Boy do I love this piece, seared into my brain ever since Marvel published it wide in their books that month. A great image and nostalgia= home run!

I heard that Barry pencilled this ad from top to bottom and then inked it the other way around, just for fun... Nice way to come up with a great piece, I'd say!... Oh, and I think you should consider changing the title of that gallery from "Misc. Art" to "Major Art"! Just a suggestion...
