Captain America origin DPS by Ron Garney and Bob Wiacek.  Ron is one of those 'under-appreciated' artists in my opinion. Loved his hulk, silver surfer, captain america and daredevil.  The man can draw action.

As a side note - Got a notice from HA that someone wants to make an offer on this art.  Has anyone used that feature? I would generally prefer to deal with the person directly.

Just won this in the most recent HA. Full on nostalgia play for me. I've been looking for one of these pages for over a year. And this is a great example.

Very nice, congratulations. I napped through the auction (by mistake), to beat me you would have needed to go over $700. I'm happy for both of us, as I really shouldn't be buying more 'pretty shiny things' as a friend of mine just brought up earlier today!

I wasn't even aware they'd made these books into a graphic novel, nice.

Well, I'm glad you took a nap! Like I said, I've been looking for one of these pages for over a year. I talked with a couple of different collectors who had pages, and either they were not ones I was that interested in, or they would not sell them. So, I was happy when this one popped up. And it's such an awesome example. It is almost like a comic strip in that it is pretty self-contained, and has two setup/joke sequences. You don't need to know the story or context to get the jokes, or wonder what's going on. Phil Foglio and Tim Sale did a fantastic job, and this piece stuns in person.

Neither was I until much later. I always wanted Phil Foglio (The original cover and interior illustration artist for the Myth Adventures books) to do a comic of this series, and when I found out about it - and saw the art for it - I wanted a page really badly.
