Description

This is my Grail piece. I had heart palpitations the entire week this piece was on ebay. I tried very hard to get the owner to close the auction early but I couldn't. I waited until the last second and got it! Why so important to me? When I was around 7 years old I remember reading this comic and being blown away by Hank McCoy's ability to make a pseudoderm mask to cover up his furry face. That one panel stuck with me and I never forgot the cover. Kane and Everett are my two favorite artists and this piece truly makes me feel like a kid again! Now you can't beat that

i remember, as a kid, loving the Beast, my favorite of the X-Men. i was disappointed when he went blue and furry, but i remember thinking the cover of this issue was terrific. decades ago, it was difficult to find back issues. i remember scouring flea markets looking for this issue and never finding it. and now you have the original art! nice work!

Vincent, one of the premiem covers of the 1970s, indeed! But are you trying to tell me you will not sell it to me!

One of the best Kane cover from the famous 20c era and as Bill Thomson, I will say Everett was a perfect inker for Kane, he respect his pencils and added his touch for a very remarkable result. Great cover, congratulations !!!

I have the exact same memory of reading this book and was equally inspired by the panel you are describing. Those 20 cent Marvels really did if for me as a kid growing up in the 70's. Congrats!

Congrads! A truly epic cover I agree Kane & Everett rocked! Sigh! I miss those days of epic comics & epic creative people! I loved the Beast before & after his transformation! If I ever win that big lottery jackpot! I'll be making you a crazy $$$$ offer! A true masterpiece!

("Lo! A Beast is Born!") - How many comic book covers have the word "LO!" on them?!? NOT MANY! This cover is BEYOND AWESOME!!!

No one has commented on this in a couple of years. That's a shame. A fabulous bronze-age masterpiece!

This is awesome, I am a huge Everett fan so please do not bury this piece in the future as it might test my moral compass and digging skills.

Bury? I would never! In fact it is on display in my showroom if you'd like to see it in person. It hangs right next to my Subby 48 cover.

Come by the office any time if you'd like to see it. It is hanging next to the Sub-Mariner 48 cover, also a Kane/Everett collaboration. Soooo good!

Absolutely great cover. Kane has such a unique style.

Also love the "picuture frame" look that Marvel had on a lot of their books at the time. Sets the 20c period in its own "age". Bronze Window Box, maybe.
