Description
Mike Mignola is a fantastically talented artist whose unique style is immediately recognizable in the hobby and indeed in comics generally. It may sound like heresy to say this: while I appreciate his artwork, I am not really into the title he is most famous for (Hellboy), which is no bad thing as artwork from this series (in all its various titles) is very expensive.

So I was very glad when I came across this particular page. Admittedly, only the pencils are by Mignola. However, Carlos Garzon has done a pretty good job, in my view, of inking this particular page. And the page itself is recognizable as coming from Mignola.

I also liked the poignancy of this final page of the series - captured brilliantly by the artists themselves.

The art team of Cosmic Odyssey!  This page certainly comes to a conclusion to remind us of the main purpose of the story about all the hopes and dreams of Krypton now rest with Superman here on Earth.

Very nice an emotional page! I can clearly see Mignola's style in the first two panels even out of his acclaimed HB! Very nice addition!

"Lois, that's just a speck of Kryptonite in my eye."  ;)

But seriously, nice & touching flashback finale page you've got here!

Many thanks, Rick. It is a very poignant page - and fittingly brings this mini-series to an emotional close.

beautiful page in both artwork and storytelling/dialogue/content. that speech at the end is very powerful and emotional for the character. I really enjoy Garzon's inks over Mignola or anyone else as well. congrats and happy (or perhaps belated where you are) thanksgiving!

Thanks so much, Kavi. It is a very striking as well as emotional page and I totally agree that Garzon's inks are wonderful. As Marcus reminded me, both Mignola and Garzon did a splendid job on Cosmic Odyssey.

A beautifully drawn and emotional page that shows that of all superhero origins, Superman's was the most (literally) world shattering.  Not only did he lose his parents, but his entire planet!  And leave it to Superman to turn that great tragedy into something positive to be thankful for.  Which makes this piece very appropriate for today.  Happy Thanksgiving!!

Many thanks, Paul, for an excellent as well as succinct description. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

I love Superman origin images, so this is terrific for that reason alone, yet you also get 3 nice images of Superman along with the destruction of Krypton as baby Kal-El goes hurtling towards Earth!

It may indeed sound like heresy, but it really isn't. I myself, along with many collectors, prefer the style Mignola employed between around 1985 to 1991. So rest assured that you are not alone in feeling the way you do. I will say, P. Craig Russell was, in my estimation, the most complimentary inker over Mignola during this era, but Garzon did a creditable job nonetheless.

Many thanks, Rubén. I love these origin pages too. P Craig Russell is an excellent artist in his own right but I agree that Garzon was no slouch either.

Beautiful and historic!  And we are tied at the hip!  I have the page before!  But your page has so much more raw emotion on Superman!  Congrats CAB!

Great page without a doubt

Many thanks, Anthony. This is wonderful artwork indeed; as mentioned, Mignola has a unique style and it is a real bonus to see this in his mainstream DC work and on a flagship character at that.

Great depiction of an emotional moment. The upper half of Krypton's destruction with that corner moment is quite heartbreaking. Very cool page CAB; major congrats on acquiring this!

Many thanks, Dave. And many thanks for articulating something that was at the back of my mind but which I had not expressed in my description of the piece - the juxtaposition of two very contrasting moments. If I may say so, that demonstrates the mind of a great designer (unlike myself!).

Many thanks, John. Now, that would be far more cheerful than the tragic end to this particular story.
