Marvel Fanfare portfolios #1: Bill Sienkiewicz

Marvel's writers and editors sure did like to choke the art with huge amounts of text in the 1980s, but good old Al Milgrom knew the value of a really good pin-up and put loads of them up in the back of Marvel Fanfare, with full blasts of gorgeous art from the likes of Mike Mignola, Ken Steacey, Kevin Nowlan and even Dave bloody Sim.

Sundays are a rest day here at the Tearoom of Despair, and for a significant portion of last year I filled that daily gap with some appallingly revealing fan fiction. But I can't in all good conscience do that to you all again, so instead every Sunday for the next few months is going to feature some of that wonderful art, liberated from the aging pages of Marvel Fanfare. I don't own this art or any of the characters in it, but just want to share the love.

And of course we're starting with Bill Sienkiewicz, because if you even can start anything with Bill Sienkiewicz, you should start it with Bill Sienkiewicz.
