Warlock and the Infinity Watch 12 page 15 half-splash by Tom Raney & Keith Williams

Nice.  Always loves Tom Raney since he was on Storwatch, and Warlock Chronicles.

Picked up a couple of pieces of his art over the last few years, including a fantastic Starman vs Solomon Grundy and he did a fantastic Human Torch vs. Thing commission for me at C2E2 - almost a year ago exactly.  *sniff*

Does the Destroyer's muddled wit grasp the fact that he's returned home? Well, once he sees the mylar, and the giant gawking human, I think it'll click. I grew up with this Drax, too, and really enjoyed this series. One of my favorite comic scenes stuck in my head is this Drax and Smart Hulk standing next to each other trying to look more swole 💪🏼. And, yeah, great fine detail on this page. His skull belt really pops! Great nostalgia + cool art find! Congrats 

Since nostalgia rules in comic books, I think most of us older farts likely prefer this version of Drax, including me. However, I believe attempting to translate this version directly as is and onto the silver screen would've failed miserably and can't imagine he would've looked anything other than ridiculous. Raney certainly had chops early on in his career and this earlier stuff clearly showed he had the potential to get REALLY good, which he ultimately did. It's fun to see this early stuff though, especially if you're into the over the top physique!

Great cartoony detail in the musculature!  Not familar with the book but can see why you like the page.  Raney is definitely underrated.  Congrats!

Congrats, FM!  A fantastic example of early-90’s super-hero goodness...  From Drax’s physique to the fact that the car’s headlights are blazingly bright enough to reflect off the pavement in the middle of the day, to the twisted metal and thrown diver, to the dog urine next to the fire hydrant.. there is nothing here that isn’t in your face and dialed to 11.  I mean, even the CATS are watching Drax land in the first panel.  It reminds me of early Mad magazine splashes, where there was business and life packed into every square inch of the page, and as a viewer you could derive stories everywhere you looked.  This page feels like if you were to set it down on a table in a still room, it would slowly vibrate its way off the edge and onto the floor.  This era’s superhero comics could be “boom time” pop culture excesses, all about “going big or going home”, and Drax does both here :).  A really fun, nostalgic reminder of How Things Were for a bit.  This thing just pulses its way into your cerebral cortex - what an amazing physical object! :)
