    I'm with Brian, I loved Michael Golden's art on every thing. Especially on Bill Mantlo's Micronauts & ROM! I mean even the puppy looks cool!

    Michael Golden will be at the Wizard Comicon in Portland in a few weeks. I have almost his entire Groovy Age output autographed so this should complete things. He really was one of the greatest artists of the late 70s - early 80s. Another of those stellar artists that started out at DC but was quickly snapped up by Marvel. An interesting aside. I spoke with Joe Rubinstein at last year's Emerald City Comicon and he said Golden didn't like his inks on Micronauts and had him taken off the book. I don't understand why as they were magic together.
