From a Golden Age: The Invaders Appreciation 2023

I'm probably one of the few who liked the Robbins/Springer work because I thought it was evocative of the WWII era. Gil Kane's Marvel covers of the 1970s are iconic. In fact, I'd go as far as stating that his cover work eclipsed his interior art.

^^^Gil Kane def. had a GIFT for cover work, no doubt.

Why the lack of love for the Patriot on the sidebar? Other than that nitpicking, great art.

Peace

^^^I noticed that too.
I’m a pretty big fan of the character.
I thought Jason O’Mara was great live action casting even if his story arc left a lot to be desired.

Oh, he gets a mention later on in that issue.

The Patriot mini-series written by Karl Kesel from a decade ago was amazing!

While I know the art of the stories to be different from these 2 scenes, this artist did indeed sum up perfectly the fights!

Warrior Woman would often grab Miss A out of the air and with her (seemingly) superior strength hurl her away.

Spitfire's pose is so good too!

Yes. I like this book. Great art.

Agreed.

^^^Yeah she looks great there, damn!

Oh, and I never knew Patriot had a different costume starting out…



…it was…not great.

He went through some variations over the years back in the Golden Age, though that might all have depended on the artist for the story.

^^^Thanks but I was just replying to what Nomads1 had mentioned!


^^^I like that they used different artists for each team, it gives Bucky and Toro slightly different looks.

Okay, so the Torch is going to “turn gangster”, but he’s heading out in costume.

Toro’s chilling, reading a Marvel Comic(!) but HE’S in costume (or less).

And there’s a framed picture of Namor on the wall.

Lots to process in this one panel.
