142 - Wolverine vs. Spider-Man
Commemorating that one-shot that effed up the Hobgoblin story!
I appreciate that this is set in a graveyard; Lawlis did his homework.

141 - Wolverine vs. the Thing
As someone who wasn't reading FF much at the time, trading cards of this era did a GREAT job of making me think the story where Wolverine slashed Thing's face was a HUGE DEAL.

140 - Wolverine vs. Hulk
One of my favorite of the "Wolverine Vs." cards - both for the visual heft of the figures and for featuring Wolverine's whisker mask!

138 - Wolverine vs. Cyber
Cracking these packs as a kid, I didn't realize just how many Marvel greats worked on this set. We've had John Romita Sr., Bill Sienkiewicz, and now Mike Zeck.

128 - Warlock
What a great card. To have Sienkiewicz working on this set and NOT have him do the Warlock card would have been a crime.
-
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.

079 - Red Skull
Don't love this - too much of a Homer Simpson head - but I do like the kind of noir-ish 40s vibe.

-
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.
-
026 - Punisher
I know Punisher started off distinctly non-lethal, but I still love that the reprinted panel on the cardback is him kicking the crap out of Spider-Man vs shooting something.
-
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.

Card #121: P. Craig Russell
I never would have guessed Bib Fortuna would be such a popular subject, but I'm pretty sure he ends up with more cards than, say, Yoda.

Card #094: Keith Giffen
I like to think Bib Fortuna is tinkering with some kind of Space Blender.

Card #037: Bib Fortuna
Def wish we'd gotten some lekku waving in Jedi.
