DescriptionBeautiful page from the 1970s Marvel black and white magazine. Typically strong & chunky pencils by iconic Hulk artist Herb Trimpe are rounded off in breathtaking fashion by legendary inker Alfredo Alcala, giving every figure and object its own weight and solidity. I remember reading these stories as a kid and being mesmerised by Alcala's unique treatment of the Hulk in this series - everything looked so 'real', so convincingly sculpted. When you hold an Alcala page in your hands and study it, you see how many techniques he brought to bear on a single image, how broad and sophisticated his visual language was. The scan doesn't do it justice - this page has such weight to it! Very proud to finally have a lovely example of both Trimpe and Alcala back in my collection. Welcome home! Just learnt the story this piece is from is entitled "A Gathering of Doom!" Written by the very skilled scribe Doug Moench - a real Marvel mainstay. It seriously does not get better - vintage, brilliant and unashamedly cheesy Marvel! |

The Marvel fanboy in me melts at the sight of classic Silver Age Iron Man, but the artist goes ooooo! at the visual splendour of that last panel too! Alcala is such a Master of embellishment.
