You can't go wrong with Untold Tales of Spider-Man. Fun, not-so-edgy stories, and great-looking art that remind you of the good old days of Spidey.  Big congrats Jeff!

I can't believe this piece is so old, it looks so sharp and fresh and beautiful.  Also, when my ancestors came over from Europe, their last name got changed from "Benda" to Benaka" due to a typo, so I'll be by to pick this up soon.  But seriously, big congrats Ben!

That's a great looking issue and page, congrats Michael!  I think I prefer Sinnott's inks quite a bit to Dick Giordano's inks from the following issue.  And the Sandman's costume is always awesome.

Big congrats, and thanks so much for the kind words! My Colan/Palmer DD #87 page was one of the first original art pages I ever purchased, back in the mid-1990s. Your DD #89 page is much nicer, with so many great elements, including thrilling action scenes and the lovely Black Widow. Gene's interpretation of Electro's mask is also quite novel and fun. What a great page!

Sal B. and John V. were a great team on Captain America.  John's inks gave Sal's art some real substance.  I think their Falcon action pages are just as good as their pages featuring Cap.  Great pick-up Rob!
