Thrilled to add this Paul Pope recreation/homage to Jack Kirby's pinup in The Fantastic Four Annual #1. As a major fan of Pope and Kirby, this piece always spoke to me deeply. Once can instantly see that it's Pope doing Kirby but has the amazingly full and beautiful brush strokes in the line that Pope is known for. The face of the Hulk looks like a monstrous Pope character.

While I've been selling a lot of my collection, I've come to realize that every Pope piece I've sold has left me feeling deep regret. It's made it all too clear that he is one of those artists that I can't let go of pieces any longer and should continue to add to my new, smaller, more focused collection. Very thankful that the previous owner put this into auction so that I could have this opportunity to add another amazing Pope masterpiece.

A nice reinterpretation of Kirby's original. Nice to hear you're refocusing, but on a smaller scale, Jason!

Great Kirby pose!  Pope modernizes with details to emphasize the brutishness, but keeps the compact pose of a monster that's still full of uncontrollable emotional anguish within.

Very nice piece. Looks like Gray Hulk is about to sing out an emotional ballad! Congrats!

As collectors Im sure we all have that feeling.  Glad you were able to fill that void with this great piece!

It's so interesting to see an image of the Jade Giant which is simultaneously one artist's vision while also being something new. The pose and rendering are excellent, and show a creature truly out of control. Great piece.
