A grand double page celebration of Captain Marvel with the Captain America #193 cover pose and more Kirby New Gods imagery!  A tribute to Kirby greatness, Shazam! lore, and a display of the talents of Frenz and Sinnott!

I loved this piece the moment I saw it. Yes, Kirby like, but more importantly, a Kirby collaborator - Sinnott.

I love this. To me it actually feels like it's Ron Frenz doing an homage of Bruce Timm doing a Kirby/Sinnott homage. So nice!

Thanks.

I'm a Kirby collector who can no longer afford his art, so 'want-to-be-Kirby' is the next best thing. But actually, Sinnott made me want this piece.

Gotcha, Robert. Nothing wrong with that, either. Many collectors have simply walked away from the hobby when they got priced out of what they were collecting, so it's very heartening for me to see that there are still some people who are willing to figure out ways around beinng priced out, so they can still continue to benefit from the joy of collecting art. Sinnott is an all-time great inker, so it's no surprise to me that he was the primary reason for your deciding to go after this piece. Enjoy it, it's wonderful.
