Thank you Erik!

Your welcome and happy collecting!!! Although...it will be difficult to top that one! Is this your favorite piece of art you own? Mine was tying to get a "Dark Phoenix" direct from Byrne which I finally did. The Death of the Phoenix issue was the first comic I ever read as a kid.

SWEET! I love the adaptation of the Zahn books. Dark Horse found some great artists to visualize it.

Thanks! I LOVED the adaptation of those books and artwork/inking of Dodson/Nowlan. You are absolutely right; DH found a couple of amazing people to visualize it and the finished work was fantastic! Thanks for the comment!

Maria Coppola said:
Great piece. Love Whelan especially Elric. I own one also and I have to say it is one of my favorite pieces in my entire collection. Awesome dragon! Michael is unmatched when it comes to his depiction of the nefarious dragon. Terrific, absolutely terrific!

Thanks for the great comment! I too love his artwork. I especially loved his artwork for the Incarnations of Immortality books. Such a great artist. Wish I had more!!

Michael Whelan - Dragon
Owner: Erik Merkel

Comment posted on 7/5/2011
I love it. Well....anything Michael Whelan! The frustrating thing is since it has art on both sides which side to display? Love the Dragon and am a big fan of Elric. Decided to just put a piece of glass on the back of the frame so it can be flipped to display the other side. Thanks for the comment!

Wow!!! Does this series bring back memories. I followed it through all of it's different publishers from the very beginning, and then missed the very last issue. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I loved this series and like you followed it clear up until it was only a online comic. When the opportunity came along to purchase the art I went a little crazy and bought a whole bunch! I have several more to post. Enjoy!

He really is a great nice guy. I talked to him and the next one I get will be the green costume Phoenix flying left to right so the two will fit together.
