Description

Fantastic pencil work by Brendon.

The cover of MM9 has always reminded me of the decrepit elevated F train station in my Brooklyn neighborhood.  See photo I took of it in the summer of '25.  That's 2025, not 1925, although the station has been around longer than that.

Nice recreation, with so much of the feel of the period brought back. The figure of the Human Torch is perfect.

The classic confrontation that fans have clamored for ever since Marvel comics #1!

Nice recreation of MMC 9! Torch vs Subby, going strong for 86 years but a baby compared to the age of the NYC/MTA subway system. great F train example (lived in NYC/Brooklyn for a decade myself, in Jersey now but still on the train every once in awhile).

Then you know what I'm talking about!  Sometimes the only way I can survive here in Gotham is to imagine this city is populated by my lifelong heroes. :)
