  1. What a wonderful painting. So much was lost in the final cover. Those 'You could win this bike' banners marred many a Marvel comic in their day. X-Men 137 for another example. Great blog!

  2. What a wonderful painting. So much was lost in the transition to the final cover. Those stupid 'You could win this bike' or 'You could win five grand' banners marred many a Marvel comic back then. X-Men 137 is another example. Great blog!

  3. Thanks Anonymous! Appreciate the kind words.

    It's amazing to see how much was lost. Master Khan seems uncomfortably squeezed under the logo. It almost would have been better to shrink the image and put a black border around it.
