Beautiful Cockrum page!
What's funny now is that I bought this off eBay in 2007 and was the only bidder, probably because this was seen as a "boring" overpriced epilogue page that came at the end of a great....
I do so miss those days :)
Ha yeah -- I bought several of my best pieces from eBay (including a Kirby FF and Wrightson Frankenstein) and often I was the only bidder. Good times!
Charming page!
This is outstanding--love the inks!
Thanks - I also love Sam Grainger's inking over Cockrum!
These isues after Phoenix continued to expand the X-Men's adventures into the cosmos. Claremont definitey had a plan for all of it using Cockrum's skills of design for the swashbuckling space pirate Corsair and the many alien species that would play a big part in the stories going forward.
What a great page! It has classic Bronze Age swashbuckling-imbued costuming, alien designs, space adventuring, and family drama all on one page. Also, it is a fine example of why I think Granger was one of Cockrum's best inkers.
You're exactly right, Ted. Even by 2007, most collectors still didn't really care for pages without main characters in costume. It's only in later years as the hobby grew substantially and far more open minded collectors entered the hobby that pages like this one finally began getting some respect, thought still not because of the first appearance obsession.
Great page and art by Cockrum! Congrats!
I even love the teaser for issue 105 - ah, eBay 25 years ago....we all wish we were there or bought more when we were!
Nice!!!!
Great inks!
Awesome Cockrum page from a very memorable issue and storyline. I started with #100 and #101. The third issue I picked up was this one and I was totally bought into all of the goings on.....without really understanding them.
great looking page, important page, and a fun one as well - oh yeah and Cockrum!!!!
Fun and memorable page!
Cockrum's beautiful artwork on an Uber-classic page that just SCREAMS Marvel Bronze-Age magic. The Corsair design on the back immediately doubles the value for me.
