Just scored an absolute grail for only $12 at Most Excellent Gaming in Enfield, CT! 🌙 Added a beautiful raw copy of Moon Knight #1 to the collection. The original 1980 @Marvel run with that incredible cover art by @SienkiewiczArt and the gritty storytelling by Doug Moench is legendary. Finding a vintage premiere issue for that price is an absolute steal!

081 - Brood
A relatively action-oriented image relative to most of Sienkiewicz's other contributions to this set. I like that he chose to highlight their flying ability, which tends to get overlooked (and makes them even creepier).
-
074 - Mojo
I don't know if an extreme closeup on Mojo's face is the best way to capture his character, but at least it's an exceedingly well-done extreme closeup from Sienkiewicz, who may well be this set's stealth MVP.

063 - Sauron
Another Sienkiewicz stunner; really captures how freaky it would be to encounter a pterodactyl man.

044 - Mirage
The mystery of whether the MLF's Moonstar was actually Dani...Moonstar...never seemed that mysterious, but this card seems to exist just to tease it.
But it does give us Sienkiewicz on another former New Mutant!
-
033 - Wolfsbane
Back-to-back Sienkiewicz! Not a character he co-created, but another old New Mutant friend.
-
032 - Strong Guy
Check out those tiny little legs! Really underscores how distorted his upper body strength is.
Always fun to see a character's co-creator do their trading card.
-
030 - Polaris
This card is 1000 times sexier than any image of Polaris in the "sexy" gold costume she adopted around this time.
-
021 - Cable
Fantastic card. Love seeing Sienkiewicz doing one of the "later" New Mutants.
This set briefly tries to make Six Pack happen, so Cable gets two Group Affiliations (Domino was flagged as Six Pack too).

017 - Nightcrawler
Perfect match of subject, approach & artist. Depicting Nightcrawler coming out of a teleport is clever & Sienkiewicz's abstract style creates the impression of a figure materializing from nowhere.
-
007 - Psylocke
Bill Sienkiewicz with his first card of the set. Sadly, it's not the greatest Psylocke card.

"Brought to Light" on the Internet Archive
From Wikipedia:
Brought to Light: Thirty Years of Drug Smuggling, Arms Deals, and Covert Action is an anthology of two political graphic novels, published originally by Eclipse Comics in 1988. Both are based on material from lawsuits filed by the Christic Instituteagainst the US Government. The two stories are Shadowplay: The Secret Team by Alan Moore and Bill Sienkiewicz, andFlashpoint: The LA Penca Bombing documented by Martha Honey and Tony Avirgan and adapted by Joyce Brabner and Tom Yeates. Brought to Light was edited overall by Joyce Brabner, Catherine Yronwode acted as executive editor, and Eclipse publisher Dean Mullaney was the publication designer.Shadowplay: The Secret Team written by Alan Moore and drawn by Bill Sienkiewicz with an introduction by Daniel Sheehan (general counsel of TCI). It covers the history of the Central Intelligence Agency and its controversial involvement in theVietnam War, the Iran-Contra affair, and its relationship with figures like Augusto Pinochet and Manuel Noriega. The narrator ofShadowplay is an aging anthropomorphic American Eagle, a bellicose retired CIA agent.
As Moore's first major work which was not superhero oriented, it was highly praised for its storytelling and Sienkiewicz's sometimes brutal art. Moore received praise especially for blending the sometimes overwhelming mass of details into a coherent and effective story. Over the years there have been rumors that Moore was unable to travel to America due to the CIA being annoyed at his story in Brought to Light. However this was supposedly proved to be a rumor and the "real" reason was due to Moore not renewing his passport.[1]
The story of "Shadowplay" is of an unseen character (presumably representing the oblivious American public in first-person view of the reader) in a bar, where he is approached by a man-sized, walking, talking eagle. The eagle, from the emblem of the CIA, proceeds to drink alcohol and, in a drunken stupor, divulge all the bloody details of The Agency's sordid past. Early on a reference is made to the number of gallons an Olympic swimming pool can hold, and the fact that an adult human body has one gallon of blood; from then on, the victims of CIA activities (directly or indirectly) are quantified in swimming pools filled with blood, each pool representing 20,000 dead. Sienkiewicz's dark, erratic, and blurry images keep the mood of Moore's narration (through the boozing eagle) unnerving, and hazily nightmarish.

040 - Vulture
The largest figure Sienkiewicz has painted for this set yet!
The birds in the background are great - it's like "bird, bird, Man-Bird" coming at the viewer.
-
028 - Sabretooth
Sienkiewicz with another essence-capturing headshot. Love the eyebrow styling here.
-
013 - Ghost Rider
Despite this being a Dan Ketch card per the real name, the first appearance citation and panel excerpt is of the 70s era Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider
-
006 - Wolverine
Wolverine on page 1!
As with Hulk, Sienkiewicz uses little details (blood splatter, mismatched eye sizes) to capture the essence of the character.
-
001 - Hulk
The second series of Marvel Masterpieces kicks off w/Hulk, eschewing the quasi-alphabetical approach of Series 1, as Bill Sienkiewicz offers a great depiction of rage - even though the character at the time was no longer a rage monster.

Terminado Lobo, la miniserie de 1990 dibujada por Simon Bisley.
Empezamos con algo un poco menos común (para mi), una novela gráfica de espías.
Cover esta escrita nada más y nada menos que por Brian Michael Bendis y dibujada por David Mack, con colaboraciones de Bill Sienkiewicz. Ahí es nada.
A ver que tal!!

The Marvel comic-book readers in 1984 sure weren't ready for #BillSienkiewicz New Mutants, beginning with the saga of the Demon Bear. Such experimental, weird art wasn't exactly what one would expect in a title starring a bunch of mutant teenagers. Of course it divided readers at the time, but the artist's boldness brought to life an instant classic of the medium, and a brilliant showcase of its possibilities when there's talent to back them up.

I dreamed I was walking down the street in the rain and saw someone selling large, oversized comics. There were some issues of LITTLE LOTTA that I was excited about, and a comics adaptation of the film CABARET (looked like #BillSienkiewicz art!). I was looking through the rest of the collection, but the comics were wet from the rain, and the covers ripped as I tried to turn the page. I didn't know what to do: I couldn't REALLY afford ANY of the comics, especially these titles I didn't want, but now felt obligated to buy because they ripped. I didn't know what to do. I stood in the rain, stressed out and feeling ashamed.

Still one of the weirdest, most demented, and more brilliant #comics ever, written and drawn by #BillSienkiewicz, it's the comic equivalent to the lovechild of David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick using a Jodorowsky script interpreting a classic crime noir redemption arc involving kitchen appliances, paraphilias and supernatural forces looking for holiday adventures.

Most of my biggest visual #artistic influences are all over the map, but one is a whole cartography lesson by himself, commercial illustrator/comic auteur #BillSienkiewicz. His whole schtick in the 80s helped me understand how to marry all the 'high' art I loved, with 'low' art interests that felt visceral and real (e.g. Basquiat, Warhol, Thorgerson, Peak, etc) and blurred the whole line between them into the ether: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7bmHa3UWas

Say it with me: sin-kev-itch.
A pretty cool read with a #Marvel slant on Saint George battling the dragons of today. Or, well, 1988 when this came out.
Plus the #BillSienkiewicz cover is awesome.
