The CHAMPIONS COVER GALLERY - PART ONE...

Having teased you with the MARVEL MASTERWORKS volume of The CHAMPIONS, let's now have a cover gallery to show you just what you're missing if you haven't yet bought yourself a copy.  The first eight covers to start you off, the remaining nine to follow as soon as I get around to scanning them.  So enjoy part one, and don't dare miss part two.  Any recollections of this titanic title?  The comments section awaits you, effendis.





Oh, lookee here - a JACK KIRBY cover (though Iceman might be by someone else)


BABE Of The DAY - LYNDSAY WAGNER...



OSCAR GOLDMAN sure seems
happy to see that JAMIE SOMMERS
(aka LYNDSAY WAGNER) is so clearly
happy to see him.  (A fact that we're all
 happy about too, eh, Crivvies?)

RECOMMENDED READING: MARVEL MASTERWORKS - The CHAMPIONS VOLUME ONE...

Not exactly a new release, but a fairly recent one which I'm sure you'll like to check out, is the MARVEL MASTERWORKS The CHAMPIONS volume, which is a slightly thicker publication than usual.  Taking the lazy way out (as is my wont), I'll let the info on the front cover speak for itself, as nothing I say will sell this book any better than it can sell itself.  There's one slight glitch however, which is that page 265 has been printed bigger than the others, and therefore the page number and word balloon 'intermingle'.  A minor flaw to be sure, but still just a tad irksome.


The page number and the word 'expert' obscure one another

At least the image hasn't been inadvertently cropped, and hey - it's only one page in the entire book.  So why not get yourselves 'round to your nearest comics shop at the earliest opportunity, and purchase this handsome, heavy, 470-plus page valorous volume?  Altogether now - "We are the Champions..."
