Very cool!  That was published in Charlton Bullseye #1 in 1975. Interesting combination to have new artist John Byrne inking directly over Ditko's pencils from 1967 (intended for Captain Atom #90).  This was reprinted by DC in 2007 in The Action Heroes Archives #2.

Very nice!  It's great you were able to identify the issue this came from. While I'm more of a Marvel guy, I do really love Dave's style from this era and it's too bad he didn't get to ink more of his own art at Marvel.

Nice Wolverine sketch!  I remember those 3-packs fondly and X-Men #104 was also one of the first comics I remember reading.

Wow -- congrats on the great pickup!  I guess Sunfire was really serious since he hasn't shown up in X-Men comics too often since then. 

Great Nightcrawler sketch!  I also love Cockrum's early X-Men, but I'm a huge fan of his artwork in general.

Ha - yeah thanks!  I guess Chaykin was definitely going for a space western theme here.

Nice page and thanks for posting the back!  I've never heard Gil being referred to as Gilbert before!

Thanks for sharing.  I've always loved Steve's art and can't believe he's been gone for 5 years now.

Amazing piece of art!  Glad I got to see it in person recently!

Very cool!  I had no idea that Gil Kane ever worked on the Spidey strip.  As much as I like Romita, it would have been nice if they had let Gil finish a few of these himself.

Great page - especially the dramatic bottom right panel!  Is there White-Out on Stan's face in panel 2?  That looks like Marie Severin's work to me as opposed to Dave C.

Very cool!  I'm guessing Dave drew this for a fanzine shortly before going pro, but no idea if it was published or not.

Great Corrigan strip!  I love the Zip-A-Tone and shading!

Yeah I've only ever seen one other page from this book for sale (page 8) and then the Spidey pages with the Hulk are super expensive!  Those Defenders pages are still a fairly good deal.

Really nice Storm page!  Dave's second X-Men run was a bit under-appreciated at the time, but he and Rubinstein did some great work!

Great page from Cockrum's peak period!  Lucky for you I forgot to bid and you got a really good deal :)

Very nice page!  Byrne's Hulk run was short, but it feels like a lot happened and it did setup several of the storylines that Peter David would pickup on.  

Wow -- that's a really great commission!  Not sure how I never noticed this before.  Let me know if you ever want to part with it :)

Yeah I think Dave gave up on the LSH homage since Claremont and Byrne had already introduced a few new members in X-Men #137. I checked the comic and the bottom panel is the first appearance of the "Borderers" division of the Guard with new members (from left to right) Sea Spine, Webwing, Sp'yxx, Trypthe and Blackthorn.  The feline guy on the left is N'rill'irēē who was introduced in issue #155,

Wow-- fantastic page!  I love Cockrum's Imperial Guard designs and this is beautifully illustrated.  I'll have to check, but I think it might also be the "birth page" for some of those new characters in the bottom panel.

Awesome page and it's great that it's signed by the main creators!

Great page!  Congrats on the pickup!

Cool page and that sketch is an extra added bonus!

Great cover!  Gil Kane was still doing some amazing work late in his career!

Very nice page!  I remember this mini-series was a big deal at the time and Paul Neary did some nice work here and on Captain America.

Wow -- that's a beautiful Legion page!  Congrats!

Wow -- great Cockrum cover from his peak period!  Congrats!

Very cool!  I remember seeing this for sale and I was hoping someone was going to restore it!  Nice job!

Awesome action page even if there's not a ton of X-Men on there.  I've really started to appreciate Dave's second run on the X-Men a lot more recently.

Very cool!  These images were used on page 16 of The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (Deluxe Edition) #6 from 1986. 

Great early Cockrum page!

Great page!  I love the layout of that top panel!

Ha yeah - I have several Trimpe pages from this series and it's definitely a unique take.  Something about this particular page really appeals to me though.

Gil Kane really knew how to design a dramatic cover and those Palmer inks are great!  

Thanks for posting a large scan.  It's awesome to see all of the great detail and Layton's inks really work well over Dave's pencils!  Congrats again on the amazing pickup!

Ha - that's great, even if it's hard to believe that Hulk wouldn't have snapped the pencil in 2 seconds!

Great DPS and I love Garney's design which makes it look like Hulk's fist is coming right off the page!

Thanks Dave!  I lucked out with a few cheaper covers recently, but based on the last Heritage auction I won't be getting a Keown cover anytime soon :)

Very cool -- reminds me a bit of Bob Layton's Hercules.  I've really been enjoying seeing all of the Mike Machlan art turn up recently and it's a pity he didn't get more of his work published.

Ha yeah - I think it was well bought.  You can check out the Heritage Auction archives to see the price - pretty reasonable for a 90's Incredible Hulk series cover in my opinion :)

Thanks -- I have several Medina Hulk pages I still need to post one of these days.

Great cover!  Thanks for sharing -- even if it took a while!

Very cool page!  This is actually from A Ditko #16 from 2012 (you can see the cover in my CAF gallery).  This was reprinted in trade paperback form in 2019 as part of The 32 Series Vol. 4.

Agreed that this is a top page from this very memorable issue.  Congrats on the great pickup!

Great page!  I think Gary Frank was probably the most compatible with Peter David out of all of his Hulk pencilers and this was a memorable storyline.  

Wow -- that's peak Paul Smith X-Men and such a great image!  I also really appreciate the fun Cockrum corner box art.  Congrats!

Wow congrats!  Really nice page and agreed that Lightle Legion art almost never comes up for sale.  

Great pickup!  I had this in my saved artworks for CAF Live, but I was cheap and didn't buy anything :)

Great page and that pinup on the back is amazing!

Great to see Cockrum art getting so much love here!  Congrats on the amazing pickup -- definitely one of the most dramatic and memorable pages from Dave's first X-Men run!
