The 1980s highlight of these solicitations to me was this amazing cover by Nick Bradshaw who draws so much like Arthur Adams that I thought it had been done by Adams!
And now, onto the solicitations:
Written BY STAN LEE
PENCILED BY MOEBIUS & KEITH POLLARD
A star falls to earth. Panic grips the planet as mankind prepares for its inevitable end. But the star is a ship, and inside is a god. All he asks is adoration. Overcome with relief, man rushes to obey. There is only one voice of dissent that will not be silenced: the Silver Surfer, who recognizes the “god” as his former master. But why has Galactus encouraged mankind to live down to his darkest nature? From Stan Lee and Moebius, one of France’s living treasures, comes a bewitching tale of man’s folly and nobility. Plus: Almost every hero on Earth has fallen before the unexpected power of Mrrungo-Mu, the alien leader of the Enslavers. All except the Silver Surfer. But what chance does even he have against such power? Collecting SILVER SURFER (EPIC) #1-2 and SILVER SURFER: THE ENSLAVERS HC.

Hello, the paperback with the Korvac saga is in the February soliciations too. ¿¿¿THOSE WERE THE AVENGERS!!!! Bye.
ReplyDeleteHey Anonymous, that was a great storyline indeed. Unfortunately a few years before the 1980s. :) But definitely a great Avengers collection to pick up in TPB form.
ReplyDeleteups, sorry. Here in Spain that saga was edited in the 80s. my mistake. Bye.
ReplyDeleteNo worries. Thanks for the comment! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to disappoint, but...
ReplyDeleteThat cover art is NOT by Arthur Adams.
It is by NICK BRADSHAW, and for a modern comic issue (POINT ONE # 1).
Here's the link to the issue and art:

In all truth, when I first saw it, I also thought that it was by Adams, but it seemed a little rough to be his work and so i looked a little deeper.
It seems Bradshaw, who does a lot of cover work these days, is an Adams devotee, and his style is very reminiscent.
I hope I was of some help.
Hey P, thanks for that clarification...
