Feydaway Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 A little bit at the end of this explosion, but I'm glad I grabbed a copy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro. Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 A 9.8 copy of MP #1 still eludes me but I think this will work just fine for now Damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepatkm Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Finally added The Punisher #100 Michael Golden Variant in CGC 9.8 to my collection. I just wish CGC had a separate spot in the registry for this book, also would label them as a variant cover. Definitely different than the Frank Teran foil cover.

Amadeus Arkham Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Nothing to write home about, but I finally got my copies of the Oni Press Jay & Silent Bob books. #1 is probably a 9.2-9.4, #2-4 are 9.6-9.8s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an intense cover, never saw it before. Congrats on finding one in 9.8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble Nostalgia aka Nikelspot Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Thank you, yep it's a piece I thought I would never own. Here a few more cool pieces I recently added to my art collection. And I'm always looking to buy more Cosmic Marvel pieces if anybody has any to sell 1st New appearance of Toxin/Eddie Brock: Death of Magus Retold: Final Page Splash to IW #2: Final Warlock vs. Magus Battle from Infinity War: And some other goodies: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 While I obviously have respect for all the people enjoying his art, I can’t really stand Ron Lim's early 1990s work. His defects keeps popping and popping to my eyes… I don’t know who Toxin is as I did not follow Spidey much afterwards, but that one is very nice!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder in many thing in life. I always strive to make a distinction and separate simple taste from criticism. There are great artists I really just don’t like, but I recognize the quality of the work. With Lim, especially in his early years there are proper flaws, both in proportions, anatomy, composition, and they are not deliberate interpretations: they just show a lack of background in drawing, an insufficient grasp on the volumes of the figures, etc. He had and has good composition skills, he knows how to tell a story, but the drawings in themselves have often many defects. Now, if one wants to find such defects in artists like – say – Todd McFarlane, it becomes more difficult to determine whether they are limits or in single cases choices, because his art is caricatural, but with Lim that always worked in a realistic way they just pop up. This does not mean he did not have qualities, but his work at the time was still immature and had objective flaws (I have not followed him recently but I seem to get he improved, much like Jim Lee, which had different defects, and worse ones we could say, as they were related to storytelling).

I understand for sure. But nostalgia covers a multitude of defects when it comes to early 90's art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
