TOTAL ADAMS-AWESOMENESS!!!
incredible image. excited to see it.
This might be the best combination of superstar artists ever.
Well, I do have a Wrightson piece inked by Mignola that's pretty cool. But you're right, Adams and BWS on the same cover is tough to beat. Thanks for the comment AB.
Takes your breath away! Fantastic cover from a glorious period in comics.
How is it possible that I have not commented on this masterpiece by two geniuses? Museum quality!
Thank you my friend. I did not think it could get any better than having two of my favorites (Adams and Mignola) on a piece, but havings an Adams with BWS inks is more than I could have ever dreamed of. Now if I can just find an Art Adams inked by Kevin Nowlan. My life would be complete. LOL
I always knew this was Smith because his inking style is so distinct, but never realized Art Adams also drew it- what a unique collaboration by two contemporary masters!
Thanks Bill. I think most would agree with you that the Smith inks are pretty easy to spot. But also, for me at least, that Dazzler figure just screams Art Adams. Anyway, really appreciate the comment. Take care and stay safe.
Not sure how I missed this cover but it is certainly a very memorable one by two great talents!
Thanks Mark. You know, people are constantly telling me that I have way too much stuff and I need to pare my collection down. I'm not an advocate of collectin size limits, but whenever I get one of these "how did I miss this one" comments, I can't help but wonder if that's the reason. I know it's a lot of stuff to wade through. Sometimes I almost feel like apologizing. But you know what? If you don't roll up your pants and start wading, you'd never stumble upon pieces like this one. Anyway, glad you found it eventually. Appreciate the comment as always buddy!
Absolutely spectacular! Glad I now know where to look at the real thing!
Thanks Dan! Please feel free to come back and visit as often as you like. It's definitely worth a second look (or a third, or fourth, or.....well, you get the point). Appreciate the comment, stay safe.
Don't know why I never commented on this one, but wow, that's a cool cover! BWS's inks really make Arthur's pencils pop! Must be even more gorgeous in person!
So when are you coming by to see it in person? I'll spring for the pizza. Thanks for the comment buddy!
Incredible!
That's something you don't see every day, an absolute beauty, la crème de la crème by both the artists!
Great BWS inks, with the flowing hair and vibrant background really making this image move. It's interesting to see the uninked section of the explosive background as well, to see that BWS chose not to give those energy waves an embossed shadow effect. A very rare thing, this.
If I had to guess (and this is certainly pure speculation on my part) I would think that Barry was well enough aware of the impending logo and cornerbox placement, so thought better of wasting the time and effort to ink that upper portion. If you look in the Additional Images, you'll see that those lines didn't even make the published cover.
