~The Red Skull~!

Back in the 70's, I believe, Jack Kirby did a series of pencil sketches that eventually became his Heroes And Villains sketchbook. Over the years, Angel's been inking various pieces and he's now selling them on eBay. A nice gift from Angel. On top of the other pieces I got from him he also include this Skull re-creation. Whenever I think of the Red Skull, the character, I always come back to his appearance in Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends and the way the actor let loose when he said, "The ~Red Skull~!". Gloriously over the top. I can't look at this one without hearing that voice.

Original size 11x17

Also, Angel's made no secret of the fact that he's hit some hard times. Please give Angel's eBay page a look see. He's got some great Kirby recreations up for sale.
