This one's in the mail, and it has a long story to go with it. I e-mailed Bob Layton over a year ago (August of last year, to be exact), asking if he could do a sketch for me. I wanted a variation of Iron Man #132 (one of my favorite covers of all time - "The Battle Below!").

 

I wanted a sketch of The Thing in place of Iron Man. I wasn't getting background, so it wouldn't be an underwater scene, just The Thing trying to keep under wraps (literally!) with a large chain. Many, many things have delayed the sketch on Bob's end, and I tried to as patient as I could.

 

After a year, he told me he didn't know when he was going to be able to get to it, and offered me a refund. I told him that I wanted the sketch, but after a year, it was getting ridiculous, and to just send me the refund so I could bring this to a close.

 

Well, on Monday, I got an e-mail from Bob saying that he'd done the sketch, and that he was mailing it AND my refund this week. So I'm getting a free sketch from Bob Layton, and all I had to do was wait a year and be patient! :)lol

 

Here's the jpeg that he sent me. It's not what I asked for, but I'm just happy to be getting a free "Thing vs. Hulk" sketch from Bob Layton.
