Great pickup, Rick. From the era when I was devouring all things Conan. Thorne's Sonja is the gold standard.

I love the great Warlock story pages and this is one of the best, featuring Adam's internal struggle with his vampiric Soul Gem, foreshadowing his potential transformation into the evil Magus. Really great pick-up!

I love Kirby's art for his 2nd stint at Marvel.  His use of blacks is so powerful and expressionistic. Forget the coloring, incredible in b&w.

It has cosmic character design elements from his Captain Marvel and Warlock runs where you get that big afro!  This was Starlin's Bravura line and he put everything into his creator owned endeavor.  

Hi Marcus, Happy New Year and thanks for your always astute and prolific comments!  Although I believe that's not an afro but his bulbous head. :)

Love how the establishing shot draws you in with the black shadows directing you to the walking figures.  And of course the close up of Axa and the slice through the water is genius, you don't even realize you are being tricked by this effect because the brontosaurai are so engaging.  

An exceptional page, so well designed.  I can see why it was featured on the cover.

Super!  I feel that every time we see Metron floating alone in space is an homage to his scenes in Jack Kirby's Hunger Dogs graphic novel.

I used to own the last page Hunger Dogs splash.  Marcus, you done ruined my day!

Anyhow great page, Adam, the best shot of Metron in the whole mini-series!  Please keep me in mind if you ever decide to part with it.  So you can share in my Metron regret. :)

I believe this is a prelim.  It's a complicated design and probably required some planning.   I've seen the finished inked piece and it has visible pencils on it.  But still very cool!
