So great to see this example of peak comics in the collection that loves it. John's art is elegant and expressive, and Stan's writing here is tasteful and succinct. It's true that every time a comic art collector acquires a long sought grail, you hear a bell, and an angel gets his wings.

Wonderful example from Stan's 14-month "picture frame" cover experiment from the 20¢ era! Trimpe/Severin don't get mentioned much when comics' great artist pairings are extolled, but I think they might be the peak Hulk artistic team... to me, at least! Congrats on a great pick-up!

Splendid, just splendid. I've been saving for something from Karl for months, and now I have to completely rethink my commission request, because you got here first with an identical theme idea (except mine was a Rider Waite Smith-style Judgement card featuring my pet lemur).

I should have guessed when we wore the same thing to the Met Gala that this might be next.

Karl Stevens does wonderful work here, this is very cool, indeed! Congrats on a great idea, beautifully executed!

It's bittersweet that I won't get to see Lemuriwether as the Archangel Gabriel summoning the dead to rise from their graves. On the other hand, her vuvuzella playing is atrocious, so maybe you did me a favor, after all.

Extraordinary panel! To my mind, Came The Dawn and Nina are Frazetta's great unfinished 1950s materworks. This panel could have been finished had Frank added the fading benday (graduating-tone zipatone film) as he planned. It might be cool to add it digitally for an additional image, but we'll never know what dot density or exact transition from dark to light Frazetta would have settled on with the zip.

Love the gestural flow and economic, juicy linework here. Frazetta certainly deserves the adulation he still receives!

Wonderful page from Bill Everett's 1965 return-to-comics story! I have page 7 that precedes David's bicycle adornment page 8. This was a quirky and unique run of issues, the likes of which we will never see again. Glad to see you still have it!

Respectfully, you are burying the lede in not mentioning that this epic page features four earth-shaterring DAWG panels! Man-Thing, Ezekiel and Maybelle Tork (whose spirit is inhabiting the tree here) are central supporting characters in this critically lauded classic story. But Dawg is the only one to merit an official, individually numbered, one ounce, solid bronze Ploog coin with his image on it!
Congrats on a Ploogtastic page!

Mike Ploog is one of my all-time favorite artists, and held the top spot for decades. He might share it with one or two other masters of the medium, now. This is a wonderful page, and a perfect example of the great man's amazing work!

I remember seeing this version in the Marvel house ads as a kid and thinking "What the heck, why didn't they go with this one? It's by far the superior of the two versions." Also Royer's inks are sufficiently sharp here that I took it to be inked by Joe Sinnott until relatively late in life.
All respect to you and Galactus for reaching for what you want!

Great cover... also from my own childhood collecting era... and great story! I am delusional enough to believe that certain art belongs in certain collections, and it makes me happy to hear that this art found its way home.  It's true that every time a comic art collector acquires a long sought grail, you hear a bell, and an angel gets his wings!
