Description
Here is the first Elder of the universe for my OHOTMU collection. It is also my first Ron Lim piece as well so it’s a double win for me. Now, as far as I remember, I don’t think that all Elders are evil per se, but Astronomer is blasting Nova in the bottom panel so he can’t be completely on the up and up. Therefore, I consider him to be a villain and a legitimate addition to my army of evil.

Special thanks to Fisch B. for giving me 2 chances to acquire this piece! It seems that nefarious comic book villains always gravitate towards me…

You got a Charlie Brown piece in with the deal!  I don't know about his evil status either after all that trauma he's been through as a lovable loser during his childhood!  I'd consider Nova's appearance a bonus!

Yes, it was a pleasant surprise to see that the panel below was actual art and not a paste-up like the text.

Another worthy add to the not-the-most-know bad guy collection!  And yes, a first Lim piece!  That's big.  AND cuz you got his Nova, too!  Congrats!

Thanks, K. Gear!  Astronomer blasting Nova was indeed sweet!

Very cool that you got the whole mock-up with the text boxes

It did surprise me that the '89 Marvel Universe Handbook entries are complete with text, pin-up art and the secondary box art (actually drawn on the art board and not a paste-up!) when I was used to the previous Deluxe Edition pieces that were only the character illustration.

Congrats! It looks really cool in person and it looks even better in your collection!

Thanks for choosing to part with it and growing my obscure villain army!
