Description

Defenders Issue 151 was released October 15, 1985. This page immediately stood out to me thanks to the opening panel’s reference to Northern California. Having lived most of my life in Northern California, the idea of owning a page tied to that region felt special and personal.

This piece also connects to my Guardians of the Galaxy collection. I have been working to pick up appearances of characters from the first modern Guardians team prior to the issues I focus on, and the woman in the final panel is a mysterious version of Moondragon. Her identity becomes clearer in the other two pages I acquired from this issue, making this the first piece in a small narrative set.

Before purchasing this page I had never encountered the Interloper, but after picking up several of his pages I can honestly say I'm a fan. His character design seems quite unique for the era. I hope he returns to comics again some day.

Artistically, this is one of the strongest pages I have added to my collection. I love night scenes, rain scenes, and ocean scenes, and this page blends all three into something remarkable. The heavy inks, the movement of the water, and the atmospheric storytelling create a powerful visual moment.

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere Perlin for me
Defenders stands Moondragon fans
And watches the ships that go sailin'

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there wavin' at me
If I could fly like works of line
Then straight to her arms, I'd go sailin'

This is the coolest Don Perlin composition I've ever seen, and Dell Barras' inks make it a masterpiece.

Congratulations on getting it.

It's nicely drawn, but damn, Barras inked the hell out of it! Really well done.

I echo the other comments that this is one of the strongest Perlin pieces that I've seen.  A great example of the difference that an inker can make.

Always cool and fun when something personal to you is referenced in popular culture.  I remember how thrilled I was when my tiny town was referenced in both The Rock and Star Trek IV ("It's where they keep the nuclear wessels").
