Description

It's hard to label such a new piece a 'grail' but in terms of always wanting an Arthur Adams cover with not one, but two of my favorite characters featured, this definitely fits the bill. Hulk is absolutely massive and the Surfer's alien look is simply stunning, along with the nice bonus of the new Dr. Strange and Namor designs (let's be honest, Art Adams illustrating anyone simply looks amazing), the original Defenders reuniting to save the world as only they could, featured on a cover full of Kirby krackle and Adams's exquisite detail simply does not get any better.

Thank you Arthur (and Joyce!), you've made this fan very happy.

I am very late to the party on your fantastic collection. Love this piece. I am not sure Art can do a bad piece but this is definitely a labor of love with all that Kirby crackle, the detail in Hulk's face, and thne large detailed images of all each character exuding their presence. Just wow! Thank you for sharing.
