Great Curt Swan page! What an underappreciated artist in a lot of circles.

Thanks for the kind words, guys! Of the Swan pages I own, this is probably my favorite: the dynamic layout, the inks that augment rather than overpower, the characters and the story--all elements coming together just right.

I still prefer original artwork with lettering on the page.

I completely agree, Derek. To me, the lettering is part of the art, from the placement of the balloons and the words themselves--an intrinsic part of the aesthetic and sorely missed these days.

Awesome Larocque pieces Toby. Those pieces really have me chomping at the bit to see what he has in store for the piece I commissioned.

Most of these Larocque pieces I get are part of the anniversary project he has going on.
