Awesome! I have one he did that didn't get published. I think he was young and hungry to impress here. His most meticulous inking period.
Thanks Seamus. I think you nailed it with your "hungry to impress" comment. This drawing is nothing if not ambitious. When you look at all his subsequent X-covers, nothing even comes close. The only one I've seen in the same league is your unpublished cover. Very similar in its meticulous rendering.
nice one; i didn't know pst is filipino, now i know haha
Same here. I had no idea until I met him one year at San Diego and he was speaking Tagalog with his wife/girlfriend. I made the same initial mistake with Ernie and Lenil. Since the last names Chan and Yu don't necessarily jump out as Filipino.
ok.so ec is filipino as some say he's chinese, gtk;
having grown up in canada i'm not too patriotic when it comes to my filipino heritage—except when it comes to the comic book artists and food haha; lately i even learned how to pronounce jay anacleto's last name lol
Eric are you instagram? if so, what's your account?
ps, i didn't know lenil is filip until i read your reply hhaha
Powerful cover by the great Philip Tan! I love this image of Logan breaking away from the chains that bound him. The anger on his face is palpable! It's firghtening the way he's looking at the reader as if ready to slice and dice! What's really scary is that left hand reaching out as if to grab us! By putting the reader in the place of Wolverine's tormenter, the cover makes us potential targets of Wolverine's beserker rage! Another amazing work of art by Philip Tan! He's astonishingly talented! Great pick-up, congrats!
WOOOOOOWWWWW!!
An awesome very memorable cover!
Thanks buddy! Memorable is right. From the moment I saw the comic on the stands, I couldn't get it out of my mind. Never imagined I would find it, much less own it. But I got lucky. I even have a Tshirt with this image on it. I still remember wearing it to SDCC and walking up to Philip. He said, "Hey, that's my cover!" And I said, "Actually, it's mine." LOL!
