DescriptionJim Valentino, writer and artist for Guardians of the Galaxy in the '90s, left Marvel circa GOTG #27 to help form Image Comics. He originally had planned on staying with Marvel and even had GOTG plotted through Issue #51. However things didn't turn out that way.On his forums, Jim Valentino revealed his original GOTG timeline and it was a kickass rollar coaster compared to the tame stories we got after his departure. Issue #50 was to feature not only the death of Galactus and the destruction of the Earth, but also the death of the leader of the Guardians: Major Vance Astro (who in current Marvel continuity goes by the name Justice). The storyline was so compelling to me, I asked Jim about doing a commissioned cover based on what would have been his final planned issue - #51 - The Aftermath. I pitched the idea of swiping the infamous Crisis on Infinite Earths cover, and I was surprised at how well received the idea went. The artwork arrived only a few days later. So here it is: Jim Valentino's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #51 as it was intended to be, with no Irish Wolfhound. Social/Sharing |
