Description
For one Charleston Chew wrapper and a check for 50 cents, fanboys could receive a copy of Marvel Collector's Edition, a flipbook featuring Wolverine on one cover, and Spider-Man on the other. On the Wolverine side, you can find an 8-page story entitled, "Gimme a Break," that pits Wolverine and Jubilee against the Danger Room's "Maximum Threat Program." With art by Sam Kieth during his prime period on Marvel Comics Presents, this page contains a variety of Sam's motifs: Wolverine in bondage, surreal sentient beings, vice grips, cybernetic skin, Archie-style expressionism, off-kilter paneling, and organic lettering. Lastly, the art also marks a rare instance of Sam using the X-Men insignia on Logan's costume.

Plot: Richard Howell
Script: Larry Hama
Lettering: Ken Lopez & Sam Kieth

9”x10-5/8” with an image area of 6”x9”
Pencil and ink on hand-cut board

Thanks to Anthony Leano/From the Land Beyond for working with me through a pandemic recession!

When I first saw Keith's work I couldn't decide if I was repulused or attracted, but I knew I was fascinated. The more I looked, the more I liked it. Great page, great write up.

When I heard of Kieth's passing, it reminded me of this page because I used to own it. I searched CAF and I'm glad to see it's in your collection.

That's a close degree of separation. I remember seeing this on eBay once, maybe twice. When my friend Anthony offered it up and was willing to accept a cash/trade deal, I knew it found a home. (I think the trade involved a Matt Groening Bart Simpson sketch cover in a CGC Gold Label slab.)
