-Marvel Two
In One #53 pg.17-
This was the very first
page of original art I ever bought. Purchased it at 'Now & Then' back
in the early 80's. I was a big Byrne addict at the time and when I saw
a page by him I had to have it. Luckily it was still at a price a kid could
afford then so I got it. One panel (the last one) was cut out and a replacement
taped in, then the word balloon was glued on top. Also of note, the second
last panel has a penciled in chain in Thundra's hand but the inker (Joe
Sinnott) decided against inking it. Go figure. Similar cases can be found
throughout the page, as Byrne drew ears in slightly different positions
and Thundra had wider hips. Guess Sinnott felt he knew better than this
rookie kid (it is from 1979). This was the lead in to Thundra becoming
a wrestler and fits what would become my usual goal of a story on one page. |
