Without skipping a beat, Gary Frank followed Dale Keown. Those were some big shoes to fill, and Gary crushed it. Awesome page, congrats!
Such a great string of artistic runs on Hulk. Buscema followed by Byrne, followed by Keown, followed by Frank. It's no wonder he was my second favorite character after Spidey. Really, really, enjoyed Gary's stint on the book. And I totally agree, Dale and Gary's Marvel work was better than anything they did afterwards. Congrats on this great page!
Fantastic splashy page! Yeah, Gary Frank's work in the '90s was great stuff.
I remember and really enjoyed this storyline in Hel. I loved when they dropped heroes in Asgardian realms for stories. They were always so dark and gritty. And totally agree on Frank and Keown, too. Their styles have changed so much. It's fun to see, but my nostalgia is with their later work, too. As for inkers, I found this in the grand comic database: "Joe Rubinstein [as Rubenstein] (pages 1-13); Fred Fredericks (pages 14-22)," so it looks like Fredericks. Great page. Congrats!
Thank you! And totally agreed, always fun when they fused the different heroes and worlds.
Don't mind me. I'm just sifting through the bodies at Hulk's feet looking for a trace of blue fur.
Totally agree about GF assuming the penciling chores after Keown. I was really bummed to hear Dale was leaving the book as his work really spoke to me (as I was when Sal left, as I was when McFarlane left, etc.) but Gary Frank kept the book at a very high level and continued to make the merged Hulk his own style. This is a great page - congrats!
Wow, fantastic page! Congrats!
such a great score! Gary has such a unique cool style
Fantastic Hulk page! That bottom panel is amazing!
Oustanding splash of the Hulk doin' what he do...raging! The Hela headshot is a nice bonus, too, and definitely ups the storytelling factor. Totally agree regarding Keown and Frank's earlier vs. later work, though I'm much more familiar with Keown's. Different, but both equally good. And I agree. Love seeing these "older" pieces, and they definitely feel more memorable knowing things have changed. Again, not for better worse, just different :) Congrats!
