Except for one "naughty" sketchbook drawing of Marionette, I think this is it for my Micronauts work, Mike.

(Hm. Almost a hundred views and only two posts? Micro-love for the Mircronauts?)

JB: Trade secret!

Aw, man! Well it looks great and publishable, which I guess is the whole point, so well done!

I was a fan of the little see-through toys and not Marvel's comics (why two different lines with the same name, anyway?), but this is pretty fantastic!

Poor Jan.  It seems like she spent half her early Avengers career locked in one tube or another  :^)

Great job. I loved those characters back when the book came out. You capture them really well here. Nicely done making Commander Rann a lefty. Not enough of us..um those in comics.

Credit there to Dave Cockrum.   I used his first issue cover as part of the reference for this piece, and he drew Rann holding his pistol in his left hand.

I'd forgotten that. Time to go dig out the back issues and do a little walk down memory lane this fine Saturday now.
