DESCRIPTION
Pg. 33; Michael Golden pencils, Armando Gil inks; 10.75" x 16"Famed illustrator Michael Golden first gained recognition in the late 1970s for his impressive work on the action figure tie-in title Micronauts, which showcased his flair for gripping action scenes and a strong sense of composition. Golden bounced around for a bit at Marvel before teaming up with writer extraordinaire Chris Claremont, to co-create the popular X-Men character, Rogue. It was in the pages of Avengers Annual 10 that the duo debuted the beloved mutant, and we here at ComicConnect are happy to be able to offer original pieces from this notable issue to our clientele in our latest Event Auction.
Every collector knows that first issues, origin stories, and first appearances are typically the most fervently sought-after collectibles in the business. The value of a given page or piece of art is also driven up by the appearance of popular characters, as well as the signature style of a respected artist, such as Michael Golden. Given that this page boasts several of these desirable qualities, we expect interest and bidding for this piece to be quite enthusiastic.
The storyline of Avengers Annual 10 concerns a jailbreak intended to free several members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, which is eventually thwarted by the Avengers (with a little help from the X-Men). This page places us right in the center of the action as Rogue does battle with Spider-Woman and Iron Man in the courtyard of Ryker's Island. This is an action-packed Bronze Age page, one that has earned it's place in comic-book history.
