Ultimates Ironman Diamond Direct Box Illo

Bryan Hitch & Andrew Currie

Back in the day, the cover to Ultimates issue 2 was already socked away by another lucky collector. Recently, that issue 2 cover did get put up for sale and sold. Anyway, also close to back in the day, a collector/artist, put these Ultimates box illos up for sale. I'm not sure if this was via a comicart-l posting or CAF or some other way I found out. If I recall correctly, he had Ironman, Hulk, Cap and Thor box illos? I could barely afford one and Ironman was the hole in my Ultimates group and even more importantly it was available.

If only I still had the emails from these types of posts and exchanges. But, over the years for one reason or another, those were lost. But, I did somehow manage to keep image files of the other 3 box illos. So, I can reminisce over them every so often since I haven't seen any of the others posted to CAF.

Thank you Bryan and Andrew for your incredible artwork on this!
