Marvel Comics Presents #1 - Walt Simonson cover + 1st issue
Walt Simonson Marvel Comics Presents v1 #1, 1988 - Beginning as a bi-weekly, this series featured popular Marvel characters in separate stories. Walt Simonson supplies the wrap-around cover for this first issue, showcasing Wolverine (front), Man-Thing and Master of Kung Fu (back cover). Whether in partial or full view, the artwork seems poorly planned and hurriedly drawn. Additional shapes and lines are added to elicit excitement, but serve as distractions instead. This overworked effort is far below Simonson's usually high standards. This issue also includes art by John Buscema and Tom Sutton.- - - - - - - - - -Key 1st issueMarvel Comics Presents v1 = 2 Simonson issues, 2 key issues - - - - - - - - - - Simonson wrap-around cover pencils and inks = * Walt Simonson - - - - - - - - - -Home / Simonson / Marvel Comics Presents / Marvelebay >this comic Simonson >comics >booksWolverine >comics+collectibles >books >movies+tv >toys+games >clothing Marvel Comics Presents >comics+collectibles(This post has affiliate links which help support this blog)
