Oh. My. God. So this is what a Grail looks like when it finally surfaces. I've probably had this cover on my short "Impossible Dream" list since I started collecting in 1994. Congratulations!!!

The Who's Who by Stevens on this character was so killer that I sought this comic out and was amazed by Pike's original rendition being even more gorgeous.
