A worthy goal. These are lovely studies, especially the zombie!

Thanks, but with the vampire up for sale looks like that goal isn't going to happen. Still plan on hanging on to the zombie though.

Whoaaa! Is Doctor Doom about to lift Mjolnir? Is he truly worthy? What a stunning page from a great issue of Fantastic Four! Gorgeous art from Mike McKone and Andy Lanning! Love the composition of that top panel, with Mjolnir in the foreground and Doom behind it, grasping its handle! And then to cut away to a side shot of Doom's head, postponing the moment we will discover whether he is worthy...Priceless! Wonderful page to have in your collection, or in anyone's collection for that matter! Congrats!

Thanks, Bill! For a number of reasons, I've had to liquidate most of my collection over the last year but this is one of the few I hope to hold onto!

An absolutely -spectacular- example of the "bigger!  BIGGER!  BETTER!!!" approach of this run, which Ed's bold, bodacious, and bombastic style fit to a (capital!) "T".  I love Thor's "business as usual" expressions here (especially in the second panel); he doesn't even betray any emotion until panel 3's money shot (what am I saying?  ALL of these are money shots!).  Great inking touches here as well (the impact lines and lighting source in panel 1, Mjolnir's "whooshing" in panel 2, just... ALL of panel 3... :) )  A beautiful black and white balance to the whole page, too, with the heavy blacks on the left of panel 1, on the right in panel 2, and spread throughout panel 3.  Thor's throwing all he has at Red Hulk here... surely it will be enough to rake him down for the count, right...?  Fantastic!!  Congrats, Tony!

Thanks, Jason. Really love the action on this page - it's like three mini splashes!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Crazy cool painting by Mike Ploog! i love this image of the two prehistoric tribespeople riding a dinosaur-like steed to escape some kind of futuristic space ship! It's kind of amusing that the female warrior is futilely shooting arrows to try to bring down the metallic craft. What a fabulous piece by Ploog! Love the slightly humorous style Ploog used here, it's a very much in keeping with his style! Great pick-up, congrats!

Thanks, Bill! The female is actually a recurring character in some of Mike's illustrations (according to his book, "The Art of Ploog 2".)  And it looks like she's down to her last arrow. Futile, indeed!
What amazed me about this piece is that the colors are applied so smoothly, I initially thought it was a print. For someone who became famous for drawing werewolfs and monsters, it made me appreciate Mike's talent even more.

Galactus in view is the moment that you can share
Pen and ink lines, surf the sky, I soar over you
And if this can't find its way to a home, it should be sent here
'Cause Galactus in view is the moment that we are scared

Jimbo, it's you on my mind, large art is so rare
Artwork by you is a feeling I just can't compare
And this Salgado gets in my arms, Jiggy priced it real fair
'Cause Galactus for you are the artworks we love to share

And if this can't find itself a home, it just wouldn't be fair
'Cause Galactus sees you in a moment we all can fear

 Let me guess; sung to the tune of "Precious and Few"?

You missed your calling as a lyricist. :)

Phenomenal Ultimate Hulk drawing! I'm struck by how massive that Hulk-Buster Robot is! Love how Hulk has leaped up onto the Robot and is proceeding to tear it apart! The guy inside looks terrified! He should be.

Agreed. Hitch's attention to detail is nothing short of astounding. He hardly ever took the easy way out of a drawing.

The way Velluto used Black Panther's body to frame and therefore bring the eye directly towards Iron Fist is simply magnificent. I came sooooo close to entering my claim on this one! It was incredibly tempting....
