Appearing seemingly out of nowhere, his art transformed a moribund Captain Marvel into a sparkling jewel of art effects and cosmic storytelling that followed him through the successive titles he took over. In my own personal countdown, I rated Avengers Annual # 7 as the number three comic of all time. That ending to the first Thanos saga, aided immensely by Josef Rubinstein inks, still has the same powerful punch 40 years later as it did when it first hit the newsstands.keythd23https://www.blogger.com/profile/00690368680707726203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-3448942966999878872016-09-09T11:21:38.710-04:002016-09-09T11:21:38.710-04:00What?

Ever since, its never quite looked right to me in colour.<br />That page with Thanos removing death's hood made quite the impression when I was a ten year old kid...<br /><br />Thanks a lot for this one.<br /><br />-sean<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-33382017702477176842016-09-07T09:20:17.322-04:002016-09-07T09:20:17.322-04:00In a word ...
