So much occult goodness on this page! Can I safely put those two words together? ;) I love that backwards L shaped panel, it makes the whole page layout pop. Nice work by Perlin, too. Magical page!

I really like the angle he chose for Supes. Like a Super Selfie! The shading is especially nice, adding a lot of depth. Really nice work by Newell. Super!

"No, Speedboy, I said to drive AROUND the cars! Don't drive between!!!!" Fighting American! Wow, what a sweet splash. Loved this Simon and Kirby work, even if it didn't take off. You win the race!

Is Barney putting the kibosh on San Quentin Quartz once he goes through that ajar door? Will we ever know? You have the prehistoric first mentions of both San Quentin...and Quartz! ;) Heh, very fun page. Caperific!

Yep, it's curtains for us all. Th-th-th-that's all folks! Lol, I don't know what this crossover is, but I love it. Lex and the Looneys! Heh. Great fun page add! 

Beautiful and historic splash! Byrne's run on FF is one of the top runs of anything, imo, so it's amazing to see the first bit of art. He came out of the corner swinging! Huge congrats 

Multiversal Mephistos? Council of Red? Oh, my, I've missed something both incredible and smack-dab in the middle of my wheelhouse. I think I need to see a buddy comedy series with Husky Mephisto (I'm big-boned!) and Mephisto-Pig. Has Spider-Pig done something Faustian in one of the dimensions? And a cherry brick on top! This is a seriously cool, subtly amusing, very well drawn and inked splash. Infernal congrats! 

Mommy and Daddy private time over the garage? Heh. New Wagner Mage art! Very cool. The visual storytelling is strong here. Nice score! 

Sphinx-Tut Spidey Mini-Kaiju! It just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? I really dig your Micronauts focus, they were so fun and under-appreciated, imo. Great cover score. Mighty micros!

Zaffino art is surprisingly hard to find! Well, maybe not so surprising with that incredible gritty style. That's a perfect page for the Cimmerian, standing battle-ready in the snow, as he does. Great art choices on the page, from that light wash to the detailed Conan. By Crom, you have a winner!

Crusher Creel! One of my very favorite baddie designs, highlighted nicely as a sweet OHOTMU page. It's just an old timey escaped convict, but done so cool. Maybe it's making his head match the ball, I dunno, but as soon as you see a hint of the striped pants, you know a fun bad guy story is brewing. Score!

Don't forget the Etrigan Ears! Demon dog, nice. I liked that one, too, and you can't beat this art team. I really dig how he simply used the two floated panels with that background image to achieve simple depth in the image. That's why he's one of the best. Great page!

Two heads are better than one. KA-THUNK! I just love Burchett's Battle Angles here, it makes the action pop so well. Batman approves. Great get!

If anyone has understood the job, it is most certainly Mr Bueno. That's about as Destroyer of Worlds as you get. Galan is like, "A little to the left. Little more. Perfect!" Great commission.

Shocking! I always liked that baddie design. Nice mix of logical/functional with early Marvel goofiness, to make a favorite b-level Spidey bad guy for me. And McGuinness kills the art, layout and action here, as he does. As usual, Swinging High, Paul!

I just made a friend
A friend is someone you need
But now that he had to go away
I still feel the words that he might say

Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see
Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake me up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon
You and me

He's lookin' for home
'Cause everyone needs a place
And home's the most excellent place of all
And I'll be right here if you should call me
 

It's a Diamond commission, Marcus. You did SDCC right! Lol, I love this one. 

One of the more Heavy Metal of the Thor covers, and I'm here for it. You've got a little blood on your cheek, Odinson. Or is it in your eye? Beautiful color cover piece by Ribic, as he does. Bloody marvelous!

That triangle chest plate threw me when it came out. Clunk the armor back up a bit, a little color change, and a triangle chest beam, and I was in, too. Loved the SC armor, and you know I dig that onomatopoeia, too. Heh. Nice find, Kahlil! KRAWHAM!

Sterankawesome! Love the throwback styling, Reilly nailed it. I don't know what the heck that gun shoots, but I bet it ain't fun! Great design on this splash. Nice grab!

OMMMMMMMMMM! Shhh, let's keep it down, Doc is communing with the universe. Love the multi-tone usage, too! So many great tricks to make this cover pop with Sorcerous Power. The little details, like putting stars in the empty Eye of Agamotto holder, are top-notch. Spellbinding! 

Sergio on a Where's Groo spin-off would be amazing. Could you imagine? Thanks, Duke Fleed!

Wowsers! A Romita Spidey page?! It's gorgeous. And I actually dig that web-slinging angle, laying down Spidey's path. And no kidding on the inking, it's soo good. With that level of finish, one inker would have had trouble getting this one out the door in time, imo. And Pete's story was always about the ladies in his life. Great score. Swinging high!

Yeah, those inks on MT are just incredible. I was blown away when I saw it in person. Thank you, Kahlil!

This is lovely. The great artists can grab you with a paucity of well-placed lines. As you said so well, I love the indicators he included.  The art is all there, and it isn't. Very cool piece. Swingin!

Swamp Coffee! Ha! We have the swampy blend you're looking for. Good stuff, Jason. And great point about the balance of light and dark inks in the characters. As for the next commission, it could be a WHILE. Have to wait on a few lists to open. :) Thank you, Jason 

Oh, I'd love to see him filling up the pages. Thanks for that tidbit, very cool! I'm going to try to do my part to mention that into existence, too. DC and Marvel are overdue for another crossover...

Mad Dog! Ruff. I really love a lot of the art from this series, and this cover is a great call back to their older style. And I'll always sign onto a Punisher homage. Excellent cover, Paul! THWPPT

Ha! That's totally the next moment (and I'm not kidding that I might double dip in the next few years and get that one, too. It would be an awesome pairing! Lol) Thank you, Paul!

Charles Burns! Great point, I completely agree. And they are definitely brothers from another mother. :) Thanks, Fred! 

I was shocked when he sent me the scan. Waaaay above and beyond my expectations, and it was not a long wait.

Thank you! I have a series of DC vs Marvel commissions I'm going to get  done over time, and I've carefully selected the list of artists. When you match it up right, you can get magic, imo. 

He really should be brought in to do a Man-Thing series. The way he handles darks, his thick lines, and all that detail. He would DESTROY that series, imo. Restart Marvel Team-Up! Thanks, Rubén. 

Blast off! I love the angle, and how Marquez has him taking off like a space shuttle. Great angle! And the energy of the Mach ring with the motion lines is perfect. And the cityscape! Great piece, Jason! 

Galactus would prolly be eating a lot of Hercules' favorite travel sport. "Whoops, verily tis my mistake. Won't happen again...we'll, again again." Very cool What If page. Really like how Oeming handled the light source. Congrats!

Ghost Rider claws sound a lot wetter than Wolvies. Heh, love the Onomonopeia Page. The 90s lettering is great, too. Cool page!

My word, dude...How do you find all this cool stuff! There ain't nothing plain about Paul Pope's work, and you got his first Batman cover?! Batman should put you in his utility belt! Congrats 

It makes me happy that this made it into a collection. :) I love how marvel, modifies, re-prints, and it's really sweet to get these pieces. Great find, Marcus! I would imagine a lot of them disappeared, and that is such cool big art. The white out galaxy edge was a great choice. Stellar!

I actually remember this page very well. It's stuck in my brain, because that first panel really grabbed me as a kid. It's weird, but even remember where I was sitting when I read it. Man, your breakdown of art is always top-notch. You should write a book on the art of visual storytelling in comics, if you haven't already. Great insights, amazing art!

Wow, this is fantastic. There's so much subtle storytelling here, as you said, with great use of visual significant details to do a lot of subtextual heavy lifting. I really dig the roulette wheel with the dates switched in. Very cool piece, Fred. Always bet black!

You know I love design and process. Especially when they give you the notes, too, so you can see their though process. Some of my favorite stuff you can get from an artist, and this is great. Love the bell-bottoms, too. Groovy!

YES! Dude, I love Deadman, and this is simple but killer. Love that look, and the detail of his skin with the whispier, lighter red gives him a fantastic ghostly look, imo. There, but fuzzed. Killed it dead! ;)

Man, I miss NY pizza...Enjoy, Pete, you've earned it! Man, I love DWJ art, and this color job took it over the top. Just killed it. The level of detail is insane.  Swingin high!

I think in the next scene, Indy comes in a gets the amulet from Marien. ;) Cool page? Check! Love the moment, and Ramos never fails to please. His scenes always crackle with sound and energy. To the plane with the red line behind it!

I met him once, too. It's nice when your heroes live up to the billing. And sharing that with your son is wonderful. Oh, and sweet Thor sketch! He chose a nice angle and expression. I loved Sal's work on Thor. Congrats to you and your son!

I wonder if Watanabe's nickname is The Claw? Because how is his hand anything other than a shriveled claw after drawing things like this?! Holy Detail, Batman! That leaf drop shadow on his costume is brilliantly done. And using ink wash technique to create depth? Wow. This is gorgeous, Kahlil! KAH-THOOM!

Spidey Spotlight Cover! I cannot tell you how much I love these...wait, yea I can. I love these! They were some of the coolest, imo, and were among my very favorites. I still have this issue somewhere, just saw it recently. As the first comment said, you have the coolest stuff. Spotlight and...ACTION!

GAHHHHHHHHHHHH! Sorry, got caught up in the moment and thought we were all yelling. 90s badassery engaged! Awesome cover and combo (both artists and content :)). Congrats!

You know I love this piece, Kahlil! These guys go at it emporer-style. And you can almost hear the haughty barbs flying! Not only is this a sweet cover, but to get all the process, too, is so rare and cool. Man, I hope Marvel gives us this moment! 🤞🏼 

Tartaglione dark inks and thick lines are perfect with Wilson here. Totally gives it that classic marvel feel. And what a great Namor page! Wilson was totally doing an Everett homage, too, with that great school of Everett Fish, and those great action angles. Yeah, I can see why you had to snag this off of Heritage. Imperious Rex!

Wow, yeah, Harren would be incredible on a Fourth World book. I never thought of it before, but his wonderful, aggressive, gritty style would be perfect to do kirby work. This composition is simple and perfect. And he's clearly a huge fan, adding that awesome Kirby Machinery. Long live the king!
