Wow, Jim Lee BP!! Big congrats KG! The panel layout works so well leading up to the image at the bottom. Makes for a great page, and I love the note on the color guide!
Lol, yeah, that note's pretty good, right?! Reed's like "OK, T'Challa, you're my dude and all, but you're getting a little too familiar with wifey." :) Glad you dig the piece, man - as you note, some self contained top to bottom goodness. Thanks, T, and all, for the comments!
Chocked full of Panthy goodness! I like that final panel where is his putting the mask on to contrast the rest of the page.
baller! That final panel is killer all by itself. Coupled with the finished page including dialogue and context makes this page come alive. Congratulations on the acquisition.
((( plus it's a Jim Lee!?!? daaaaaaaamn! )))
Now you have a Jim Lee BP that's above and beyond, considering that there probably aren't too many. Congrats on this massive pickup. Some dynamic and beautiful panels to go with this extraordinary pickup.
Wow, what a score! Jim Lee drawing some gorgeous Black Panther panels. Congrats on this beauty!
Another badonk-a-donk!!! Your usual artistic acumen shines through again in this fantastic page that ends in a stunning reverse-reveal! Congrats KG!
AZZURI FOREVER!!!!
Big congrats! Truly fantastic by a legendary artist team.
Jim Lee draws a great looking Black Panther! Big congrats!
Great flow of the panels...great storytellng. Love the overlaying of the art. Congrats.
Congrats on the page. Congrats on the color guide and you know now, that going forward you will have to find the color guides to every new pick up! jkjk.
Nice FF and Black Panther page, congrats!
Nice score, Kahlil. Great page featuring Black Panther and drawn by Jim Lee! Well played.
Back in black
I hit the bank
I've been too long, Jim’s glad to be back
Yes, I'm let loose
One I choose
That's kept me prowling about
It’s Reed being three of five
'Cause Sue’s lookin' all fine
Forget the herbs 'cause I never die
I got nine lives
Scott’s lines
Abusin' the vibranium and running wild
'Cause Jim’s back
Yes, Jim’s back
Well, Jim’s back
Yes, he’s back
Well, he’s back, back
Well, he’s Panther black
Yes, he’s back in black
I mean, perfect song for the King o' Wakanda :) "Well he's Panther black...yes, he's back in black!" Just tried singing/screaming/screeching (it's a mix of those 3 with Brian Johnson's delivery!) those lines myself. Thanks, Marcus!
Not too many FF Jim Lee pages that are put up for sale. Congrats on getting a great one!!!
Gadzooks! What an epic score, K... When you take a swing at crossing names off your "official" BP checklist, you don't mess around! And an absolutely titanic Panther-centric page it is, too; T'Challa the man, the gear, and the legend...and all by Jim Lee?!? Fantastic. (Four, even!). Hard to decide if I like panel 5 or 6 better... so I'd best be safe and go with the fully masked Panther at the bottom of the page, almost hiding in shadows with the other panels floated over him... So good. I actually -really- like the first half of the run of the Jim Lee 'Heroes Reborn' books (FF and Iron Man). It was the Ultimate line, pre-Ultimate line, and it was really fun to reboot some mythology in a modern way, influenced by all those past stories we loved. Marvel would hit paydirt with the Ultimate line just a few years after this, but I find this experiment really, REALLY interesting. Congrats on getting such a killer piece (PLUS the color guide?!? Are you kidding? lol ), K! This is the collection in which it belongs!
Panel 5...or 6....or 7....tough choice. I'll cheat and go with "all" :) Each a doozie on its own but I think the ol' adage "the whole is greater than the sum of its part" applies! And yeah, really enjoyed those first 6 issues of Heroes Reborn FF. Was interesting reading the origin revisited, but for me, was definitely coolest just seeing Lee's takes on the classic characters. I mentioned the FF, BP, and Doom in the description, but there was also the Surfer, Namor, Galactus, and the Super Skrull! Even as I write this I can visualize a ton of those images. Appreciate the comments as always, Jason!
I'll give you $200 for this page right now! Heck, I'll even double that to $400! Haha, how prices have changed over the years. This is an AWESOME Jim Lee Black Panther centric page. Every panel is just beautiful. And those last three...As Barney was so fond of saying to Ted in HIMYM---"Suit Up!!" Major major congrats!!
It's a trip, ain't it?! "$200". Ha! When I hear older collectors say "the good ol' days" I'm thinking "you mean the unreal bestest of the bestest days" lol! And yeah, man, those last 3 panels. Ha ha, "Suit Up!!" Then I'll take the other half of Optimus Prime's saying - "...and roll out!!" Thanks, Paul!
Fantastic Lee piece of Tchalla. Congrats K
Awesome piece and love all the panels, but the gloves at contrast to the heavy shadow is very eye catching in the splash. Love it.
So cool !! I'd greatly enjoyed Jim Lee's FF and this page is a standout !
Sure, Heroes Reborn was absolute shite, but the great thing about collecting original art is that you can still love the art even when you despise the story it was drawn for. Congrats on the big score, dude!
Like you I was excited to see Jim Lee draw BP. Fun page.
Congratulations! Gorgeous page!
Ooh, that's rare.
Wow man!!!!! Your collection is growing in number and quality almost weekly!!! huge congrats on this new one! Last panel (let me say)... underneath splash is killer!!!!!
Major congrats on another big get my friend! Wonderful BP all over the page from a comics legend.
Black Panther and Jim Lee! What a great piece to check off your list!
Bottom panel payoff is the money shot - sooo goooood! Congrats!
Awesome Jim Lee/Scott Williams FF page! What a cool page with Reed and Sue meeting T'Challa in his own kingdom! There is such a nice flow through the panels leading down to the killer panel of T'Challa pulling down the mask of the Black Panther. Gorgeous in every respect!
Really, really hard to fathom how insanely difficult these Lee BP pages must be to find, much less pry loose, man. Winner.
Yeah, man, patience and persistence. Can get rough trudging along at times, no doubt. But then, I stand up straight, get that confident air, do one of these - fortnite-black-panther.gif (498×278) (tenor.com) - and get back to it ;)
Thanks for the add, Steve - super happy with this one!
A Jim Lee Black Panther page! Wow Wow Wow! There is some great storytelling on this page. Thank you for sharing and congratulations!
amazing art and storytelling. stunner! congrats brother
Fantastic page!! Congrats
Wow wonderful page, Lee's work in F4 is spectacular, a masterpiece that stands out in a particular period of comics, great pick Gearon, congratulations
Congratulations on a scoring a great BP by Jim Lee!
Congrats on getting a Jim Lee FF page (with a Black Panther suit-up sequence)! I feel like Jim and Scott were firing on all cylinders then, and their art for this series was just fantastic (no pun intended). I'd be really curious about the backstory of the "finger pulling" line on the color guide though :)
Thanks, Kin! Actually just yesterday I flipped through my FF Heroes Return trade and I'd have to agree - page after page after page there winners, no doubt. Really looked and felt like Lee and Williams went all out on the issues they did together. FANTASTIC stuff ;) And yeah, on the color guide - I wondered if it was just something Joe came up with alone when coloring, or if there was a bigger story there. I may found out yet :)
This is a huge get. Jim Lee FF (with Thing obv) is a real target for me so I can imagine how jacked you were to score this one! The masking up scene is just beyond.
Jim Lee working his magic on the creations of Lee and Kirby is something special. Congrats on this wonderful pickup!
Oh yes!
This page is in the perfect collection. I love BP on the bottom. So cool.
Nice one!
Nice! So rare to see Lee & Williams take on BP...and you managed to snag an example? How cool is that!
Yes, this page is just oozing homages to the Lee/Kirby tradition, but what could be better? This is as pure a BP page you can get and it's Lee/Williams, so, yes, it ticks all the boxes!
Thanks, Al! That panther in panels 3 and 4 is STRAIGHT out of page 4 of FF #52, and overall it's just really cool to have this suit up scene from that classic book but Lee and Williamsonized!
A BP page from the master and a cool shot of masking up! What else could be on that checklist of yours? Congrats on this epic pick up!
The last panel!...chef's kiss
