DescriptionFor the first time in over 35 years, MICRONAUTS #11 is truly COMPLETE.Observant viewers will note that the central pair of characters is a paste-up. No need to be worried, close examination has demonstrated that it is indeed artwork and not a stat; inkstrokes are apparent, x-acto knife seems to have been used rather than scissors, and the pasted paper is much thicker, and has a different sheen, than statpaper. So, it seems likely to me that an earlier version of the cover must have been rejected, and the pivotal scrum was salvaged by Golden to be the centerpiece of this published version. If this post brings new viewers to my gallery, hello! Please feel invited to look around, and check out my 'Wanted' gallery and my illustrated CAF Want List - there's plenty of stuff I'm looking for, and I'm generous to those who help me out!

Seriously though Big Congrats! We both know this cover was deeply hidden away! This will always be my favorite issue of Golden's Micronauts, the Climax of the First Karza Story Arc! I am wondering what the story is behind the main figures being pasted on, was it just to enlarge the figures? Was it originally a different pose? I'll have to ask Golden about it when I see him. Also it is curious that this cover has all the logos and Marvel banner when a lot of the Golden Micronaut covers from this time period do not. I may still have to get a tattoo of those bottom figures, one of my favorite images ever!

I have doubly confirmed that these figures are artwork, and not a stat; so they were cut from another page. Hence: a previous, rejected attempt with our two fighters being retained for the published version.

A complete book. A complete Golden book. A complete Golden MICRONAUTS book! Are you kidding me????? Can't really think of another collector out there who has managed to acquire all the artwork to his favorite comic book. Incredible, just incredible. Congratulations sir! I hope you enjoy it every single day of your life.
