THOR 421 PG,18 / CAPTAIN AMERICA / FRENZ & SINNOTT P.S. "HAPPY B-DAY, JOE"!

Here's a really sweet page by the amazing combination of Ron Frenz & Joe Sinnott. I really dig how poor Cap takes a slight step back after Thor just gives him this look of rage like; "BACK OFF, I GOT THIS"!. You simply don't want to piss off a thunder god. Also, Thor swinging mighty Mjolnir swiftly, in a tight circle, then cutting loose, letting his URU hammer propel him skyward. Some classic stuff. Always an extra bonus when you score a page from a story that you remember so fondly. And this one was a most memorable ark. No doubt; Ron at his penciling best(*always an artist I feel was born too late. He would have stood proud amongst the rest of the silver age giants of the 1960s*). But then there's that incredible inking by the very best comic book inker who ever lived; Mr. Joe Sinnott. Joe was magic. He took the raw pencils, of any artist, and turned their humble panels into mini-masterpieces.
No matter who the penciler was, you ALWAYS knew that it was Joe Sinnott's mighty/ tight inks involved with the finished product. Thus, this is why I chose this particular page, showcasing
Joe's God-given talent. Further, most artists have a certain place in time where their art was considered at it's peak. This rule apparently never applied to Joe Sinnott. He was always at the top of his game. And I've always found it amazing. So now, upon reflection, I'm saddened to know what a comic book legend we all lost here on CAF, and beyond. I personally didn't comment on his recent passing. I chose to await this gentleman's birthday, rather to honor his life, instead of his death. But then, legends like this never really die. God blessed Joe with a great gift which he shared with all the rest of us. He sure was blessed, and in turn, so are we. And although we miss you, rest easy, Joe. And give Stan, Jack, & John our regards in that big Bullpen in the sky. God keep you always.
