DescriptionIt's Halloween and it's time for the Big Red Devil himself, Mephisto. This was used for the cover of Marvel Age #45 where it's Mephisto versus Everyone. Back when Wandavision de-butted, everyone thought the next big bad of the MCU was going to be Mephisto, but we all got Ralph Bonered as it was Agatha all along! Anyways, Happy Halloween!Social/Sharing |

Where's Franklin Richards when you need him? Then again, if he was there to shoot his eye beams of goodness (rumored to be a conduit to Earth-Snyder) at Mephisto, we wouldn't have this awesome cover.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was showing up in Marcus's CAF gallery!

Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

Magnificent and malevolent Mephisto cover, a Halloween-worthy homage to the memorable Powerman Iron Fist #57! Very cool Marcus!

A delightful image here of the Devil at Play. He need only close his fists, but he enjoys the flea circus before him.

Marvel Age always had some of the best covers since they didn't have the normal title restraints. This is a perfect example. Gorgeous!

And to think they say Mephisto is evil. What a nice guy. Look at him letting all the non flying heroes rest on his hands!

Wow! I love this! I came to make some silly comment but instead all I can say is that this is amazing! I'm super envious.
When it comes time to sell just remember that I may have been the underbidder! ;)

Iconic. Mephisto a tough assignment for anyone to draw, and pretty much an impossible out. Run !!

WOW! This is too cool. I absolutely love the design and art team. It's so great to see it in it's original form and I also loved the how much the color version popped with just a few colors.

Great promo art for the very fun and nostalgic 1987 Mephisto vs 4 Heroes mini series. Each issue he took on a different team (FF, X-Factor, Avengers, X-Men). One of the earliest mini series I remember adding to my LCS pull list. Bravo!

This one leaves quite an impression as Mephisto towers over more heroes than I am able to count without messing up mid count! This is sooo good, thanks for posting/sharing!

A Mephisto from Big John and Palmer is just the best version of the character, hands down, and you have a magnificent example here. This is awesome!! Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Silver Surfer 3 is one of my favorite comics ever, so any time Buscema draws Mephisto is a holiday for me! Happy Halloween, Marcus!

Stunning. Can't believe this was "just" a Marvel Age cover. Feels like it should have been a poster.
Great addition to your collection, Marcus.

Lots of tiny figures, and Buscema still draws flawless anatomy .
oh, and Mephisto ain't so bad either!

This just looks like a "classic" cover, like if you told AI to show you a Buscema cover from the 70s it would show you this. So awesome that you have something like this.
