And then I came across that big bad bear cover, turned the first page, and had my mind blown to pieces.<br />I have since given away most of my collection, but have kept all the great Bill S. runs: new Mutants, Elektra, The Shadow (!!!) and of course the Daredevil book. I go back and read it from time to time - the art seems as fresh and cutting-edge as it did 25 years ago.Yatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01418208858298972629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16823651.post-55082726614166897162011-04-14T08:46:12.200-04:002011-04-14T08:46:12.200-04:00On a related note, Nick Fury VS SHIELD is one of m...On a related note, Nick Fury VS SHIELD is one of my favourite comics ever.

Back in the day, I was a big Sienkiewicz fan based on his New Mutants and Elektra Assassin stuff, and I'd buy any comics I saw with his art on the cover. I see I'm not alone! I finally checked out Stray Toasters just a couple of years ago, and it's amazing, but for me, nothing beats his 80s heyday work.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227035675212125939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16823651.post-68635054276873575442011-04-12T17:35:20.105-04:002011-04-12T17:35:20.105-04:00I love this.

I had the original Marvel Books/Fireside edition of that as a kid, and part of the reason I begged and begged my parents for it was because the cover art was by "the What If guy." That's the only cover that book should ever have.Bill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18013121134005443309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16823651.post-6865906755924135642011-04-12T16:29:25.162-04:002011-04-12T16:29:25.162-04:00In terms of lousy New Mutants story lines, I respe...In terms of lousy New Mutants story lines, I respect your decision to skip over the Team America story line.

I don't give them credit as often as I should, so thanks for reminding me. Head on over there for a veritable smorgas-borg of comics history and trivia, and of course, tens of thousands of beautiful comic book covers.

Sienkiewicz turned comics on its ear for me when I was a kid, and although I lost interest in the New Mutants after a while, his work on Moon Knight captivated me.
