Congratulations! So amazing.

This was a serendipitous and unscripted moment. When two issues of X-Men expanded into three, additional art pages were needed, which Byrne provided with minimal plot input from Claremont. Being a Marvel Silver Age enthusiast, Byrne thought it would be fun to include a tribute to the forgotten D'Bari from Avengers #4. He didn't contemplate how this genocide completely transformed the stakes of the "Dark Phoenix" story's resolution.

Amazing piece of history published in conjunction with Supergirl's sacrificial death in Crisis on Infinite Earths. "Supergirl is in the past" (on the subsequent page) is one of the most tragic lines in any comic book.

I'm not convinced that Cropera didn't make a trip to the crossroads himself ;)

In fact, I have pages from a Robert Johnson-themed Dampyr story which I will debut down the line. It has interesting parallels with the recent "Sinners" movie of the same theme.

Although nominally set in the 1820s, Zagor seems to often borrow elements from later eras. The skis and poles look decidedly modern.

Great story with a theme that's at least as timely now as when it first came out. I don't recall the plot detail now, but the piano appears to have been assembled from spare lumber.
