The top panel (combined of course with the previous panel set-up) is one of my most favorite panels in all of comicdom; always happy to see it :golfclap:

Let's put that one up too.... lol ...I talked myself into buying that page as well, to complete the thought as it were. Collectors can talk themselves into anything.

I'm trying to imagine how much of a fight you put up against yourself on that  hm

Bravo, I had thought you had both pages. Memory slightly betrayed me, I thought the 'gaze into the face of fear' panel was immediately preceding. Still, one of the best panel sequences ever!

It was a bit of a fight because, my goodness, it was not cheap. 

But then I said myself: "Self, people don't know what Dredd is talking about on that page, you NEED the preceding page to complete the thought. And I caved in."

I can be very persuasive to myself in these types of situations.

Thanks, I appreciate it. 
It was one of the peak collecting days for me in my life, getting the Gaze page from Brian. It was about 6 months later that I got the preceding page from him. 

I was pretty giddy when I got my hands on the Gaze page. I had to rationalize the purchase to myself as "You've made thousands of good buying and selling decisions in your art collecting life....you can afford to make one really egregious error." lol

I don't collect commissions, so unfortunately I can only do 2 out of 3.  I think there are also only two artists that I have both a cover and an interior page from.  Here are a couple of Valiant pieces from CAFU.

I don't collect commissions either, but I can double the number of Valiant images in the thread :smile:
