Ragman #3 page 7 1977

Rags to riches! 

Nice page!  This smacks you in the face (or is that the first panel).

Alleys were created for scenes like this! Very nice looking page and sequence of panels, congrats on the longtime bucketlist addition!

Finally you posted something good!

Great top panel. 

Great movement throughout, both by the figures and the viewer's perspective. 

Wild concept.  Excellent execution!  The late 70's experimentation to bring in new audiences took big chances.  Kubert and Redondo bring a darker kind of supernatural street level storytelling!

Do the Ragman! Do the Ragman! Beautiful piece! 

Gorgeous!

The tatterdemalion of justice!

Joe Kubert is one of the all-time best artists to ever work in American comic books. At the time of this publication of the issue this page is from, the Filipino invasion had occured only a few years earlier. So just think how good of an artist draftsman Nestor Redondo was, that a guy like Kubert, who was already a legend in the industry by 1977, had the confidence and trust in him (and his brother Frank!) to pencil and ink over Kubert's layouts. They did a really nice job honoring Kubert by emulating his style in the inked finishes, too. Kudos on getting such a standout example, Steve, it's absolutely outstanding!

Superb page! I love that first panel with R emerging from the shadow!!! Stunning!

damn, i love the dark tones of the inks on this, such a great page buddy

Beautiful page! I love the way the dense black of the cloak in the opening panel draws the eye into the action - and also makes it feel as though Ragman is emerging from the shadows. Glorious!
