Yeah, life in the age of COVID can be a real bummer at times. But scoring a nice splash like this one sure helps to brighten things up. Congrats buddy!
Ron Wilson was THE Ben Grimm artist of the 1980s, as demonstrated by this page.
Great memories from this series. Cool splash!
That's life
-That's life-
That's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
Personally, I think this pieces was the best buy from that sale! Glorious Thing art! Way to go!
Great grumpy Thing splash! Signed by both artists as well. I love the little details in the room, the sporting trophies, the cigars, the oversized boots and the worn, crumpled coats in the wardrobe. The picture of a rocket (the one from their ill-fated flight?) and the penant at the top for 'Stan Lee presents' all create a sense of a life trapped between a succefful college past and an awkward, unwanted present. Lovely page!
Great pick-up Paul, where do you find this gem? Congratulatios..!
Life stinks! But this splash doesn't!
Wonderful splash!!! Bravo Paul!
Very nice Thing splash !!! Black suit fits Ben so well ;o)
Not much of a heroes welcome for Benjy from Battleworld...It could've read "Love stinks!", too. What an arc here, as you said. This was a big turning point in the Thing's story, sending him to some frustrating places. Is it any wonder why we love the character? This is a Fantastic splash by Wilson and Layton, as you'd expect. Another great Rubén pick-up! Congrats!
So cool!!!
Hahah Poor Thing Hating Life! Great Splash Mentor!!!
Just a great opening title splash and if you wanted a prime Ben Grimm example you could do much worse! That starting line, "Life Stinks" is totally Ben...and regardless, on the flip side he always see the bright side, makes the most of things, and always helps out others despite the "stinkier" times :) That's the thing with the Thing. Congrats, man!
Fantastic title splash!!! Where the heck did you get this beauty? Congrats, Paul
I'm a big fan of Ron Wilson's Thing and this is a superb example, congrats Paul!
Beautiful splash
I remember this series well and read each issue as they hit the stands. Great page and terrifc example of Ron Wilson's underappreacited work. Congrats and thanks for sharing!
Amazing splash.
Fantastic page!
