Description

I don't usually post my sketch cards, but I am completely in awe of this one. Indeed of all the painted cover homages that Manix accomplished in miniature scale at #SDCC2024.

Each one of them is a precious gem, and congrats to everyone who happened to be in the right place at the right time to pick one up.

How does he do it?!?!?

Thanks to Manix, Jiggy, and the whole Next Comic Art crew - you guys bring family fun to every show you're at.

This is really lovely. I like the way that Manix's depiction of Galactus humanizes him. There's some genuine warmth and curiosity in the way he's looking at Norris.

haha the look on Galactus' face got me pretty good...fantastic homage that brings both a smile and a chuckle, nice score and very hard to believe it's on a sketch card size canvas

Hah! So awesome! What a fantastic cover to homage. How can one not love Galactus' facial expression?!?

Yo, ayo tonight is the night that I'ma get twisted
Mix Giraud art and Surfer, get a Manix
Roll that spaceship, we about to get lifted
Live in the present, his gift is that he’s gifted
This what you came, this card you came for
The best what you buy, this art you paid for
So make sure the stars is what you paint for
Make it great though

I’m never hungry, life is a party
I just wanna enjoy the lines
What is that Jiggy? It's pretty early
It's okay, we'll take our time

Galactus still fun
Galactus still fun
The night is still young
And so are we

Great Homage.

I can only presume that the wide-eyed look of Galactus is because in all of his years he has never seen silver cheeks clapped so gracefully.

I'm late to the party in posting on this piece, but Manix cover cards from SDCC were a whole class of winners above all that there was to see at the show. Congrats on a cosmic beauty!

I don't know why, but everytime I see another Manix work of art, my jaw drops to the floor! What is it about Manix's work that amazes and astonishes me? I'd guess it's the delight of seeing characters I know and covers I love in a whole new light! I mean, I've seen all these characters for so long, I get kind of jaded, they lose some of their freshness. But when I see them through Manix's work, they all seem fresh and original, like the first time I saw them as a kid! This Galactus/Silver Surfer card is fabulous! Love Manix's style here, love his colors, love everything about it. Fantastic pick-up, congrats!
