Description
Going back to the ‘80s with the next few posts, starting with this splendid title splash from Javier Saltares, with Mark McKenna ink assist – my first piece by either. And featuring one of my fave characters, the OG indigenous hero, Red Wolf!

Well here, it’s actually the Wolf God, Owayodata, who’s about to have a heart to heart with Red Wolf, who has just been defeated by Bengal, barely surviving. RW realizes he didn’t do enough to stop the events that led to Bengal becoming who he is, and is pretty racked with guilt. RW and Owayodata have a conversation throughout the story, and by end, RW is able to move past the “desert tears” and to move on. Good stuff. And next week another post coming tied to this story!

Lotsa Native imagery throughout, from title lettering to the background. The featured image is of course Owayodata. Love the hand reaching out, and there’s a semi-transparent screen tone pasted over him, to give that apparition kinda look. Pretty cool to look at in person.

And, thanks, fellow fan of Native comic heroes and art, DH, for allowing me to be next caretaker!

I remember this splash very well. While I have zero recollection of the story itself, I always loved it when  Marvel paid homage to Native Americans in comics. They deserved and still deserve so much better. Congrats on landing this one, brother, it's in the perfect collection!

I guess the time was right for us to say

We'd take our time and live Owayodata page by page

We'll make a wish and get inked from McKenna
We know our dreams can all come true with Wolf of Javier

With you I never wonder
Will you be MCP?
With you in desert wander
You bring Saltares for me

I finally found Red Wolf of the art line
A Wolf to last my whole life through
I finally found Red Wolf of a lifetime
Avenger in my art
I finally found Red Wolf of the art line

With heavy guilt, our Wolf is like brand-new
And every tear up in the sky was made for me and Wolf
Still we both know that the road is long
We know that he will be Avenger
Because our Wolf is strong

Dynamic splash on a character lost in time, I don't know much on Red Wolf or this Wolf god, but would certainly be interesting to learn more or see him come to modern books.

How many fingers am I holding up? If you said 5, you are right boys and girls.  Who said marvel comics weren't educational?  Congrats!

I loved those Red Wolf stories, which also introduced me to the character, along with Bengal! Great acquisition!

Thanks, Travis!  Cool there are others that dug these stories, AND like both characters as a result.  I MAY have a post coming featuring the latter guy :)

Congrats KG - Fantastic Native imagery, and I know how much it must mean to you on multiple levels to have a piece like this. Awesome!

Really great splash with lots of landscape textures and imagery; I really like the details given to the encampment, too - very nice! But it's really hard to focus on anything but that powerful Owayodata image!  The use of the screen tone is perfect to pop the image, and the way his fingertips break out of the panel also underscores the feeling of... "apparitionism"...?  He's reaching for you with everything he's got! Another great add, K!  Congrats!
