WOW great work! LOVE the "movement".  Great homage to Starlin's Iron Man #56 page 1. Of course Starlin is a HUGE Kirby fan!

Good job using Johns original art from my CAF gallery showing this art the way he intended it!

Much better layout than the published cover! As you probobly already know SS #8 was to be another double issue. Due to sagging sales it was split into 2 issues - the 2nd half becoming ish #9 (see pages for #9 on CAF where "8" is inked over and "9" is put in) John rushed back to the drawing board to creat the additional cover

First of all, I'm sorry, but 25 comments is just unacceptable for this priceless gem.  I mean, come on, show some respect for crying out loud.  Secondly, even though this may not sound exactly right, but thank goodness for sagging sales.  At least the world got an extra John Buscema Surfer cover out of it.  Anyway, congrats on snagging one of these.  Seventeen might sound like a lot, but finding one is like an Indiana Jones level score.

Thx for the kind words. "Back-in-the-day" when this was first posted there wan't as much traffic on the CAF, hence the low views/comments. And btw there were 18.

Captain Marvel #29 and Warlock #9.  A pair of truly iconic covers, with iconic characters, in iconic poses, by a legendary artist.  I would never split these up.  Ever!  One of the reasons I love having the original art is that when the editor or publisher decides to play around with the image (either by statting or re-sizing things), it's great to have the actual drawing as envisioned by the artist.

They belong together.  cosmic brothers

Hello - I just wanted to drop you a quick line and say I purchased the story (minus the cover - couldn't swing both) at the Profiles auction in Dec, and it will stay together for another generation. 

Wow congrats!  That's great to hear. At one time I had the cover double spread and all five splashes in one giant frame! I just sent a set of photo copies of all the Original pencils to Marvel who is going to make some sort of artists addition in the next year or so. I’ll be glad to send a full set to you too if you like. Just message me

Thanks Len. I wish I'd been old enough for it to occur to me to buy some art off him!

I think I was 28, in the late 80's when we started visiting the Kirby's and buying art.

I was wondering, if you only met him once, how did u get the picture signed?
