Absolutely PRIME era Bernie, working in his wheelhouse, and just killing it (no pun intended).....So much to love here. If you're getting Wrightson this is the era to play in for sure. 

Ow wow...look at that detail. Love Bucky's work....especially on this piece. 

Really great piece. Given its size it must be so impressive in hand. It's got those "Nowlan Knees" I would be able to spot anywhere. He's one of the finest and most underrated artists of the last several decades. Congratulations. 

This works really well as a complete 10 pager. The Batman and non-batman pages together have great balance as one large piece in 10 parts. 

Lol....comic-related body art is no bueno to the lady of the house. Also, my calves haven't been that hairless since the summer '82.

I really like everything about this one, especially his color palette, it really adds a richness to the piece. 

Marcus stole my comment...........

.....dammit I love this page, everything about it. 

I can't believe I am the first one to leave a comment on this (I drafted this comment days ago, sue me), what a perfect Jim Lee piece. This page stands alone in it's layout and action so well that it's hard to imagine you could improve upon it. Those inks? My God, they just sing. 

That signature is really interesting. Do you have any provenance for this piece? It would be interesting to hear the story of when and where it came from etc. 

I believe this was used for the game module "The Teets of November" but I could be wrong. 

That's got to be massive in person! Spectacular

Holy Crap!! That's gorgeous. 

Inspired pickup. Sometimes when you see a cover it hits you immediately that it's a "must have". This is one of those. Very very nice. 

Such a great piece, such an important story and issue in comics history. The "weight" you mention was tangible upon reading this. It really was one of the books that changed everything going forward. 

...and I have to add, one of the most informative writeups I've seen. Darrow's whole process has interested me from the beginning and this is as good a breakdown as I've seen. 

Well, I was thinking more the other collectors getting a restraining order against me. Might make seeing eachother at a convention problematic if I'm forced to be 150 yards away at all times. 

The word that floats through my head on that one is "Restraining Order". lol 

Fricken Spectacular............

Can't go wrong with a Chris Ware, but his faux-advertisements are really something special. 

yeah, that's a beauty alright. Those colors are something else too. So perfectly "Allred". 

C'mon Man!!! This is so good it's causing me physical pain!

So many lessons to take from this: 

1) Don't Trust Brothers,

2) Don't Trust anyone who would be friends with your brother(s),

3) Don't Trust anyone who would be friends with bed-wetters regardless of familial relationship,

4) Always bag your comics before bed...

I think that's it, but I really hope that you've overcome your PEE-TSD. 

Love it when an absolute masterpiece of the medium gets posted so casually....it allows for everyone to hear our collective jaws hit the floor. 

LOL! Thanks for pointing that out. This piece has been posted for so long that it was up before the "media type" and "art type" were options as part of the description. "colored pencils" and "animation" are the first options in each of those drop down menus so when the site updated to add those fields it must have defaulted to the first choice in each.  Now I have to go check all my other stuff posted in 2004-2005-2006 etc to see what else has the wrong designations. 

Such lightning in a bottle, this era for DC, this title for DC, Starlin's work during this time. It just all clicked in a big big way. Love this cover and those Mongul stories from that era. 

Can't go wrong with a Superman Swanderson page. What a great art team!

Cover quality image. No contest!

Killer battle page. 4 panel Anderson action is the cream of the crop of Silver Age DC. 

Kaboom...especially those last two panels.

Oh man! Love the action on this page. Anderson was so perfect on Hawkman!

Completely BAD-ASS... and Baller....and SPECTACULAR!!!!  This story has page after page of knockout action and detail.

That's perfect right there. Just a great example from that series with all the great character elements and a great use of Excalibur to boot. Well Done!!!

This is like ART art, not just art...it's high high-falootin' caviar-scoopin' root-a-toot-tootin' high society-scootin', big boy art!!!!

The very top of the heap of all the pieces I saw. This is TREMENDOUS!

This is such a great example of how the sequential work of comics can be appreciated panel to panel, page to page, issue to issue, arc to arc...and in it's complete issue form it takes on a deeper artistic value beyond the usually page to page snap shot. 

Now THAT is a special cover. Adams brought all his skills and talents to this one. Congrats!!!

That's a Sweet Cover and it's HUGE right? Bigger than normal modern art size. 

Seriously?! How much ink did he use on just this one page. There are four or five different inking styles just on this one page, and all are done perfectly. So great!

ANGRY SAL VILLAIN FACE!!!!!  What a great page!

Kick Ass. This is such a perfect artifact of its time, and still an intact story. NICE!

Kurtzman, so influential and so rich in context. Love this. 

A little slice of history from one of the most important books of the last half century of comics. 

I would take this over most of the AF covers I have seen out there. What great composition. 

Well, if you're going to go top shelf, you might as well go to the very top of that top shelf. Just a singularly perfect example. 

Rare to find one of the pieces that started you collecting, but now you've found them BOTH!! You're living right....

I love this piece. So. So. Very. Much!

This is phenomenal. It tip-toes between entirely fresh and familiarly nostalgic and that is incredibly hard to do. Spectacular!

This page is perfection!!!   It comes complete with Chest-Hair-Variant-Wolverine!!  

An under appreciated era for which I have great fondness and nostalgia. Congratulations. 

underrated series.....congrats! I love the layout on this one.
