Spirit of Vengeance. Madness. Devourer. Cosmic Power. Thanos.

Thanos #16 tells the wild and incomparable origin of Cosmic Ghost Rider. It is easily one of my favorite comics ever published and possibly my favorite origin story ever told. Plus the cover is incredible! I love the non-traditional take on Galactus and the unique composition. Thanos' kirby krackled fist in the foreground suggests just how powerful he is as Galactus and Cosmic Ghost Rider charge at him through a fore-shortened city. It all comes together to pull you into the moment of action.

I'm incredibly excited and humbled to add this significant Shaw original from a modern classic to my nearly encyclopedic collection of Cosmic Ghost Rider art.

Huge thanks to the person who helped make this one happen.

EPIC! Some covers are just cool images, but the best ones tell a story and this one is KILLER. Congrats on adding this grail to your collection.

Thank you! This truly is a grail. Pieces from this run are hard to find, let alone get, let alone a cover!

An effective cover image for sure! Agreed regarding the uncommon charging pose for Galactus - uniquely cool to see! And you gotta love how big T's just standing...waiting...someone's about to get Krackled :) Congrats!

Exactly! And when do you ever see Galactus lugging around a massive gun like that? Super fun depiction of Galactus and appropriately threatening presence for Thanos. It's a good way to play with the relative size of the characters as well.

I'm just gonna steal a line from DJ Kaled and say...Another One. Nice to see the Galactus all pimped out Punisher style. We also find out he's apparently left handed! This is nice on so many levels. Put in that work Rob...don't give up.

I loved that entire run of Thanos issues, but the Cosmic Ghost Rider stuff (and especially this particular origin issue) was the best. This cover totally rocks! Congrats!
