Secret Avengers #27 cover

For me, the two types of collecting grails are the "supermodels" (who you'll probably just be admiring from afar) and the "real life hot people" (who you might actually have a chance with if circumstances go your way).

When I first got back into art collecting in 2019 (great timing), this cover was the second type of grail for me — an all-time favorite character by an all-time favorite artist. Fast forward four years and circumstances did go my way. Big cosmic thanks to the trinity of Alan, Paul, and Larry for helping make it happen.
