A lot of people snoot their noses at color guides but I think this a piece they'd all be happy to own if they could. Very nice!
I agree, this is probably the best color guide Ive ever seen.
This piece of monumental X history is soo awesome, the Color Guide page is beautiful. Love seeing the process and this art is a piece to a major puzzle. Huge congrats! Great seeing amongst your many X-Men pages.
This is so awesome! I think your estimate of $200K is actually pretty low. Then again... I'm lost when it comes to the price of things these days.
This brings back memories of hunting down X-Men #101 as a back issue at the comic specialty shop b/c the Overstreet Guide told me it was the 1st app. of the Phoenix. Classic piece of X-History!!! Congratulations!!!
Very cool grab, Bill!
In the heat of the night, I bought a page
Ignorin' words that you displayin'
Tryna change Jean Grey
I said, "This time I've what I love."
What you've called a color guide
That will Phoenix it up
'Cause I'm so glad, I might tell you there's no other
It's when you look at Wilford's color
I said, "Jean", yes all I really want is you
Withstand outside Space Shuttle, readin' Marvels
Screamin', "Now a birth page too!"
Land there in Jamaica bay, comin' back once more
And don't you leave, 'cause I know
All I need is on the color guide, nothing more
Bill dropping some serious heat....phoenix fireeeee
Incredibly cool piece!
Beatutiful piece !! Saw this on the last CAF Update on youtube. I have a few color guides. They're another step in the process of getting those books out. They do have value. It's just a matter of the getting them into the hands of the right people.
Great page!!
Cabbage or not, that's some pretty tasty salad. Congrats Bill!
That's awesome! Congrats Bill!
Who needs that kind of cabbage when you have this kind of bacon ;)
Major congrats on such an amazing piece in X-Men history. Love color guides like this especially for significant events as it really makes the piece pop.
Wow, nice work Bill! Great way to grab a piece of comics history. I love a colour guide, espically for an otherwise unatainable original page. Awesome piece.
Wow, congrats Bill on this historic and incredible color guide!
wow, that is a page ofcomic book history, big congrats!!!!
Unbelievably cool. I am mucho jealous! Congratulations.
Too cool!!! What an incredible piece of X-Men history with such an amazing and awe-inspiring image! Congrats Bill.
Great find Bill. It is a beautifully colored page.
Bill - when you redo the will this gets left to me... K thanks!
Well done Bill.
It is so amazing to have an original part of this Iconic page!
Amazing piece of history here Bill, congrats on adding this to your collection!
any thing from this issue is historic. the color guide gives an in depth look to themagic that would become that issue.
Man! That's huge, dude! Key, key moment and hands down my favorite look for Jean. Always loved the flat green vs the gold sheen on the arms and legs. Sublime stuff. And you got those colors here! For the first time! Congrats!
Cool is an understatement! Congrats!
Color guides are getting a lot more respect these days - and, heck who wouldn't want this one!
A spectacular find, Bill, congrats!
An astounding find!
And those color guide naysayers would each kill for this.
Art is art and that what Bonnie Wilford did here. contributing the final book. And as an artifact from the first appearance of Phoenix, can'tdo much better.
A true piece of X-Men history! Congrats!
Sockamagee!
I bought 2 John Byrne Spiderman color guide pages from Anthony when here was here in AZ. I think this is a future market for affordable original pieces and to get an iconic piece like yours here makes it that more special.
When it comes to historic pages, this is at the top of the list. Congrats on finding this!
Great piece - love the rich colors. Congrats Bill!
Marvelous !!!
One of the most iconic Cockrum X-Men pages ever! Love how Jean Grey's green costume is punctuated by her shock of red hair and how the blue water of Jamaica Bay has a splash of purple in it. Congrats Bill!
Awesome!
Fantastic piece of history!!
Brilliant. But didn't Phoenix first appear in X-men 50?
The best color guide ever, congrats. If you're going to have a color guide, this is the one. So iconic.
S T E L L A R!!!!
This piece is so impressive.
Amazing piece
That is deserving of some cabbage. Amazing piece and sending a belated Happy Birthday! If I could add an image I would totally add a Cabbage Merchant picture from Avatar.
Dang!!! Great memories. This was from right around the time I was getting back into comics... and then shortly after this, gertting into the comic books buiz and meeting Big Terry who took over the book as inker a short time after this.
Nice score...
