Description
Gene Colan and Mike Esposito (as Mickey Demeo) Marvel Super-Heroes #18 Story Page 22 - Guardians of the Galaxy First Appearance Issue Original Art (Marvel, 1969). The last page of the group's first appearance was the only group shot of the team in the entire issue, and the first and only time in the story that they were referred to as the Guardians of the Galaxy! Through several different iterations, this team would eventually inspire the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie series of the same name. This page features Yondu, with his sonic-controlled arrows. And both Martinex and Charlie-27 appeared in the background scenes of GotG II (as played by Michael Rosenbaum and Ving Rhames respectively). The song lyrics in the last panel of this page are a reference to a hymn connected to the 1960s Civil Rights movement. Note that while the margin is stamped "Astonishing Tales #29" this was done when the original art was later repurposed for a reprint. Ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 10" x 15". Signed by Colan in the lower margin. The board is toned and in Very Good condition.More information about Gene Colan.
