Hey, you made it. Now, can you use your pull to get me in.

one of my favorite Steranko X-men covers.......

 

[Ze-man]

I was reading a BA Marvel recently and saw a set of posters by Steranko for sale. Not the popular set I had seen before, but a different one. Now I wish I could remember what book it was, and which set it was for sale. The Hulk poster had a definite Cap 110 feel to it.

 

Since this is his official fan club I figured you would know.

Here's a pair of Steranko sigs from my collections

[DrWatson]

50 is by far his best X-men cover.

[Shadow]

Besides the SA X-Men, the only Steranko book I used to own was Nick Fury #3. (At least, I think it was #3. It had a girl being chased by a hound on the cover.) I got rid of it in my mid-80's college era purge.

[DrWatson]

He had some nice Strange Tales covers as well.

[Shadow]

I think of Steranko alot like Frank Miller. I think they are exceptional and groundbreaking with layouts but not quite the "detail" artists I tend to gravitate towards. (ie. Adams, Wrightson, etc. )

[Wrightson fan]

50 is by far his best X-men cover.

 

 

I agree Jim. I hope to have a 9.4 copy of #50 someday. Here are examples of my admission to the club. Met the man back in 1990 and had a nice conversation with him about Orson Welles.

 

Signed on the first page by Steranko.

 

 

CGC 9.4 White #110

 

 

Signed by Steranko on the title page.

Great Books everyone. Just Think on that X-Men #50 If that was Pheonix instead of Polaris

Yes I believe Nick Fury 3 is the one you described.

[Red Hook]

I'll have to check on the date of the program he signed for me but it was no later than 1970. Then I met him again in 2006. Thirty six years later. His hair was still magnificent. :-)

 

I'll hunt down the program and post scans sometime soon.

Here is my only Steranko Green River....not bad.

Woo hoo! I'm in!

The only thing about his art, is that sometimes his legs look a little funky. Usually only when the characters are in motion.

A classic Strange Tales Fury cover:

 

 

Classic Fury, in homage to a Williamson EC cover:
