From 2010 in my undergrad morning painting class at PAFA with Scott Noel. Scott with his favorite Contre-Jour setup. Man it was a fight to set your canvas and palette and match the values. Your eyes fight you. Speed painting!! But I miss those days the most in art school. I learned so much.

One of my favorite covers for the series. And Marie Severin’s colors really are so choice here. Old school colors still rule. I loved coming up with cover ideas for this book

How about a 3-part crossover? Marvel was not as fond of these in the Bronze Age, as they were the 2-parters, but it happened. • Jack Kirby & Joe Sinnott covered Fantastic Four Annual 11 (1976). • Kirby & Sinnott covered MTiO Annual 1 (1976). • Kirby, Giacoia, & Romita covered MTiO 20 (1976).

I was actually thinking of the Actor James Gregory who I think they based Norman Osborn on. I can’t prove it but he was popular He had that hair and I can totally hear him as the goblin

Klarion, the Witch Boy, and his familiar companion Teekl have returned to Earth after the banishment spell that Etrigan cast upon them -- and he wants revenge! His plan is to replace Jason Blood with a deranged, wandering spirit cloaked in Jason’s human form in order to gain control of the Demon.
