One of Marvel's two books for Free Comic Book Day (this Saturday!) is...


MARVEL ADVENTURES: IRON MAN
written by Jeff Parker & Paul Tobin, art by Alvin Lee and Terry Pallot.
That's right! Co-written by THE TWO GREATEST WRITERS IN COMICS HISTORY (my unbiased opinion!) it features Iron Man, the Hulk, and Spider-Man fighting Shellhead's old enemy, the Mandarin!

The cover of the book by David Nakayama is pictured above, but while Paul and Parker were working on the script, I painted this as an X-mas present for Paul:


My fellow Silver Age nerds will note that it should read "Seven Rings Hath The Mandarin" but then, you're too psyched about seeing the old Marvel monster Grottu to mind! Giant ants RULE!

Paul and I will be with many of our pals for the Free Comic Book Day event at Cosmic Monkey in Portland, while Parker will be at Super Villains, Inc. in Nottingham, Maryland!

I've been looking for an idea for a new convention sketchbook. Your image of Grottu has inspired me to get a sketchbook of giant Marvel and DC monsters. Nice work again, Colleen.
