Love the expression in the last panel. Very sharp, jagged lines.

Great variety in all of those demonic faces - with a bit of a mix of roleplaying fantasy art and Ghostbusters. And it's so interesting to see the greens and reds in the published cover, looking a bit like a '50s 3D comic page. Really vibrant. Another interesting pick-up!

Nice! Loved that comic when it came out. The ever-surprised and anxious Skeeve is depicted so well. As a DnD player, that fantasy-gaming/comics crossover was really welcome. Congrats!

With that jagged edge, it feels a bit like a '70s Marvel value stamp ad, with Spidey getting in on the act. Breaking the border is great as well. Nice image.

Lovely work by Aparo. There's a lot of movement in this, and the poses of Batman communicate so much emotion.

That is just crying out for a BM Cancelled Comics Cavalcade title. It's such an oddball team, it deserves another outing. Thanks for sharing these, Brent!

Well, I think I got a HTD sketch from Steve Leialoha back in 1979 - and it's great to see he is still doing them! This one is a lot of fun.

An incredible page! Yes, a "Flame On" is as much of a treat as an "It's Clobberin' Time". But to have it on the same page as Johnny making a futile attempt to defeat Galactus makes this very special indeed. The viewing angle in the second panel really shows the scale of his task. Congrats!

Great page, West! The pose of Galactus in the third panel, musing on the Earth's fate and indifferent to the suffering he causes, is just perfect. Thunderbolt Ross is a real bonus here. Congrats!

Agreed - it's a worthy #7, and personally I think that was all time well spent for the outcome. Kirby's early Hulk - more a cross between a bulky brawler and a gorilla than a giant - is chanelled so well here. Nice commission and excellent embellishment.

Great Leader image! And if I'm not mistaken, that's his costume from Incredible Hulk #124, which was the first time I saw the character. Happy memories, and a great Fred.

Well, that really is a classic! The eyes in the second panel are great, and I was surprised by the memories invoked by Professor X's expression of shock. Sam Grainger put in some excellent inks here as well. Congrats!

I was very tempted by that page as well. A key story moment. It was probably better for Jack that Valkyrie had no memory of him getting Barabara involved in Van Nyborg's cult (as well as being thrown in a portal to another dimension). Some marriages have bumps in the road. Nice page!

A great bit of history. The Juggernaut really does look unstoppable, and the depiction of Xorak lookcs very much like a Gil Kane creature of the type he would have drawn in the '60s. Certainly, that fearsome beast fills the panel. Nice page!

I enjoy Mooney's work and Espo's inking as well. I haven't read Omega the Unknown (Omega Men on the other hand...) but the artwork and your recommendation have me wondering if it was ever collected into trades or if single issues is the only way to experience it, will have to look into that. Also it hurts my soul to hear that this original art page arrived rolled into a tube but it also warms my heart to hear that you only paid 6 pounds for it and had the gumption/desire to take that plunge through a mail order catalog so early on in your collecting journey! 

Thanks, Kavi! Well, according to comics.org it has two complete reprints - "Omega the Unknown Classic" in 2005, and perhaps more useful "Marvel Masterworks: Omega the Unknown" in 2023. And thanks for reading my long story!

A great likeness and expression in the fourth panel, and the angle for the towering guard below that is fabulous. The playful panel arrangements and missing borders really make this page move at pace.

Great to have a transformation page, and the hovering notes are a nice touch. I wonder why Ghost Rider is immune to the sirens' song - does he just hate music and frivolity in general?

Yes, that thought-balloon is joyful - as are the boggled eyes in the opening panels. The laughter at the shared joke has all the cosy family feel that made the FF work so well. Nice page!

The colour palette is so of its time - so similar to Frank Bellamy or John Burns, perhaps. And it came across so well in the comics, adding to a sense that the reader was viewing a glimpse of a bold, brave new futuristic world. The composition is glorious, with a central close-up, and a worms'-eye (or body's-eye) view of the soldier in the second panel. Everything about this page is vibrant. Great pick-up.

Yes, a real warrior here! Although someone may have blow-dried her hair for the portrait. The fierce, defiant expression is so assured - Sonja dares the viewer to challenge her or back down. Her strength and physicality seem emphasised by the way she fully occupies the frame of the image. Great piece.

Despite the opulence of the setting and the clothes, there is something very mundane about the sequence - the relaxed, casual expressions, the familiarity of a restaurant table, the blandness of the conversation. That lends so much more power to the final panel's confrontation, in dialogue and visual representation, of the real problem that needs to be addressed. Nice, delicate storytelling with a cinematic feel.

The weird perspective in the opening panel, almost seen through a fish-eye lens, sets up the spooky sequence. It is absolutely horrible. That opening panel and the use of a guiding lantern in the middle tier, lend it some classic gothic horror tropes - while still seeming more modern in the crisp, pared down linework. Let's hope that the 'Sullivan'-linked news to which you allude leads to an equally poetic justice for that wretch too.
