That's crazy cool. Floating heads covers can be a hit or miss thing for me, as comic faces can often come off as generic. But when it's done by someone with such a strong, identifiable, stylistic signature, it really works. Cain and Sgt. Rock are probably my two standouts.
Stellar add!
Mark, that is an incredible Bolland to add to your collection. The selection of characters make this very unqiue. The Sgt. Rock is a refined Kubert. There is the Spectre, ROG-2000 and Uncle Sam that stand out to me.
Great cover and description!!
Yeah, he didn't mark it and other pieces sold right away and got lots of emails. Bolland is a great get and this points to the stars of the day in comics.
Sockamagee!
Masterful rendition of every character, but Storm and Ben are my favorites. What an amazing piece to have!
Bolland hits the nail on the character head, sheer perfection!
That's great that you have such a connection to this piece. Bolland's work is so distinctive, even the earlier stuff.
This is wonderful!
Appropriate custodian, indeed! Great piece for a great collection
Superb artwork! Colossal! Nuff said!
Very cool Mark, a Bolland masterpiece!
What a terrific rare find! Congrats. I too picked up this booklet back in the day and probably read it from cover to cover. Unless I am mistaken the two initialled reviewers in one of the additional pics are Frank Plowright and Hassan Yusuf, comics experts and main organisers of the annual British comic convention for many years. I don't know about the person holding the booklet or the female to his right but isn't that on his left with his back towards us Brother Power, The Geek?
Bottom characters are Brother Power (50 appearances ish), Turok (400 appearances ish) and Nightshade (her original costume from Charlton's Captain Atom. 300 appearances ish.)
Very Impressive - you got all three identified! A No-Prize you have earned for sure! Thanks!
Wow! Fabulous Brian Bolland cover! I enjoy these pieces with lots of faces on them. I find it fun to test myself and see how many I know (And how many I don't know). Beautiful work by Bolland here. Bolland has such a strong style that he really makes all the characters his own. I especially love Bolland's take on Man-Thing and Cain. Wonderful pick-up!
Very cool!!
Very nice art !
Congratulations! Nice to see Sgt. Rock, the Spectre, Metamorpho, and the Spectre are included. It's in good hands!
Wow, beautiful Bolland work. Congrats!
Beautiful. I love the head of Cain, and I'm always pleased to see a rendition of the Man-Thing. I remember the cover well, and I'm glad it made it to a good home.
