First of all it's a gem. Secondly, not only did you make a smart move abandoning pinkos and commissions for published but man it must have taken a lot of commissions to get this piece. Bravo.

Don't know what you had to sell or give up for this, but isn't there some old saying about "the greater good"? Well, it doesn't get much greater than this incredible gem. Congrats Kirk!

Congratulations! It does not get much better than a cover showing superheroics on a grand scale by two of the Bronze Age's greatest artists.

Wonderful cover! I love BWS' composition here. The scene is so iconic it's burned into my brain. Love Buscema's inks as well. Great pick-up!
