This covers great - congratulations.
Thank you my friend! Just got it in today and I can't stop staring at it. It's (pun intended) a true marvel to behold!
I think it's one of the best pieces he has created in that period;
if you will consider the size of the original art as well, maybe.... it's the best original from that period?
Huge congrats🍺🍺🍺
I would agree. Definitely in the top 3 at worst. But yeah, 19 inches and change by 24 inches snd change? Like I said, it's a behemoth. Lol biggest piece I've ever owned. And thanks so much! Once I get more money I can upgrade my account for bigger/better pics!
Happy for you & good to see this piece in your collection :)
Beautiful piece of work! Glad you were able to grab one of your grails!
As am I. If I can have only one Bianchi piece, I'm proud for this one to be it.
Outstanding. Congrats. Score one for the middleclass. Woohoo.
Right? Again, I tripped into some good luck or it fell onto me! Either way I'll take it.
Fantastic Cover, congratulations
Baller.
This totally rocks!! Outstanding
Stunning!
Thanks everyone! Once ive rebuilt my finances, I'll upgrade my account so I can put up some HD pics for you guys!
Beautiful Cover!
Simply put, I need a word to define jealousy and congratulations simultaneously. This is a masterpiece by THE Maestro. Stunning and a grail piece by anyone's imagination. LOVE it's got a good home.
This is such an iconic and X-cellent piece of work by Simone - congratulations!!
Holy smokes that's stellar.
Fantastico!
If you are going to destroy your bank account this is one of the few pieces you would do it for! Congrats on making this amazing piece yours!!!
Wow, incredible and memorable cover, congrats!
Superb description for an extraordinary piece! Whenever I see someone take the time to compose such a detailed description, it tells me two things. One, just what a special piece it is. And two, just how much the art means to them. As a friend and fellow collector once said to me, that's what it's all about, words and pictures. Seeing somebody post a great piece of art with no write up completely boggles my mnd. It makes absolutely no sense to me that someone could spend thousands of dollars on something, and have absolutely nothing to say about it. So thanks for not only sharing such a great piece, but also for caring enough to share your story about it.
We are in complete agreement, Eric! It makes no sense to me when cats buy pieces and just throw them up as casually as slapping a patch of paint on a wall. One of the most majestic parts of collecting art is the "why". Everything I buy has meaning to me and it's important I share why. Reading a story in regards to a piece is truly equal to enjoying the piece itself, if not more, as it allows us all to look at it damn near for the first time again! Thank you for reading my story and of course for viewing my art!
Whatever happened to just letting the art speak for itself? I have chopped off limbs and emptied my bank account many time to get artwork. I could write a novel about the backstory to artwork I will shortly be posting up.
A truly magnificent and majestic cover, and I really enjoyed your description!
An amazing cover by an astonishing talent! Congratulations on getting this beauty!
Splendid.. what a cover to have!..
This is an impressive piece of art with great characters, congrats!
Wow this piece is awesome! Great get!
Wow, that is a gorgeous cover. Really special. Congrats on your good fortune!
A Majestic work of Epic proportions done as only Simone can!
create!
Huge Congratulations obtaining this Grail with a Narrative equal to the work itself.
I love "Frankly, it's not only a grail for me but a piece of fine art I'm terrified to actually have!"
So true when we actually acquire that rarest of rares and are physically confronted with it. A Heady Experience to be sure.
I wish you a lifetime of caretaking this Gem and thank you for sharing🙏🏼
Wonderful piece !
Simply epic!
Uncanny piece!!!
Congrats. Great choice.
The absolute pinnacle of simone bianchi excellence! Absolutely incredible, such a pleasure to stare at 😀
Wow. This is an Amazing piece. The Titans of Marvel. It's Fantastic
Love the write up on this truly Astonishing in so many ways X-Men cover. The design, detail and style from Simone is gorgeous. Huge congrats on this monumental piece.
Wow, just a killer piece!
WOW! What an awesome piece! Astonishing got me back into the X-Men, I remember that run being pretty good for a while. And this cover is among my favorite X-Men covers of all, it always just stood out. Such a GREAT scene. Hopefully you were able to revive your account afterward too. Congrats!
As you said, museum piece and one of Simone's absolute best. Ororo's and Emma's capes alone are worth the price of admission!
¡Que maravilla!
Beautiful cover!
absolutely beast of a cover! congrats!
This is stunning.
Marvelous!
Fantastica!
I like Simon's take on Wolverine's head piece. It looks a little like Batman's cowl which in theory should strike fear in criminal mutants.
Grandioso!!!
I cannot say anything about this piece that everyone else hasn't already, but what an amazing cover!
This is amazing, astonishing and even uncanny!
I don't know how I missed ths one! It's incredible. Congrats.
Pure beauty
This one is amazing! And such an awesome lineup!
Unbelievably gorgeous...
Congrats on being able to get something that is so important to you. It's a spectacular piece.
Original art always looks better in person, and because of that, I think my brain would explode if I ever laid eyes up this. Fantastic piece.
Simone is not only an incredibly nice guy but an incredible talent! Huge congrats on this! Hell to the No indeed!
Every time you comment "WOW great piece" I remeber that you have possibly one of the great pieces ever haha still stuns me
Hot damn - that's truly outsanding
Touchdown !
This is gorgeous!
Fantastic cover by an fantastic artist. And your description is great, too. Congrats
WOW Congrats here!! Incredible Bianchi Cover!!!
Absolutely stunning cover. Big congrats!
There's so much to love about this! I really enjoyed reading your description, too- thanks for sharing!
It really doesn't get any better than that, congrats!
How'd I miss this?! This deserves a Ric Flair exclamation - woooo!! One of Bianchi's best, and that's saying something, to say the least :) Your scan is solid but definitely gotta be one of those that you can't really get the whole experience to unless you see it in person. I'm sure you've spent many an hour poring over it - I know I would. It's laid out perfectly, and I love the tonal elements throughout. The earth and space background is next level, too. And I've always been a a fan of Bianchi's Cyke! And in your description you also mentioned the Bianchi cover I have - Black Panther/Spidey faceoff in BPMWF #516. That was cool to see :) HUGE congrats, Nash - comment #68 logged!
Spectacular!
I see what you mean about the layers of composition here - you can actually feel their costumes against the skin... incredible!
Wow! Way to persevere for an amazing cover!!
WOW !!! WOW !!! WOW !!! The art of the highest heavens has fallen into the correct caretakers hands
In my opinion one of the most gorgeous three/four piece ever realized by Simone. Masterpiece.
Oustanding cover!! Such a beautiful piece of art by Simone!! Congrats!
To the departed (Christopher James Nash's bank account), may it rest in peace !
The detail in this cover is absolutely incredible!! What a sweet, sweet piece!
Very memorable cover! Congrats!
If it counted everytime I looked at this, your views would be substansially higher :)
This is fantastic! It must be amazing to get to see it in person on a daily basis.
Modern Classic Masterpiece.
Love the opening line in your description. We've all been there. An absolutely stunning piece. Would be a grail piece for anyone. Unbelievable. Green with envy. Very well done, sir. Huge congrats!!!
There's covers, and then there's this!!!
Wow!!! What a gorgeous cover by Simone Bianchi!!!
Congrats on getting this beauty!!!
Stellar cover!
<haha -- I'm here all week. Tip your server!>
I just go digging through all my stuff looking for parts of this to appease myself LOL...you rule. Damn this is pretty.
doooooooooppppppppeeeee
Greatness
This is such a recognizable cover. Whenever I think of this arc this is the image that comes to mind. I have the hardcover that uses this as the cover art as well haha. It must be awesome looking at it up close and it must have been exciting to get it.
Amazing amount of detail!
Great cover!
Just stopping by for a WOW moment. Thought I'd say hi. :) This is simply the best.
🤣🤣Loving that first line in your description. We've all been there. An epic piece, beautifully detailed and deliciously inked. Just amazing. There's worse ways to go bankrupt. A very hearty congratulations!!
I agree this belongs in a museum : imho, it's simply the best Bianchi piece ever and one of the best X-Men covers ever. Breathtaking doesn't cover it. Huge congrats !!!
Wow,how did I miss this, as I"m a big fan of Simones work but haven't found the right piece at the right time you know.Perhaps at OAX I'll find one.Congrats on this beauty my friend!
Beautiful cover by a living legend. Congrats!
beautiful!
Ah-may-zing!!!
