Thanks so much. It is a very beautiful page indeed.

This is a beautiful piece and so emblematic of the artists's work as well. Doctor Strange is not an easy character to do well as it requires the right depiction, artistically, of the atmospherics as well. If there is one person who has been criticized for overpaying, it is me (even though the critics often didn't realize I was the owner). But what matters is that the artwork concerned matters - to you. Whatever it cost, I know that it means more to you than any material valuation. Many congrats, Eric.

This is an excellent page with a very nice and flowing layout/design as well. Many congratulations, John!

Many thanks and, although I must have said this before, you have an amazing collection of original art.

This comment comes over a decade late, but better late than never! A wonderful page - many collectors underestimate the impact of a nice villain page. Many congrats on this wonderful page from the King of Comics!

Many thanks, Toni. I was not familiar with the inker either, but he did manage to ink Ditko's pencils really superbly.

Many thanks, Felix. I know I've already said this many times, but I wonder if Ditko could have done better if he had inked this piece himself. And because of the subject matter (invisibility), the final result is quite stunning.

Many thanks, Miki. I must honestly say that I wasn't aware of this series until I came across this piece.

Many thanks, Nick. It really looks wonderful in person.

Many thanks, Kavi. That's a great description and analysis of the page. You CAN afford a nice Ditko page and I trust that one will come your way soon. Even some of his later Marvel pages are still just about affordable.

Many thanks, Michael. Do take care.

Many thanks, Ron. Yes, the inking is absolutely superb and so true to Ditko's pencils.

Many thanks, Rubén. Yes, the combination worked out so well indeed; he must have poured out his heart and soul into this piece.

Many thanks, Jared. You are absolutely spot-on. It's simple, but not simplistic. Tim was a wonderful artist and it was very sad to lose him so young.

Many thanks, Marcus. The inks here are exceptional. Of course, Ditko's style was unique so if, as you say, the inker was diligent, the end product would be excellent.

Many thanks, Rick. Yes, I must confess that I hadn't heard of Willy Blyberg up till now and had to do a little research myself. His inks here, however, are really fantastic and if I was told that this was all-Ditko, I think that I'd be none the wiser.

Many thanks, Alberto - especially coming from a collector with such an amazing collection himself.

Many thanks, Eric. For a piece that truly moves one (even from a so-called lesser title) requires patience but, in my experience, one just has to be ... patient. It is always possible. And I found that there is no point aiming for something impossible for one's finances. So for Frazetta, I settled on a very nice Western piece and a Johnny Comet strip. An artist's skill is always evident and these pieces more than filled my need for a couple of Frazetta examples at a reasonable budget.

Many thanks, Jared. Yes, the depiction of his invisibility is excellent. And many congrats on your truly stunning Dr. Fate artwork!

I love Dr. Fate and had not realized how many Dr. Fate fans there are out there. This is a truly stellar piece! Many congrats, Jared!

Many thanks, and many congratulations on some wonderful additions to your stellar gallery!

Alex Ross's artwork is unique and any piece by him is a win. And this is a particularly wonderful one. Many congrats!

What an excellent combination as well as artistic execution! Many congrats, Ilia!

Many thanks, Bill. I count myself really fortunate to be able to "unite" these two pages together in order to have a complete artistic record of this particular published page in the series.

Many thanks, Steve. I trust that you are keeping well. Do take care.

Many thanks, Nick, as always, for your kind words and encouragement.

Many thanks, Rubén, for this very valuable insight. The color art is really superb to view in person and, as mentioned, is unlike the traditional color guide; it is a work of art in itself.

Many thanks! Yes, reunited is a very appropriate word to describe what has happened as I thought that I had missed the boat some years back when I believe this piece first became available.

What a wonderful piece of artwork from two artists who really resonated with each other. Many congrats!

Many thanks, Kavi. Yes, it is so nice to have the original artwork as well as what is essentially the final printed version of the same page. The color plate is something else and is certainly original art of a sort in its own right.

Many thanks, Anthony. And I totally agree with you. OT, but many congrats on an outstanding Catwoman original art collection.

Many thanks, Ron. It has been a long time coming but I am glad that it finally happened.

Many thanks, CIB, for such kind words. I was so glad to see this piece and was even gladder that it was possible for me to obtain it.

Many thanks, Tony. It is always a little hit and miss in our hobby and so I was glad to finally have the set.

Many thanks as always, Toni, for your very kind words. In this hobby, patience is a virtue as it did take some time before the opportunity arose to "marry" both these pages together.

Many thanks, Marcus. Excellently put!

What a cool cover - with two great artists in combination to boot. Many congratulations, Rick!

Excellent analogy!  Many thanks, Rick!

Many thanks, James. Yes, this is especially so because, as mentioned, the color version is very cool artwork in its own right.

What a wonderful page with a killer first panel! I am sure that this brings back many happy memories for many people. Many congratulations, Jordan! 

Thank you so much, Jordan. I trust that you are keeping well. How time flies!

This is a great follow-up page. It isn't that common to be able to obtain two consecutive pages from the same issue nowadays. Many congratulations!

The best feature of your postings is your description. And, yes, this page rocks too - and from your favorite artist as well! The content is very significant too and the artwork is excellent!

Many thanks, John. I never do that - as the old saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do!

Many thanks, Joe. Apologies. This is a really great piece of artwork.

Many thanks, Toni. Yes, it is and, as mentioned, it is hard to believe that this was just a commission.

Many thanks, Peter. Gene wasn't easy to ink well but Joe was a master inker.

Many thanks, Greg. And have replied.

Many thanks, Corey. Do take care.

TYVM, Kavi, TLK2UL8R!
