I'm completely oblivious to the WildCATS stories but this is one hell of a compelling piece! Beauty.
Lord Emp looks a lot like Marlon Brando. Very cool 90's Charest! His meticulous drawings back then was perfect for Scott Williams to ink as it fit the famed Wildstorm look! WildCATs early issues are definitive 90's Image era fun! This celebration of them is quite a welcomed sight!
Woww wonderful cover, congratulations Bill
I think Charest's facial features were the best of his trinity with Lee and JSC. Congratz on this big boy!
What a jewel of a cover!
Really rare combo of Charest/Williams. Bravo!
This to me is THE definitive WildC.A.T.s image. I think the poster was hanging in every comic book store I frequented at one point, not to mention the house ad as you've pointed out. Congrats on this wonderful pickup!
Great pick-up Bill as early Charest pieces are hard to find ! Been looking for a good one myself,Congrats !
Gorgeous image, Bill! Worthy of your collection for sure!
What a gem! Absolutely love team shots like this, and Charest and Williams really gelled nicely here.
Fantastic cover piece that was used all over, huge congrats!
When Charest took over the art for Wildcats and began to establish his own artistic identity (peaking with his glorious Wildcats/X-men crossover), it was cause for celebration. So I found the choice to use an older piece (1993) that actually predates the works being collected (94-95) as the cover for the TPB interesting. Once Charest became "Charest", there were those who dismissed his early Lee-aping work. But I really loved it. I was probably one of the few who grumbled when he started to move away from it. Of course that all changed after I saw his full evolution. But I really do enjoy both periods of his career. Anyway, I imagine as a publisher it was more expedient to use an older piece than to wait for the notoriously slow Charest to draw a new one. LOL! By the way, I think you and I are part of a pretty exclusive club. We each have our own early Charest Wildcats promo piece. Welcome to the club and congratulations on this beauty.
Fantastic cover - bravo !!
Stellar cover!
Sweet!!!
It looks like he's going to throw a split-fingered fastball. The ref might want to check out the ball, tho, it looks juiced. What a sweet Wildcats promo/cover! Charest and Williams killed it here, with great composition and inks. Very cool score. Congrats!
I just read the Astros signed him as their closer.
Amazing Gem Cover!! Wow!!!
Such a great image!
Gorgeous cover!!
The image looks way better in b&w than colored. Excellent!
Love the rendering! Nice pick up,Congrats!!
Perfect example !!
Wonderful Wildcats and a superb example from the talented Charest, congrats Bill!
I've alway loved house ads and promo art. This is obviously a phenomenal example of that, Bill. Well done!
Never read the WildCATS, but I can see this cover would make me want to pick up the TPB when it came out. Congrats.
Wow incredible Charest example. Excellent rendition of the WILDCATS. charest/Williams combo is great!!
A terrific piece of art! Where did you even this beauty?!
I like the color on the poster version best... it gives the highly rendered line art some space to breathe. I had no idea that Steve Gerber wrote for this series!
Such a beautyful cover with all the details and background. Congrats, Bill
Always loved that fantastic early Charest piece. Jim Lee-esqe but rounder.
Lovely piece Bill. Charest is my favorite!
Great piece and this brings back a wonderful 90th feeling.
Outstanding!
Early Charest work is a guilty pleasure of mine and I actually prefer it to his more "high brow" later work
(which I still like). Great example by a great artist !
Phenomenal early Charest, Bill!
Charest doing his thing back in the day! Great early Wildcats piece and that trademark detail, enhanced by Williams, is on full display. Congrats!
All one could ask for in a WildCATS, Charest, Williams or Image piece for that matter. Just an incredible piece. Congrats
Great example of Charest's early work, graced by Williams' amazing inks. A perfect addition to your Gallery!
There's Lee & Williams and then there's Travis & Scott. I have strong associations with Travis Charleston and Wild CATS and this is just the perfect piece.
Charest is a great, great talent and pieces like this one demonstrate why that it. Congratulations!
Such an awesome piece from the best decade of all time! Congrats!
Wow!
Yikes! "Aesthetic sizzle" indeed!
Beyond impressive; Magnificent...
I read the first four issues of Wildcats to death in some early tpb. This piece is both stunning and classic.
Everyone remembers this piece -- wonderful
I don't say this often, to anyone, but...I want to BE you! ; p
ROCK ON!!!
OMGoodness, Bill!!! Your collection continues to amaze!!! Thank you SO much for sharing the art AND the descriptions with us.
Beautiful Charest example on good Ole 90s Wildcats. Fantastic shot of Grifter
Travis, for me, will forever be tied to these characters. The work he did on WildCATs was astonishing. Every issue got better and better. Congrats on this lovely piece of Travis history.
Classic!
