The Best Cover You've Never Seen--Iron Man #307 (1994)
Artist Tom Morgan's work isn't remembered by many these days...
...but he was straight up tripping balls in his brief Iron Man run.

Whoa.
Of course, whereas Neo and company got cool sunglasses and leather and trench coats...
...Tony Stark's self-image was a lot doofier!

Yes, of course Vor/Tex stood for something:
Trippin'. Balls.

ReplyDeleteLike an emergent AI should be bound by your human grammar rules, man...
ReplyDeleteHa!I guess for myself, Tom Morgan proably should get more love for the work he did on IM at the time, plus his other work on other titles. He wasn't the best, but he was better than most of the IMage clones Marvel was hiring/looking for back then.
ReplyDeleteVery trippy panel and issue though. I don't have this one, but I had a fair amount of his IM run as artist, and #300 is still one of my favorites he did. Drawing Ultimo at th size that he did, plus the other older armors? Yeah, I was a big fan of that.
