Nice, and the story makes me laugh but also cry. Thanks for posting!
Fantastic cover! BWS was on fire here!
This is spectacular Andy!!! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Baller.
Excellent !
When BWS came back to Marvel, I remember having a pretty snobbish attitude about his "new" art, feeling that the 70's Conan work was his peak. I would see Weapon X art all over the place, probably even cheaper than what you paid for this piece, and still being pretty dismissive about it all. Of course I eventually realized how masterful the Weapon X material was, but unfortunately not in time to take advantage of pre-boom prices. Congrats on being a lot smarter than I was. (Of course I'm not all that bright to begin with, so don't pat yourself on the back TOO much. LOL)
Stunning, like all his Weapon X art. And the amazing part is you never see the treetops in any of the published versions. Which is a real shame as it adds to the scale and I'm sure BWS intended it that way. Thanks for posting.
The cold and serene safety of the frame is broken by the stir of life in the vast winter setting. A loner in the wild, Weapon X wanders aimlessly relying on instincts and berserker rage to survive the bitter hand of nature. Only to once again be taken by modern technology and scanned to be dissected and studied. Such is the life of a BWS piece.
Incredible cover, so amazing Andy! Thanks for sharing!
Great cover! Congrats!
More than a little impressive uncovering! Love this scene with the trees and the snow. Just an amazing illustration by the master! Thanks for deciding to share it all these years later!
Gorgeous cover! Love the use of negative space.
The running Wolverine image is spectacular of course, but just look at those trees!
Double baller
Love the comic, love the cover and really love the description/story!
WOW Thank you for finally posting this Epic MCP 77 Cover!!
I am not surprised you had it framed for so long. A stunner. Congrats.
Thank you for posting this bad boy! Glad the AE was a good excuse to share this amazing art with the rest of CAF! Every bit of ink on this is so tightly controlled to have a maximum impact. I could stare at it for hours and I'm sure you've done that over the years! Huge congrats!
'Framed for over 25 years, I just cracked it out ' You will never make a professional picture framer with that sort of attitude and technique! Surprisingly unmarked artwork, despite your crude method of removal. Thanks for sharing the lovely artwork.
You da man, Andy!
This piece always makes me emotional. Such a powerful, classic image.
Superb! I could stare at this for hours. It is so evocative. BWS probably had a smile on his face when he looked at this finished on his drawing table.
Another great piece for a great collector!
Beautiful and evocative. Would be a cornerstone of any collection
Fantastic Wolverine cover! Thanks for sharing
Wow, what a beautiful and memorable BWS image! The linework is outstanding, and the composition and mood are perfect
It snowed on prom night.
A gem ! Huge congrats
This cover is awesome!
I'm way underinformed about BWS art but can confirm this is a great cover.
Is it ok to say I really like the way he handled the trees? A+
Everyone loves the trees! Wolvie is a co-star at best.
EPIC!!!
So nice....BWS at his best.
Dumbass indeed, but not so much to pass this beauty up ;) What a lucky dog you are!
A small(ish) Wolverine set against a stark but beautiful natural setting is so counterintuitive, but it's BWS, so it's perfect.
Beautiful! The story is great.
bloody lovely.
Beautiful.
Andy!! Wowzers!! Your killing us here. So cool
Great pickup - look at all those trees!
Stunning art by an amazing artist
Just fantastic and classic!
Fantastic depiction of Logan's loneliness
Wow! Great image, and emotive. And look at those unique BWS lines. Historice piece. Congrats!
Classic
This is truly something special.
Really fantastic to see this. Thanks for sharing, Andy.
It just comes to my mind looking at this and makes me smile your comment to Felix in one of the podcasts: "Don't tell my wife if I own anything that goes for that kind of money..." or something similar, I guess your kids are going to be just fine. Congrats! :)
I've been lingering on this image for almost 5 minutes now...such fine craft on display here.
