Fun commission idea, though I don't want to think about the implications on Francine and Katchoo with the Up homage.  And who's that supposed to be on the back?  Is it a Terry/Robyn cameo?

That is Terry and Robyn :)

I have always liked Salvador Larocca's work!  His work on FF and X-Men is true in a classic style and pretty to read.  And Jim Warden has always been a joy to deal with!  Congrats on a great score!

I agree with everything you said, especially about Jim Warden.

Congratulations. I love the idea of taking Francine and Katchoo, two characterers that Terry has developed real world lives for, and placing in a fantasy scene. The love connection in the look between them is undeniable.

We should all be so lucky to remember the kid in all of us that loved superheroes even before they were made popular.  Remember the days when liking comics would get you branded a nerd?  Seems like the internet wants to bring those days back.

I'm too old to stop being a nerd.

It's very cool that he still has his art dating back to the 90's and how happy he is to see how they still bring joy to collectors.

Thank you, Eric! That's a beautiful way to describe Wenzel's work- I couldn't agree more. Happy to hear you enjoyed studying the page- there is a lot of little detail to take in. I've always loved how this page in particular tells a whole little story in itself. 
 

Eric nailed it with his comment. Great Page!
