Super DC Giant s-21 LOVE 1971 by Manix Abrera

lovely and sad but all the way Manix! Rare commission piece 

I am feeling the love! 

Beautiful work!!!

My favorite Manix piece you've posted!

This is your happening and it freaks me out! Really neat piece, congrats :)

What a fantastic piece with subject matter that Manix would really relish. Many congrats, Marcus!

Beautiful homage by Manix, this rocks!!!! Congrats Marcus!

I love this original cover, with its 70s vibes and grand prix racing car. Couldnt afford to win it a few months ago when it came up on HA but I tried ha. 

Manix needs his own gallery room with black lights at OAX!

Ka-chow!

That retro vibe works perfectly with his style. Congrats!

VERY NICE!!

Fantastic and fun!!!

You made the perfect subject matter for a Manix recreation --  he definitely did a terrific job with the groovy psychedelic curves and colors.  Love the ruby quartz Cyclops goggles.  Great add!!

Another great cover homage. This one really suits Manix's style.

You old romantic you, Marcus. Now we know what you look out for in the back issue bins. Romance comics.

'70s vibes through and through!  How does Manix's style match perfectly?!  Love this spin on this graphically strong cover...the head shot is tops but what puts it OVER the top is all the melding of imagery and color to the left!  '70s suh-weet, indeed.  Congrats!

Manix keeps 'em coming, another cool cover recreation. I don't know the original very well but it's done in the Manix style we all love. 

Awesome!

He's got her eyes down.

Ruby quartz on the street,

Needy emo between the sheets. 

Groovy baby, great colors on this one as always by Manix. 

The beautiful art is not surprising. However, the choice to use what looks to be natural Mulberry paper is wonderful. 

The Man(ix) is inevitable.

Yeah baby! Does everything make Scott horny? Oh, behave! Manix channels that swee 60s/early 70s vibe perfectly. 

First off, let's all give props to Armentano for producing such a sublime, psychedelic masterpiece which stood out from all other Romance covers that came before it. As for this version by Manix Abrera, it is a stupendous reinterpretation of the original. I love it, and as the text on the original says, "Love is what it's all about!". Oh, and also a great rendition of Michael Jackson's Beat it. Better than Weird Al's "Eat It"!

I love Manix art! Anything he does is so cute and cool!

Astounding! The original piece was already great, but Manix brings it to the next plateau! Big congrats for this gem, Marcus!

This is the most unique Manix I have seen so far. I think we knew he was a master of color, but he tones it down and it just screams 70's.

Also, there was an extremely hard laugh after "No one wants to meet Dark Phoenix".

I love this time period in design and pop culture, the psychedelic 60's were over but the funky 70's had begun! Such fun and fitting subject matter for Manix's style of creative storytelling. 

Gorgeous Manix piece! Congrats!

Not a cover you ever expect to see Manix recreate, yet the psychadelic patterns and color scheme are appropriate.  Fun twist adding in Cyclops (because if there's one thing the X-Men don't have enough of is soap opera drama).  Congrats!

Really love this piece Marcus; very groovy! 

This draws you in.  I love the hair color!

Another amazing Manix example. Love it!

Great pop illustration! Love the colors ♥

Feeling Groovy! Wow, this commission by Manix really brings back the whole '70s scene! I love the weeping girl in the front, with her sad eyes and pouty lips.! The romance scene between the race car driver and his groupie is sickeningly sweet. And the Formula One car is rocking the scene! The whole cover looks positively psychedelic! Who need drugs when we have Manix?

Very nice cover by the master - congratulations !!!

wonderful!

I see so much amazing Manix work being posted, makes me feel on the outside. I need to come up with the perfect idea and pitch it to him. Love this one - congrats Marcus!

¡Oye! ¡Esto es una chulada! Muy yeyé. Me encanta

Not 5 minutes ago I posted about how thrilling it is to see a previously unseen Hembeck recreation, and oddly (or... not?) the only modern artist that generates a similar sense of glee upon discovering a new piece from them has gotta be Manix.  Seeing Manix's take on this beauty is just as brilliant and hilarious as your inspired idea to choose it in the first place, Marcus.  A race car to the heart with an emotional photo finish that leaves you pining for an answer: How can one big red lady... be so blue?  Poor red lady!  Never mind Love 1971, this is Love 2024, baby.  Brilliant add, Marcus!  Love it!!
