Description

I feel like I have a piece of history, as the images created for the first volume of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe seemed iconic, as the best representation of each character. Marvel often had an artist associated with the character to provide the full body pose, and in Red Skull's case, it is my favorite Captain America artist, Mike Zeck. This powerful pose features the sinister Skull in his decked-out nazi uniform, smugly holding his cigarette holder, with a glimpse of a crazed look in his eye. Expertly inked by the master Joe Rubinstein. Now I just need the OHOTMU Cap to go with him!

NOTE: See the published piece below which does not include the Nazi arm band.

Great to see this piece again. Can't believe I let this one go along with the other Cap pin-ups. But, yes, Marvel started a policy around that time of not showing the Nazi symbols. Later, they wouldn't allow smoking... so you have two banned things all in one drawing here!
