Guesses only, meaning if you know the who it is don't answer. Let people guess. I took out some art and all the house dressing to make it harder to identify. It is a published piece.

John Byrne channeling Neal Adams? It looks like Byrne inking, especially on the face. Maybe Sienkiewicz pencils?

Looks like Barry Windsor Smith to me. The face looks pretty Byrneish too, though.

Hmm. I had this issue back in the day, but I could have sworn it was Byrne-only.

Perhaps Ron Wilson? Inked by JB?

I would agree with Rebecca, but in reverse order.

Ink line looks like JB. Honestly not sure of pencils.

I came across a thumbnail scan of the original art on Heritage and was confused. Neal Adams was not within my search parameters. The immediate question which came to mind was did John ink a Neal cover, but upon viewing the full size scan, I realized it was all John channeling Neal.

Early Sienkiewicz was a lot like that, but by this time he'd gone kind of weird and angular. There's something I love about the inking of Iron Fist there, so much with economy ala Alex Toth!
