History, indeed, but the awesome art of John Byrne and Terry Austin bring it to the next level... Fantastic page!
Thanks Mark! A little bit of levity can be well appreciated... Fun, tongue-in-cheek and double entendres... And the ladies, of course!
Impressive (but, then, is there any other?) Joe Kubert cover! The stance of the Hellcat, with her back to the "camera" is a bold composition choice, indeed! And, beyond, her, the circular display of the GI's crew, each with a different attitude and unique look!
Beautiful action page! The crisp inks of Dan Adkins perfectly enhance John Byrne's powerful pencils!
Impressive cover, with John Severin's inks nicely enhancing the powerful punch of Herb Trimpe's pencils!
As improbable as it may seem, the team-up of Ant-Man with the Hulk was a formidable combination indeed! But, then, both are bona fide founding members of the Avengers! And, also both, when they're not super-heroing, are scientists with an agenda and a troubled life... Art-wise, it is certainly no coïncidence that, at the same exact period, Herb Trimpe was also depicting a reboot of Ant-Man in Marvel Feature (a short-lived attempt, but a nice one, nonetheless...).
Thanks Bill! I agree, of course, we're clearly into the realm of drama, here! Fate always lied heavy on the shoulders of Elektra...
Splendid cover! Mike Kaluta at his peak!
Very Sinister, very Nasty, but also very powerful page!
Well, Hulk doesn't like a lot of people and things and stuff... but he should like this page and thank Sal Buscema and Klaus Janson for such a dynamic portrayal, surely quite faithful to his ordinary state of mind!
Great page from the quintessential Keith Giffen era!
Wonderful page! The dizzling array of techniques conjured on this splash is staggering and each is perfectly arranged into a coherent whole... Congrats!
Outstanding! A milestone in comics history and thanks for sharing this very emotional story...
It doesn't age, only gets better in time! Plus, I had not seen a Captain America of this stature since Neal Adams' take on the Avengers in the early 70's...
I also have to admit it took me a while to adjust to seeing Frank Robbins' art at Marvel... I did love his comic strip work, especially Johnny Hazard that I found firmly grounded in the Milton Caniff tradition. I also liked it a lot when he joined DC to provide some hard-boiled edged visuals to Batman and the Shadow (this, after years of providing high-quality scenarios for the Caped Crusader - worth checking!). But the gaudy colors of the standard Marvel crew seemed to me a little bit awkward for his style. But, I learned to appreciate it, especially his dynamics on figures that I still find totally cartoonish (your page has a lot of this!), but it fits in so well with the spirit of the title that it makes for a great combination! And, yet, I wonder what he could have done with a grittier character like the Punisher, or Frank Miller's version of Daredevil...
Thanks Paul for the suggestion! I'll take some time to do some archeology and dig deep into my very dusty archives just to see if some of these cut-outs have survived! It could be fun...
Hey! It's Nebulon once again! Oh, wow! You're turning on wonder after wonder! Don't stop!
It's been proven again and again: however zany the concept may be, Jack Kirby will turn it into a powerhouse! There are multiple examples of this scattered among the Fourth World epic issues... and here is another great one! I have always loved MM 17 for all his excess and breakneck speed story... Congrats for this great page!
There is no doubt about the Pop Art dimension of Jack Kirby's art! Very powerful!
Killer cover, indeed! These X-Men group covers are consistantly impressive and Jim Cheung got into that exclusive club with a top-notch installment... Well done!
Thanks Bill for your comment! I have not read the novel either, but when it was reissued in 1973 with that Chris Foss cover, this was the pitch printed on the back:
"Take a piece of bent copper wire . . . and conquer the universe. Invent a supernatural intelligence . . . and call it Eustace. Get captured by an army of hostile anthropoids . . . and use your imagination to come out on top.
Leeming's mission was suicidal from the start: to blast a stripped-down scoutship through the massive firepower of the Lathian space navy. So when he got caught there was only one way he could stay alive . . . scare hell out of the aliens with his imaginary protector: a piece of wire called Eustace."
Suitably intriguing, but, yes, it does look like the starship got serously damaged by enemy firepower! But, apparently, the hero does pull through!
Congrats Brian! Avengers 54-58 is also a very high point for me, both artistically and storywise!
Oh, wow! It's Nebulon! One of the most perfectly designed characters ever... What a thrill! And the unique Steve Gerber storytelling style gives this page a unique vibe on which Sal Buscema and Klaus Janson take a wild ride and deliver!
The stance of Conan on this page is unusual, but he does look ready to jump into action at any moment... Gil Kane did a wonderful job with this man-on-a-short-fuse attitude! Also, the pristine inks of Dan Adkins really shine here, making each background character, however small,unique!
First, this page is splendid! The Sal Buscema/Klaus Janson team worked wonders! And, yes, this helmet evil stare counts among the best Magneto shots ever, ranking next to Kirby's X-Men 1 and Byrne's X-Men 112...
Second, I also think your Defenders animation film deserves a chance to get on the big screen! The Scorpio stroryline, with all its hoops and holes, leaves ample opportunities for good stories... and, with the Defenders in it, it's still a sure-fire smash hit!
Being from the same generation, I perfectly understand the drive that sparkled your creativity and the urge to get more of these characters and stories... I really admire the fact that you want all the way to plan an animated film! On my side, I resorted to creating cut-outs to play with (all this long before action figures...) and I tried to do my own comic stories, which, due to my very limited talent and despite some heavy swiping, never reached completion...
Oh, well... Thanks for sharing!
It's a particular trait that I always loved with Thor during the Lee/Kirby age: the constant switch between highly cosmic epics and more down-to-Earth adventures! And, however quirky it may appear, the interaction between the God of Thunder and the all-too-human mob does work splendidly! And, yes, the inks of Bill Everett are shining bright!
While often lauded for his superlative inking works, Dan Adkins is sadly underrated as a penciller... But his solid compositions and high contrasts show him as a complete artist, as is amply demonstrated on this page!
Thanks Paul! I never tire of the sheer awesomeness of Kirby's Kosmic Kreativity!
Thanks Paul! I'd say this page has the right measure of melodrama...
Thanks Paul! Happily, Pietro is also quick at doing great recaps!
Thanks Paul! For me, this is a page with two half-splashes, if such a thing exists!
Spectacular page by Ploog! I agree he is at best when inking himself...
Impressive page from John Stokes and a great take on one of my favourite characters as well! Graphically, a very interesting mix of US and UK influences and approaches!
Ah, classic vintage... There's nothong like it! Bien joué, mon ami !
Beautiful! X-Cutioner's song was such a great arc!
Thanks Mark! I won't spoil you, promised! But I confirm it's worth tracking...
