The Fastball Special Appreciation Thread

[comicwiz]

A tribute of sorts, to the old-X-days when we'd see Colossus throw Wolvie at a Sentinels skull -- or something of that sort. Sometimes it would be the Beast doing the honours -- and I vaguely recall a variation where Wolverine tossed an X-Man (can't remember who it was).

 

Anyhow, I thought it would be interesting to start a thread including pics/images/scans of your favourite fastball special artistic renditions. I thought I'd start it off with this one, as I really like this artists rendition:

I have been wanting to draw some Fred Hembeck-style knees in the worst way for quite some time. Thanks to Comicwiz for giving me the opportunity.

Wow...You mean I'm not the only fan of the stylings of Fred Hembeck???...

there was a varaiation with Storm involved. She used some hurricane winds to toss Colossus at a Sentinel

Not even close to being the only one!!! The FF Roast is still one of my all-time favorite comics.

I believe this is the first "fastball special" that the X-Men did. It's from X-Men 106.

I'd hide those hariy feet behind the knobby-knees and popeye-forearm-like calves too

Godd stuff. But did they really use THAT much Adamantium in Wolvies skeleton?

Incorrect Old Guy.

 

Can anyone name the first appearance of the Colossus/Wolverine Fastball Special?
