Description

Mike Machlan Revisits Jack Kirby:

Jack Kirby created a classic cover of the first meeting between the Hulk and The Fantastic Four in 1963. (FF#12). It would be the first of many, many epic fights between the Thing and The Green Goliath.

The late Mike Machlan takes Jack’s moment in time, and brilliantly adds a second or two to show what happens when the heroes come upon each other. One thing is certain — that cave will never be the same.

Machlan loved classic comics –especially Kirby --- and his recreations and reinterpretations can be found on the Comic Art Fans website and elsewhere. His professional career was much too short.

He added a few seconds and a few fingers and toes to Hulk! Great one.

An excellent re-interpretation of the classic FF 12 cover by the late, great Mike Machlan. I absolutely think Stan and Jack would have loved this.

Congrats on owning this wonderful piece !!

Another wonderful reinterpretation of a classic cover. Machlan di a lot of really great pieces and I was sad to discover that he had already passed away before I'd even discovered they existed.
