The one that's doing up the two-packs? I love that cover!!!

Is that Hama? I can't really make out the signature, but it looks like his style of hard-angled "sketchy" work based on some of the stuff I've seen around the net.

EDIT: Correction, it is Ashley Wood, I was so distracted by the art itself that I didn't bother to use my head. Kudos to Weasel for the assist and Tile for the score. :cool:

Link to the picture? I know Hama is doing the stories for some of them.

That's one thing I did not like about Marvel, they never gave proper credit to the cover artists. Granted on most you could just tell who drew them... but sometimes it was a mystery.

And another thing, I'm buying those not only for the Doc offer, but I'm buying them for the cover art. :cool:




Yeah, I'm buying a comic I already have 3 reprints of. . .just for the cover art. :rolleyes:

I remember reading that Ashley Wood was one of the artists. I thought there was two, but I could be wrong. Those covers I'm pretty sure were done by Wood though.

You know, that art reminds me of John Berkey.

That is Ashley Wood! Amazing artist absolutely in love with his stuff. He did MSG comic, Automatic Kafka and the new phenomenal Zombies vs. Robots! Here is a link to his site...

PJ,
how do I go about getting myself these prints!?? I really dig this Ashley Wood's work, and thank youuu sO much for sharing the links with images... because I honestly had NO idea of it's existence or anything about this type of stuff!! Especially since my knowledge of GIJOE doesn't go beyond the vintage 80s, so sad! haHa

You mean the comic covers? They're coming out with the 25th ann. 2-packs.

As for actual prints or posters, I sent an email directly through Mr. Wood's site. If I get any info, I'll share it with everyone here.
