That is a magnificent bronze age splash and being that it's his origin makes this a gem.

Pure 70's gold! Billy Graham was one of the most underrated artists of the Bronze Age and he gave Tuska the Grit n' Grime needed to pull off Marvel's answer to Blaxploitation! Can ya' dig it?

And even more credit is due to the magician who pulls amazing pieces, such as this one, seemingly out of thin air. Magic indeed. Congratulations on getting a well-remembered and fondly-considered page from your early comic reading days. In some ways those pages are the most magical of all. Congratulations.
