Description
Here is a splashy action page from a series I really loved back when, the Genis-Vell incarnation of Captain Marvel under Peter David's tenure. Much of that love came from ChrissCross insanely energized art on the series and this page was too good to pass when it came up at auction.

The plot of that issue is simple, an earth child with some kind of cosmic power or awareness has been kidnapped by the evil skrulls and Cap' Marv', Moondragon and the Silver Surfer come to her rescue.

The first two panels establish that the child has manifested her power and is surrounded by threatening skrulls, aiming at her.

The incentive of the page is of course that ¾ splash of Cap' Marv' deflecting all the skrulls' pew pew pews fired at him when he came a' crashing their base with some sort of self-generated energy shield.

I find that the stance ChrissCross drew him in is fantastic in conveying the stress he is under. No super powerful bravado with a full body stance here (which would have meant the original art would have sold for more, the route many would have chosen, so bravo to the artist for doing what's needed to only serve the storytelling), what he is doing is taxing him.

And that energy field effect is simply insane and truly radiates intensity, not to mention the detail of the energy blasts pushing into it. Great inks also on that part alone.

Just great stuff from an artist sadly much too rare nowadays.

Really nice CC page, congrats on the auction win! The half splash is great for the reasons you pointed out but I really love that 2nd panel, it is composed so well. McKenna is no slouch on inks here for sure.

Agree, that second panel stood out to me as well!

I agree with the first two commenters. The top two panels are the nicest parts of this page, especially the second one. But the bottom panel is a really nice bonus. Congrats on a bargain win!

Pineapple on pizza is still a sensitive subject it seems.

I was a big fan of this series back when it was coming out monthly - easily one of Peter David's best runs.  A great looking page from an underrated series.

ChrisCross doesn't get enough pub.  He's got some of the best designs in his images.  Witness Exhibit A.  Congrats!
