Tom Palmer's inking is super-fine here. I wish he had inked Sal Buscema more often in the 1970s. Congrats on a great page, Mark!

Great Sal action - the clever angles for the fight scenes - *SPANG* in the second panel, and the (relatively) tamer punch right underneath it in the fifth. Lovely storytelling, and fantastic inks. Nice page!
