Description

Yet another great gift from my wonderful wife.

George Tuska is my Iron Man artist. Lots of others have drawn him over the years, but first impressions count and George made that first impression for me on Iron Man.

Kathy arranged the deal through George's wife Dorothy. The experience was great and George is fast despite what Dorothy said. He'd completed the picture before Kathy had mailed the check.

93 years young and still drawing like mad when I bought this. Amazing. Sadly, George passed not long after completing it. It might be his last commission.

Supporting wives like your are great and Dorothy Tuska is a woman devoted to her husband in the fine tradition of many Golden and Silver Age spouses like Roz Kirby, Adrienne Colan, Annie Mooney and Betty Sinnott.

What a dynamic and fantastic piece! George was always one of my favorites, and this battle with the Mandarin is superb. Glad you were able to get this before this lovely man passed on.

Alex, a great Mandarin piece! Tuska was an underappreciated Master artist! Mandarin is my favorite Iron Man Villain. I almost ran out of Iron Man 3 screaming crying. I dont think I have been the same since! lol Now Marvel hopefully will do him Justic in the new Shang Chi movie!
