Description

I have a soft spot for Alpha Flight.


Looking at this piece, it is 1984 all over again and I am 13 years old in my first comic shop.

I have just entered the world of comic collecting.

Being Canadian, there is nothing you don't like about Byrne's Alpha Flight! Being 13, there is nothing you don't like about Byrne's Alpha Flight! Alpha Flight #4 and DD #200 were my first 2 comics. Although my affection for mutants and super hero teams would be short lived, I remember this art and these images well having read and re-read these comics many times.


I was also very much into the role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons. I remember the Marvel RPG coming out at the time but never got into it. This is the published cover for The Cats Paw, a module, for the Marvel RPG.


1984, RPG, Alpha Flight, Byrne and my first comics all come together in this piece.

This is nostalgia on STEROIDS for me. Normally I don't do nostalgia but I am weak and this piece spoke to me. If I needed a further sign that this piece was meant to be with me, it was already dedicated to Jeff. On the back it says Byrne, Baby, Byrne in addition to having the Marvel Comic Groups copyright stamp and date.

Very nice! I remember playing this RPG, I think. Was it the one with the expansion that had the cardstock foldable characters that you taped together to stand up? good times

Wow, totally hits the nostalgia spot for me too--my nine year old self was always curious about those Marvel role-playing games even though I never tried them; but I loved looking at the boxes in my local comic shop. Congrats!

I can relate to your comment about 'nostalgia on STEROIDS for me', Byrne's X-Men #121 did that for me. Having a page from that book is still a joy to me after having it for so many years.

Great image of a great team. I wish Marvel decided to reinvest in the Alpha Flight franchise, the concept was amazing!
