Joe Jusko art; card #69 War Machine; 1993; image size 6.5" x 9"Beautiful rendition of James Rhodes aka War Machine, from Jusko's now classic 1993 Marvel Masterpieces card set, originally created as one of the 20 new pieces that were included in the four issue comic collection of the 1992 set (5 per issue), Marvel wanted some added incentive in the books so that people didn’t feel they were just buying the same stuff all over again, 15 of the new images were used in the 1993 set and the other 5 in the 1992 tin set collection as “lost cards”. Exquisitely painted, Jusko heroically depicts War Machine in blasting off into action. Jusko's Marvel Masterpieces set the standard for trading card art, and have become highly sought after by collectors, so much so that Jusko recreated the entire 1992 series. Acrylic on board. Art is in excellent condition. Signed by Jusko.
