With a hint of McMahon in the Eagle...

...and the gun.

But real good news Mark, about locating another Mr Macabre page. Fingers crossed you can make the deal.

A few pages on eBay may fit the bill...

Those are not the word's best massimo pages, it has to be said

Yeah. I guess I could have figured Mark would have looked on eBay! The challenge is going to be that most ancient of coefficients: cost vs quality. Oh, and availability too!

.... something Special ...... but sadly almost gone ....

and just for interest , i do sell some of these pages .... not all , its always worth a punt .

That's glorious, Dale - don't know how you could bear to part with that one. Really nice to see it in B&W... Going to a good home, though (not mine, unfortunately).

It's a stunner, isn't it!

Skullmo · 02 August, 2013, 12:32:29 AM

It made me weep with joy to see that!

Tears I meen obviously!

It speaks to the glory that is Dale's art collection that this piece is almost gone while he collects other 'Holy Grails'

I mean christ in what other collection is a Nemesis Cover by Kev O'Neill and one quite as wonderful as that, not the pinnacle!

I see a few few people were posting their Cliff Robinson pieces - this is the only one I have. When Cliff sent this over he also sent all the prelims, a fantastic full colour print and coipes of the art on a disk.

The last Kevin O'Neill Nemesis cover, at that (although there is a later Torquemada, isn't there?). A fabulous sight to see, I really don't think I could bear to part with that.

This arrived today from the awesome Leigh Gallagher. The page from Defoe that features me.

On that Nemesis O'Neill piece, there are not many times in my life when I have felt it would be justifiable to kiss a man but having this was one of them. Thanks Dale ( no tongues)!

Link Prime · 02 August, 2013, 02:58:33 PM

You're one lucky SOB Malak.
Just don't ask Dale how much he originally paid for it!

malak brood · 02 August, 2013, 03:02:37 PM

Oh I know how the Dale time machine works

He also has a Star Trek style replicator. That's the tenth time he's sold that cover,

But seriously, that's a right knockout piece, and im glad its heading to your collection, David.

@ dark-spartan - That's a beautiful Cliff Robinson piece - (is there any other?), so congrats. Love to see his (copious) prelim bits and bobs, that he includes. Gonna have to try for summat from him, at some point.

@ Albion - Now thats a page thats hot of the press! So, is that you then? A story behind that?
