Wow that's super cool you managed to pick up this piece! I had a lot of fun watching Steve walk us through the creation of this one on his YouTube channel. He made me go out and pick up a much larger brush size to try inking with instead of the trusty size 3.

Beautiful page! Janson's textural approach always made a lot more sense to me over Colan's pencils than some of the slicker inkers DC tried to pair him with during his stint at the "distinguished competition".

Beautiful piece! It's always illuminating to see how different artists handle a challenge like translucent material. I'm sure he could handle it brilliantly in pen and ink as well. Thanks for sharing these!

Great War page Peter and lots of interesting info on the Flying Tigers! My knowledge of them is mostly limited to cartoonist Bert Christman's involvement with them. He took over Scorchy Smith after Noel Sickles but left the strip to join the Navy and eventually volunteered for the Flying Tigers. He would paint the noses of the planes and personalize them for the different pilots. Unfortunately he was shot down and killed by Japanese pilots in combat. Frank Robbins was recruited to take over the strip after Christman's departure to the Navy. 
Thanks for noting the letterer of the page too! They did a great job mimicking Ben Oda's sfx lettering style from the great EC war books.

Great strip Peter! I feel like Robbins handled the transition to a post-war strip better than most and he really took Johnny all over the globe and got into all sorts of weird situations as a spy for W.I.N.G. Really fun stuff to read in reprints!

Beautiful piece Matt! I've been following Nick's work for years and one day I was at my local art supply store when I lived in Pasadena and I noticed a display of current and former employees art and a pretty nice drawing of Wolverine caught my eye. When I got closer to inspect it I noticed the signature and couldn't believe it was Nick's work! I had only seen his fine art portrait work and the awesome skull paintings at that point and never suspected he had any comics DNA. Anyways Lone Wolf and Cub is always a great choice and Nick really knocked it out of the park! Congrats!

Congratulations Chirs!

I had my eye on this and was an underbidder in that auction. Fell this is a perfect example of the strip. Guess the reprint publisher agrees and made this the cover.

Thanks so sharing this here with us.

Thanks Lee! I was the under bidder in a couple of the previous weeks Hazard strips with the underwater knife fight so I really didn't want to let this one go. Cheers!

Gorgeous piece Matt! Guy's work on BPRD is up there as one of the greatest runs on any title in comics history. He was able to flesh out Abe, Roger, Johann, and Liz in a way that turned them into living breathing people and these portraits perfectly capture that. I managed to get my page directly from Guy right before it became impossible to get ahold of him and I always regret not buying as many as I could afford 😄

You're missing the cultural significance of George Washington at the top and it's the fountain seen when Rocky turns around when he reches the top of the steps in the training montage.

Cool thanks for pointing that out Marcus. It's been quite a minute since I rewatched Rocky so I'm hat will be something to look forward too 👍
