11" x 17" illo of Iceman with your choice of either Storm or Phoenix, no backgrounds. The details are:

- Iceman in Neal Adams vintage appearance

- Storm or Phoenix in costume of your choice from your run on X-Men

- Please give the piece a "fun" vibe, with the lady X-character interacting with an ice construct, perhaps sitting on a slide similar to the following:

(The thought of having one of the ladies SITTING on Bobby's ice slide made me shiver, so I went in another direction, as you can see. . . )

" With a corncob pipe and two eyes made out of coal......"

Nice!

     That's one thing I really miss about how Iceman used to be drawn.  This recent "reinvention" of the character seems more like someone's fan-fic cop-out (hence John's often-stated distaste for the "fans turned pro") than anything like creative writing.  Really, kids... Iceman literally turning into ice?

     Count me as enjoying this glimpse of the pre-Dark Phoenix Jean these days.  Well done!

Bobby was shown literally turning to ice in an early issue, where he experimented with making himself as "transparent" as he could, mimicking the Invisible Girl.

That idea, which had not been mentioned before, was promptly forgotten.

Perhaps I was some kind of proto-anal-fanboy, since that moment bothered me, even as a kid. Where does the cream come from? It was funny how eyebeams and wings and telekinetic powers fretted me not a jot, but Bobby making ice cream disturbed my early-teen sensibilities!
