Description

The late, great Darwyn Cooke produced a number of these reinterpretations and homages of classics during his all too short lifetime.

I asked him about this one time and he told me he did them to “relax.” Relax? Wow. Think Albert Pujols walking into the batting cage prior to a game. Bam. Home Run. Bam. Another. Bam. Another…

Chic Stone originally inked this milestone splash, one of Jack Kirby’s best known from his Captain America run. Darwyn’s version makes some tweaks — for the better. Most notable are the subtle changes to the face. Cap’s eyes now engage the reader more directly, and overall, his facial expression is clearer and more confident --- and feels more accurate to Kirby’s vision.
