Web of Spider-man Annual #2, pg.18

I've always wanted a nice Godzilla example by Arthur. I thought for sure that it would come in the form of one of his Dark Horse covers. Unfortunately, the only ones I've ever seen available for sale haven't really been ones that I've liked. Then, a few years ago at the SD convention, I saw this page for sale. Talk about your unexpected sources! Not only is this piece NOT from the Dark Horse run, it's not even really Godzilla! I've always liked this issue by Arthur. I was disappointed that he didn't do the cover, but the interior story is one of my personal faves (although the coloring and printing of the comic sucked). I never really thought about collecting pages from this book because I had heard some time back that a collector in Canada was trying to put the whole story together and was paying big money for pages from it. I just assumed he got this splash as well. But now it's mine! And although it's technically a splash of the shape-shifting Warlock from New Mutants, I will always think of it as my ultimate Godzilla example! Thanks to Albert Moy for this one!

(2/11/06) Just got back from WonderCon 2006 where I picked up a copy of MODERN MASTERS #6, ARTHUR ADAMS and was delighted to see this piece included among the featured artwork. Very cool.

(5/26/06)Just finished reading the interview with Arthur in Back Issue #16 and found out something very interesting about this piece. According to Art and editor Mike Eury, this splash actually predates any other published Godzilla drawing, so it's officially the first time he ever drew the character for publication! How cool is that?
