Wildcats #21 page 14 - Savant and Majestic recruit Tau - Travis Charest & Troy Hubbs

I got this page from Richard Friend back in March when he was raising money to remodel his home studio so the first part is what he wrote about the page.

"This is a great page from issue 21 Wild Cats. I remember getting this back in around 1997 and being so excited. I loved this page in the book and to be lucky enough to get a chance to own the original was an amazing opportunity! There's a fun joke in it also. Travis and his inker Troy I guess were very close friends and would always be hanging out together so they got the moniker "Troyvis" so the monster in the tank looks a bit like inker Troy Hubbs ! (I guess the little monster is supposed to be Travis??) lol"

While the main team is off Earth, Savant and Majestic are recruiting a new Wildcats team and it's kind of slim pickings so they are making some questionable choices especially with Tau here. He's a Tactically Augmented Organism. Simply put he's super smart and very manipulative. Which would lead into the Point Blank mini and Sleeper series later on as well as the Wildstorm Coup d'etat event.

By this point Travis's style is really starting to develop into what I consider my favorite era of his creative output.
