Description

A vintage (1984) sketch by the ever-great Bob Mcleod.

Done after his legendary stint on New Mutants and probably around his issues for Star Wars, the obvious sweet spot for a kid of the 80s 😊

Bob�s published and commission work has always been impeccable (up to this day) but when I saw this sketch at auction I was super impressed by its quality. It�s likely a convention sketch and that Bob added a fallen sentinel next Wolvie is impressive in that context.

Wolverine benefits from the usual Mcleod strong figure work. You can see the similarities with Byrne�s work (as their styles share many). He may be a bit beefier than Byrne�s version. I love his face, especially his mouth. He looks ready to rumble, super tense (just look at his trapezes).

Like I said, the inclusion of a fallen sentinel is a true bonus and really elevates the piece as a whole. It also gives a sense of scale to the scene. You will note that this is blue and grey version of the sentinels that Bob redesigned during his New Mutants run. Clearly, the robot has seen better days and the clawed-out eye is particularly gruesome.

Bob has always been known as a very gifted inker so it�s no surprise that I find the inks to be particularly slick here (again, for a convention piece).

Many will frown on the unpublished production in our hobby but when the quality is this high, I�ll happy add a �simple� convention sketch to the collection.
