Editor: Hey Steve, we need yiou to come up with a street hero that's part Dark Knight, and Brother Voodoo and plays the saxaphone.

Englehart: err, ok, what do we call him?

Editor; I dunno, some kinda Night Man, whatever,

Englehart: Night Man it is.

Editor: No way that passes TM search. But that's a working title for now.

Legal: Night Man TM aplicaton approved.

Englehart & Editor: No effing way!?!?!?!

Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I've got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah I'm all over the place

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you
When you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man

And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please
Please

Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you

When you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please
Please

This does not suck.

If this the What If? Issue where the Flaming Carrot becomes the Herald of Galactus?

1st comment!

how funny this ended up with you! I got it in trade years ago and then traded it away years ago!

Fun page, I have the page after. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerydetailsearch.asp?artist=Pat+Boyette&GCat=3300

taking this to 11....

this would look even better if it were in my gallery next to page 7...

well that's awesome!

Is this part of the Garfield/Cap cross-over versus Dr. Fautus?

Wow, never seen this before. And this actually came out somewhere between XT #10 and #11 beleive it or not- that probabty works in your favor as Mark's technique was really refined at this point. This might have been his peak.

this needs 10 comments, and then 10 more. This is THE Rowena piece.

how does this not have a comment? This is superb.

This is one of John's best, even more impressive in person. You are quite fortunate he let this one go. Congrats.

Once of the greatest Team Up stories, but I might be a little biased :)

who's the dude that bent over and sharted in front of Power Girl?

Fun Fact, all the art I have ever owned was acquired during the Elizabethean Era. I've yet to buy art in the Corlean Era, so, to your question, that's TBD. 

Weird Al can't touch this!

Marcus, you've outdone yourself this time! Even the Oak Ridge Boys can't top that!

I don't knoiw why I got this. I don't know why you let me. Youre an enabler Steve. An enabler. I'll trade it for an E.R. Cruz page! 

what's 1-185?

This is the best Kubert page Steve K never posted!

neato!

YABELIT is sweet, 'TILEBAY selz 2 cheap!

that's a great page, really nice inking effects. Congrats Mike.

I always felt like this was a subtle nod to Frank's Famous Funnies #214. Such a great piece. Congrats Glynn!

I thought this was an exceptionally fun page on the face of it. Congats Glynn.

this is extremely cool.

made it an even 20! But seriously, very cool. This plays to Robbin's strengths.

Say, while your'e at it: could you send me a hi-rez scan of this page so I can fix the missing text of the word balloon? LOL.

thanks Glynn!

lucky #13

This is outstanding. Congrats 

awesome piece! Happy birthday indeed!

So happy for you Frosty that you finally got this!

I think Steve D is eating his words now.

Scott Summer's having a bad day.

extra points for oblique Rom reference

How Dreddful!

OMG- that last panel!  This is like Sophies Choice. 4th best page?  Imagine if Mike had done a Defeneders Annual like he did Avengers. What might have been.

Steve, how do you do that vooodoo that you do?

thanks Mark! Did you get any of the others? Ruben told we 3 other people also inquired about the page. There were at least 3-4 that were pretty awesome. The whole issue was gorgeous.

no comment :p

Ironically enough Dave, the last time I got somthing from Ruben, before this Swamp Thing page, was a Hulk #228 page 13 years ago!

I approve this comment.
