I thought the rule for "grails" was that there could be only one. You've got a whole gallery going here. Ah, hell, screw the rule!

This is my favorite Hulk, the way Kirby drew him at this particular time. That ironman isn't so bad either :)

Panel six has always been one of my favorites. Who can't love Iron Man bombarding The Hulk with radial tires?!

How have I never commented on this page? Back in...1999 (?) a dealer was walking across the floor in San Diego and he handed it to me and said he needed to sell it immediately. Unfortunately I was broke - this is to my eye one of the best pages in the book if not the best. There are moments where you just know Jack was drawing at 3 AM, no idea what was coming next, and a commercial for tires came on the Spanish language television station he always watched, and he thought "AHAH!" (I've wondered if he ever saw the Capiello Equipneu poster.) The level of detail in the last four panels is crazy, and the composition in each one is a perfect example of forcing the audience to participate in the action. Anyway, it's gorgeous!

Many thanks, Glen! I do consider myself really fortunate to have obtained this page although it did cost a lot. Still, I would not have been able to afford it at today's prices. Most importantly (and as you have correctly observed), it is the content of the page and its superb quality that resonate with me.

You know CAB, every time I take a cyber-stroll through your gallery, I have to prepare. I need to steel myself, knowing that the wonders that await me here are the trappings of a world class collection, and feelings of woeful inadequacy are par for the course (but are always overpowered by the pure joy and wonder of seeing the amazing art, never fear :) ). It's like confronting your mortality, or staring into the abyss... and there staring back at you is a Ditko and a Kirby and a Simonson and a Windsor-Smith, and, and, and... :) And while I -love- visiting your gallery, it -can- be a pretty harrowing experience, by golly. Case in point: this. An absolute slobberknocker of a glorious page; as classic as classic can be, and worthy of bumping more than a few pieces out of a "proper" museum. I can't believe this exists on the physical plane, quite honestly. :) Thank you -so- much for sharing this with us, along with so many more of your inestimable treasures.

Many thanks, Jason, for such kind (yet undeserved) words. We are all merely stewards of the artwork that is part of this hobby that we all love. And I was fortunate - I got into the hobby earlier. I would not be able to afford artwork such as this today. I should add that, even then, it was such a financial stretch. However, it was well worth it.
