The Avengers #23 [1965] - Cover
Doesn’t Kang look great on this cover, inked by John Romita in his first job on his return to Marvel? It looks even better in the original version (which you can see here as part of an interview in ALTER EGO, or in the various reprints), before Kang’s outstretched hand was moved for some […]

Two-Gun Kid #64 [1963] - Cover

Inks on this cover by Dick Ayers.

Chic Stone inks this cover.

But still, the Hulk and the Thing drawn by Kirby and Sinnott, that’s always some fun.

The Avengers #156 [1977] - Cover
That Doom does get around, doesn’t he? The Doom figure is a little small on this cover, but it gets the point across, and the figures of Cap and the Scarlet Witch are really good (and quite the trooper she is, going into battle with Doom with her arm in a sling).
Al Milgrom handles […]
