Sweet! I loved Stan Woch's art during the 80's, especially on Airboy. You ended up getting yourself a really fantastic cover example here with this one!
Great cover from an enjoyable series that I read as back issues in the late 1990s. Chuck Dixon was the writer for the entire run. Eclipse had a number of decent series in the day, from the legendary Miracleman to other books worth checking out like Mr. Monster, Crossfire, Scout and Beanworld.
beautiful piece. how Airboy was even able to squeeze words out of his lungs. while being shot at by a helicoptor is beyond me. as this is truly a terrifying image and an amazing pick up. congrats
From what I can see here, Young Jan-Michael Vincent is being betrayed by Ernest Borgnine inside a high tech military helicopter codenamed: Airwolf. It aired on the Eclipse Channel for 4 seasons with intrigue and spy stuff.
Otherwise, it was an 80's indie title updating a golden age character. The revival by Chuck Dixon and Tim Truman was a great success. A flood destroyed Eclipse's offices and back issue stock that they were selling and they eventually went out of business in 1994. Yadda yadda Yadda, Todd McFarlane bought out Eclipse. You may see Spawn fight Airboy one day.
I owned this cover for many years. Like you, I was instantly drawn to it. She's a beauty!
I think Kubert is flying the attack chopper. ;) Great cover! I dig the angle Woch used, and the old style war comic cover. I was not as into Airboy, either, but this cover would grab me, too. It's great. Congrats!
That Apache is spot on! Awesome find and nice addition bud!
