Crazy to hear that costs have risen that much and the color guide now costs more than when purchasing original Cockrum ink art. Great set of pages. I also enjoyed the extra additional story pages to original reprinted stories.
Ha yeah -- in this case the original was inexpensive (< $100) in 1999 and for some reason the CG went for a lot on Heritage (> $100).
That is impressive. And to get OA Cockrum art (X-Men nonetheless) for under $100. I am years late to this hobby but glad to have atleast jumped in. Huge congrats!
Sweet page - and always great to match up a pair of the comic art process!
What a nice page!
That's a very nice page! Huge congrats
Really cool how this new art fit in with the story being reprinted in the issue and Cockrum rocked it. Definitely not the moody artwork of Bolton. The whole Cassidy Keep storyline has been immortalized in animation and part of plenty of fans memories.
I loved the idea of adding extra pages, as long as they worked well. In this case, it did, making the transition between the previous and next pages less abrupt. By the way, Sam Grainger, the inker of the original story, is also credited with having inked this new page. Nice add,Ted, thanks for sharing it over a quarter of a century later!
Thanks Ruben. I'm pretty sure Dave mentioned to me years ago that he inked these extra pages himself and this doesn't look like Sam Grainger's work to me. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Marvel was just lazy with the credits and didn't both mentioning the inking for the new pages.
It feels that way to me too, Ted. But figured I'd let you know anyway. I agree, the person responsible for the credits was simply grabbing them from the original comic without taking the new page into account.
More for the color guide?! Yikes! Well, being 1999, guess I'm not surprised :) Love me some Ororo and you got a few great panels here. Sweet you were able to pair up the OA with the CG! I've got one piece like that and am stoked to have 'em in the portfolio side by side. Congrats, Ted!
