Gil Kane! Defenders! The Thing! Marvel Bronze Age magic!
Classic!!!
Spectacular cover. Love Bronze Age Thing covers. Bravo!
Kane artfully crams a ton of imagery into this beauty of a cover!
Fantastic cover!!!
So much love Kane ! Bronze age gem !
When I began art collecting over 30 years ago and Bronze covers were much more affordable, I was initially turned off by them because I hated that the logo area took up so much of the image space. But in the hands of someone who is a true master of design and composition, like Gil Kane, it certainly didn't seem to be an issue. Stunning cover from my all time favorite super group title.
Love the composition here. And the brushwork. Terrific!
Love this!
Wow, a fabulous rendition of the ever lovin' blue-eyed Thing! For me, that's who this is about. The Dr. Strange and Valkrie "guest appearances" are just gravy! May I STRONGLY suggest though, Bill, that you DON'T crop the borders out? Seeing the old boards is what distinguishes this stuff from being scans of black and white European reprints. Most people want to see the ageing, printers marks and creators notes. I can't stress strongly enough how important the borders are, and now much better the scans look WITH them.
Done .
Congrats, Bill. Thanks for sharing all these beauties. It's amazing flipping through your collection.
Romita inks ! MAGIC !!
Very cool cover and It’s Clobberin’ Time takes it over the top!
She's a beauty Bill!
I agree, this cover tells a whole story with one beautiful image. Every character is rendered largely and exquisitely. And yeah, having the Thing rushing into battle yelling his patented battle cry? ... That's pure magic. Fantastic grab!!
I do as well and I simply love this cover!!!
Used to own this one and it’s a good one! Congrats!
Epic Cover. It‘s official: Best Gallery on CAF!
70s Kane and Romita cover sweetness!
Very amazing cover. Congrats on this
Beautiful!!!
Strong Cover !
A super cover for sure
Awesome!!
That’s why you should not call yourself the Nameless One. Everyone them refers to you as buddy or buster.
Awesome cover by the master !!!
Romita over Kane (like Cockrum over Kane!) was a thing of beauty, as this striking cover shows so well, congrats!!
This is an amazing cover.
Bill, a Bronze Age masterpiece. The Defenders title was one of my favorites when I first starting reading comics. The Thing was also one of my favorite characters. Gil Kane's fluid and dynamic covers were all masterful. This is an exquisite piece of art with Kane at his finest. You are really killing it the last few years. Us mere mortal collectors can just sit back at this point and enjoy the Bill J show and tell!
I've always loved the Defenders, and this is a mindblowing cover !!! Love the Thing, it's clobbering time !!!
I love it!!!
Wow, one my favourite covers, evoking so many childhood memories. It was the start of the Gerber run, and the retun of the Nameless One in a tragic tale of Barbara Norris' past. The layout is superb, with action leaping out of the cover to demand the purchase of the comic. And you have to love a "Clobberin' Time". Absolutely stunning cover!
