DescriptionHere is Iron Man C-villain, Dreadknight by Dave Cockrum. This was one of top images that stayed with me from reading the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition series. It had everything I love: a villain, a cool mask, skulls and a distinctive look. I am so glad to have a Cockrum piece in my collection (especially since I will most likely never own an X-Men page by him) and a cool-looking villain to boot.Now this piece confused me as it had a lot of differences between itself and the published piece that appeared in issue # 4 of the Deluxe series. But thanks to Fisch (thanks again, Fisch!) who reached out to a few individuals (including Joe Rubinstein!) who confirmed that this piece was the initial Dave Cockrum illustration while the published image was the lightboxed version Joe Rubinstein did (which accounts for the differences that Joe Rubinstein said he did in his version) for the comic book. Hopefully I can track down the published versions so that I can obtain both versions for my collection. Social/Sharing |

A bit of Atomic Knights and a bit of swashbuckling swagger! Skull face with a skull logo!

Gorgeous piece. I love the lance. (I've one of these as well - he's riding on a dragon in mine. I don't even recall where I got it.)

Thanks, Scott! Yes, he is a very unique and menacing character and it's extremely cool you have an original page with him on a dragon. Most envious!

They need to bring back Dreadknight, he is such a cool villain and a killer action figure!

No problem, E-Ham! Just make sure you watch that first step on your memory trip! Don't want to get any of that nostalgia in your hair. It's a hassle to get out!

Thanks! I try to give a bit of my insight on each of my pieces and am hopefully steadily improving (as my early uploads are pretty barebones).
