Wow. You packed them guys in there. Awesome !Looks like Baron Blood's about to break a tooth again. Nice to see Golgatha. I'll tell you what, in another time and place he may have gone down as one of those legendary villians.

Man! That is some great stuff! The more he appears, the more I love Golgotha.

Alot to like about this piece...the expression on Baron Blood's face, the muscularity and placement / perspective of Cap's legs, Golgotha....
all in all, great job!!!

This depiction of Baron Blood and Golgotha is great because they are quite scary. I know Puck and Cap are smiling because they're used to dealing with horrific villains, but I get a sense of dread just looking at these two.

Baron Blood is a very challenging character, artistically. I've drawn him several times, including in two issues of CAPTAIN AMERICA, and I have yet to feel that I have fully captured what should be a particularly horrifying visage. There's something kinda. . . goofy in the overall design of the face, and I say that as one who stands behind no one when it comes to admiration for Frank Robbins!

Cap's expression says it all, for me... he KNOWS the villains will be defeated, and with Puck by his side, they'll both have a FUN time doing so!

Magnificent composition, great characters, and Puck and Cap do indeed look as if they're having fun. It makes me think of some of the 40s Batman and Robin art.
This piece makes me so long for a Puck series (or even mini-series.) That character was SO deep, so rich with possibilities, and not half as blood thirsty as Wolverine. I know Mr. Byrne's table was full at the time... but I think such a series would have been a great hit.

Like the broken statue of Ozymandias, nothing beside remains of my Puck.

I also feel that Baron Blood is as dreadful a foe as can be drawn. The version here is my favorite by far. Wiry, powerful, sharp, bitey. Very bitey.

The perspective used on Caps legs would make Kirby proud. I struggle with getting limbs to look right, at that angle, behi d the body. Great piece.
