Thank you for the comment, Marcus.  As you note, Chaykin has assimilated and thought deeply about the styles of the great twentieth century illustrators.  His work is a master class in design. 

Thank you for the very kind words, Eric.  I'm sure you will add a great Chaykin piece to your most impressive collection some day soon.  

Mike is a great artist and there is so much expressive power in Galactus's face.  Well done.  

Two great characters from Spider-Man's 90s stories, done by an artist who knows them well.  This is a great commission.  Congratulations! 

This is a wonderful page with drama and action, done in Butler's High Bronze Age style.  

Thank you, my friend.  I just saw your Butler piece and it's amazing!  Or should I say spectacular?  😉

I love this series as well.  It had all the humor and action that made this legenedary team's run on Justice League so great.  Kevin Maguire is a singular talent and this cover shows why.  His pencils are tight, tight, tight and his facility with expression is unmatched.  Poor(?) Hulk is going to get smashed.  

It does have a Bronze Age feel to it!  Thanks for the comment, Michael.

Besides being the cover to a milestone issue, this beauty shows off why Chris Bachalo is so revered.  Each and every character has a distinct personality and the spatial placement is just superb.  Congratulations!

Thank you for the comment, Bill!  Steven did a very nice job on this commission and as you note, he created the illusion of depth very nicely.  Your Spider-Man collection is a constant source of wonder to me and other collectors.  

Thank you, Ian!  You have a beautiful collection of Silver Sable pages by Steven.

Thanks pal!

That's a very astute point about the way Butler now draws backgrounds; thanks for the comment, Marcus!

Thank you very much.  It was Jerry's idea to add color to the lightsaber to make it stand out.

Thank you for the comment, my friend.  And now I have the theme song stuck in my head as well. 

You can feel the visceral impact of the Rhino in this typically brilliant commission by Chris Samnee.  Congratulations!

This is just amazing.  Of all the artists to follow Steve Ditko on the good doctor, my favorite has always been Gene Colan.  Colan's sense of drama and his amazing figures make this one great cover!  Congratulations!

Thank you, Bill!  Without Bill Sienkiewicz, Elektra would have never reached her full potential.

Thank you, my friend.  I hope your year is off to a great start!

Mike was the perfect choice for Swamp Thing -- his ultra-detailed yet moody artwork was perfect for the story Ram was telling.  This is a fabulous page.

Thank you, Shannon.  Lockheed's nose seems to be most people's favorite element.  

"K-rust Kringle!"  Just brilliant, my friend.  I hope your 2023 is going great as well.  

Thanks for the astute comment, Jason!  Rick really excels with the futuristic architecture and I love the "web-cape" as well.   

Thank you, Anthony.

No one does Spidey in motion better than Bagley.  The figures are so kinetic and full of life.  Congratulations!

So true, Michael.  

Thank you, Kahlil!  All the comments on this piece have mentioned the inks and it really is amazing how Paul channeled Jason Pearson's style while still retaining the unique PMS style we all know and love.  

I wholeheartedly agree, my friend.

Thank you, Eric!  I know how much Jason's work meant to you.  I was perusing your CAF gallery again today and looking at your Pearson artwork.  Wow.  That man could draw anything and make it look dynamic and compelling.  I think Smitty really captured Jason's essence with this Mack and Panda piece.  And I hope that somewhere, Mr. Pearson has found the peace that seems to have eluded him in life.

Thank you for the comment, Marcus!  I agree; Paul sublimated his distinctive style to pay homage to Jason Pearson.  I think Mr. Pearson would have loved this tribute to Panda and Mack.  

When Dale Keown left the Hulk, I was heartbroken.  But Gary Frank was a great substitute and this amazing page shows his command of expression and body language.  Great pick-up, my friend!

Thank you so much, my friend!  Before I saw this piece, I would have said that only three artists know how to draw Galactus -- Jack Kirby (of course), John Byrne and Ron Lim.  Now I have to add Paul Smith to that roster.  Thank you for the compliment and happy new year, pal!

Thank you, Bill!  JPL was a master with inks.  

Another winner from Paul! Spidey and the Rhino are rendered so beautifully here.  

I can feel the Rhino coming out of the page, ready to do some serious damage.  

I just love how expressive Elektra is here.  This is gorgeous.  

What an incredible piece by Lee.  He is the greatest modern Hulk artist, along with Dale Keown.  

An amazing take on my favorite Hulk villain of them all. Emil looks so menacing here.  

Very nice piece by Staz.  Elektra looks menacing and ready to dish out a world of hurt in this picture.  

A beautiful rendering of a Skrull by Paul.  Congratulations!

Thank you, Bill!

The combination of Frenz and Sinnott was a match made in heaven, or Asgard.  😉

Coming from someone with as impressive a Hulk collection as you possess, that is very high praise indeed!

Elektra was created by Frank Miller, but Bill Sienkiewicz is her definitive artist.

It really was incredible seeing Lee draw this piece in 45 minutes while chatting with me. Thank you for the kind words, Bill.

My pleasure, Bill.  Thank you for the compliment.

Thank you very much, Desmond!  I'm very lucky to own this page.  

Wow!  This is such a great piece by Ed Piskor.  I love corner box art and this is just exceptional.  Congratulations, pal! 

An absolutely stunning piece of art!

Thanks, Marcus!  And thank you for all the comments in my gallery in 2022.  My best wishes to you.
