There is no real need to repeat that I am a big '70s Defenders fan. One of my favourite character was the Russian female version of Captain America, wonderfully scripted back then by the genius Steve Gerber. I was so disappointed to see her vanish in an absurd plot development in issue 65. I have always secretly hoped that one coul ret-con her transformation into a less than minor villain, so that I could enjoy "the return of the Red Guardian".

Thanks to the fantastic Maikowski I now own the cover of that imaginary comic. My sincere thanks to Michael, who is a first class act in terms of pofessionalism and patience (on his talent I do not need to say anything, the art speaks for itself.)
Thanks also to Kirk Dilbeck for representing Michael.
Apologies for the rambling, who knows maybe Fraction will be reading this...

It really does look like a vintage cover. Excellent work.

I hope Fraction is reading this too! The Red Guardian is one of the most underused characters out there. I'd love to see her back also. Now to the artwork.....FANTASTIC!

As a Defenders fan from way back (like, from #1 of the original run), I can only say: Me likee.

I can top that Michael. Not only have I been a fan since their first OFFICIAL appearance in Marvel Feature #1 - I can go all the way back to their first UNOFFICIAL appearance in Sub-mariner #34 & 35 (without Dr. Strange of course). Anyway, this is a great commission Carlo. I am very jealous! Congratulations my friend.

I'd forgotten about that earlier arc, Eric. At this late date, I can't recall reading those issues, but I may well have. That first appearance in Marvel Feature #1 is etched into my memory, though. :)
