Marvel Comics Presents 136 Story Page 4 half splash (feat’ Wolverine) by Steve Lightle

Congrats on this gorgeous piece!  Steve's work was so intricate and beautiful.  It didn't even need color.  We need more artists like him.  RIP Steve, you are missed.

Always liked Steves stuff. Wonderful sense of design.

An immense talent taken away far too soon. Though this era was already the point at which most fans began disliking his experimental change in style, it is still unmistakably Lightle's. I just have to say that my biggest takeaway from this page is the absolute abundance of textures. There are so many different ones all over this page, tons of them in the first panel alone! I also love that he autographed the page in the same stylized way that he signed his covers. As for Dan Slott, he should've known better! Ugh....

The printed version does not do his inks justice. Lovely piece. 

Looks like Lightle made it more condensed on the page choosing this panel size as well with the art and textures already so dense.  He puts a lot of 90's high enegy in this, but keeps the line for the lady light and delicate.  

I'm happy to find out that this exists today. 

Brilliant and Slashing Inks!! Luv the Cut-Throat Style!!!.......Congrats!!

Another fantastic Lightle, F M, and although that killer first panel has a -pitch perfect- depiction of a Wolverine battle moment that hijacks the viewer's attention (Wolvie totally in Cyber's face, absolute animal-like ferocity, all close quarters brawler, completely undeterred by the size differential), it's the backgrounds on that one that are the star of the show. Amazing detail in the bricks and stonework; beautiful patterns and lighting (way more work than he needed to do!) with the lighting on the second-level platform being the highlight (allowing Wolverine's right hand claws to stand out and not be lost amidst the stonework).  Great detailing through the rest of the page, too (I really am taken with the sweep of the woman's hair in the last panel, as well as the sweep of the villain's cape in the panel before - giving a nice lighting balance).  Lovely tribute to the very fine work of Steve Lightle, F M.  Beautiful piece. 

Great page to honor Steve.  

Outstanding page! Always great to see a Wolvie Cyber battle :)

First thing I thought is that it's a really unique looking page.  Those gritty inks up top, with characters breaking panel, then the shadowed figure...hard to explain but all blends for a visually pleasing page, man.  So yeah, I don't have the words :)  Congrats!

Gorgeous page by Steve Lightle! It's always sad when we lose someone with some much talent as Lightle. Unlike some, I always appreciated his willingness to experiment with style and try new things in his art. Love that top panel with Wolvie tacking Cyber! I love how Logan is drawn small and muscular here. I also love the treatment of the background. The textures that Lightle used here are really interesting. The heavy use of black on this page is really quite striking. Great pick-up, congrats!

Wonderful page by a wonderful artist.
