Don Wilson? It's maddening that this question can't be definitively answered? Never the less this is an impressive and I think important work. It's great you have the album also.

I think it is Don Wilson. I've read that "The Daily Planet" team was a collaboration between Don Wilson and Peter Amft, they did numerous album covers together.

Thanks for recounting the tale behind this spectacular page --- if only I had the foresight to start buying OA at 11...

Yeah, I wish I bought more back in the day.

BTW, this is based on a Zdenek Burian piece.  I didn't know that when I left my last comment on this piece nearly six years ago.  : )

I just looked that up, I see the similarities.

Really nice cover. Keown almost looks like Byrne on his She-Hulk covers but he really delivers. 

I agree with you. When this was being auctioned off, there was a Byrne She-Hulk cover that was being offered, as much as I love Byrne's work, this one just stood out.

You cannot go wrong with Wrightson painting a brooding gothic protagonist on a dark and stormy night.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Very Nice Page!!---I should know personally because I used to Own this Page MANY Years Ago!!---not until later did I realize I really liked this page because of Bob McLeods inking!!----his inking really made the whole story!!

It's always cool coming across past owners.  I agree, McLeod inks on this page/story is exceptional.  I am also a fan of Sienkiewicz's art that was influenced by Neal Adams.

I was bidding on this in the Heritage Signature but then the lot vanished. What happened?

I requested a reserve when I submitted a couple pf pieces.  They weren't able to, so I took it off.

Just imagine the amount of time it took Platt to draw this double spread! Amazing amount of details. By the way, you have a phenomenal Platt collection. I was lucky just to get one!

Oh yeah, the detail is amazing. This is one of those pieces that you really need to see in person to fully appreciate it. I just saw the Platt piece you got, awesome!!! Thanks for the compliment.
