Beautiful Buscema page. Love the bottom panel with Tchalla guiding Odinson and other key avenger members. Great start to 2019
Spectacular pickup. The art is striking but the dialogue. Whoa. Just great piece. Congrats.
Yup, John, my thoughts exactly when I was bidding on it. The dialogue was key! Thanks for the comments, all!
Great looking page by Big John but the dialogue really seals it for me!
Wow! What a very nice way to start a Buscema and Black Panther collection and the new year! Congratulations!
It's always something special to own a page where a main character declares his own name and identity. An excellent choice for the first Big John's piece in your collection!
Totally agree, Davide - some of my favorite pages! Especially cool here considering why the name was changed in the first place. And as you do like these name/identity declaration pages be sure to check out my Lim Silver Surfer and Neary Captain America splashes - I think you'll dig 'em! Thanks for the comment!
Talk about composition. That last panel: sigh.
Nice!!!
The Avengers team led by BP on a half splash page by Buscema! Doesn’t get any better than this! Great way to start the New Years K!
Black Panther and Conan-esque characters. Very cool!!
Wow what a page buddy! Bravo!
Great story-telling page! Love the interaction of Stark and BP!
A key moment in the life of the character! And I also love this exquisite" "meanwhile, the villains are watching" moment! Great pick! Congrats!
Congrats on your first Big John page, welcome to the club and keep 'em coming!
Thank you, thank you, Tommy! Glad to be a part and I do hope to keep it goin’! BTW that JB Wolvie collection you’ve put together is some great stuff!
Mavelous and classic piece by the masters - congrats !!
Got kinda long-winded with my last comment, so here I will just say, "WOOOOOOOOOOOW!"
Actually, *this* is the page where I should have mentioned how cool it is that the Black Panther is currently the chairperson & leader of the new Avengers team in the comic books. Cuz here he is leading them again so many years earlier.
Yup Paul, I agree, it is cool to see! Wondering if T'Challa's new Avengers leadership role in the comics is a foretelling of things to come in the MCU?! We shall see! Thanks for the comments, man!
Great page, great shot team and a bit of Conan as well!
You can just tell Buscema enjoyed drawing this!!!
You can't go wrong when Big John draws the Avengers, and this is a timeless example. Congrats!
Always loved this one....Mooney on big John is amazing !
You wrote the perfect description for this page. As the "Black Panther Guy," you have the perfect BP page in your collection. What more could a collector following a theme ask for?
What a classic looking piece of wonderful comic book art! I haven't read Silver Age Avengers or anything before Busiek's run for that matter, but now I want to read through more of John Buscema's work. My favorite part of the page is the final panel where BP has the lead and warns his team of impending danger. I'm starting to understand narratively why you appreciate BP's character so much.
Thanks for sharing!
Hey, much appreciated, Ryan! Definitely a piece that hits on a few collector fronts for me :)
I actually didn't know a lot of Silver and Bronze stuff myself. My BP reading was more modern stuff, too, but as I grew as a fan of the character I went back and read up on some particular stories. And knowing, art-wise, that John Buscema worked on the character almost as much as anyone in the Avengers title...had to check it out, y'know?!
And it's cool you can see in part what I like about the Panther with this page...ALWAYS cool when it comes to OA :)
Wow awesome Buscema page!! You got quite the collection!
Big John could do no wrong. Killer page with Black Panther leading the way!
John Buscema Panther! This is the BP of my youth, when T'Challa was my favorite Avenger with the coolest costume around.
Was?! ;) Thanks, gene! Still a fave of mine, and you know I agree on the fave Avenger and cool costume parts :)
Gorgeous page by Buscema and Mooney! Nice composition and excellent figurework! I love that lower panel with all the omnious figures in the trees watching our heroes below them. Great dramatic setup!
I have a page of this story too, great story!
Jaw-dropping last panel, big John still rules, huge congrats !
Fantastic classic Big John page. Congrats!
Great JB Panther page....Mooney's inks suit most well, by letting the pencille shine. Cobgrats.
Buscema is da man!!
Wonderful page especially the last panel, great pick, great congratulations
Fantastic Mooney inks, a great half-splash with a superb angle from JB, and a bit of character history thrown in - superb page!
