A Marvel Masterwork Pin-Up - Captain Britain. As far as I am aware this image initially appeared in the first issue of Cap's Marvel UK weekly (cover dated 13 October 1976) but may have been used for promotional purposes beforehand. I think it would have been ideal as the cover for that first issue but, for whatever reason, they didn't use it.

It did make the cover, almost three years later, for Hulk Comic No. 31, dated 3 October 1979.

It also became the splash page for The Saga of Captain Britain! when it began a reprint run in the US in Marvel Tales No. 131, September 1981. Or did it? This image is different with one big giveaway being Cap's right foot.
I also don't know who drew any of this. Herb Trimpe and Fred Kida drew the 1976 Captain Britain strip as shown in the credit box above but the other images were never part of the strip itself. It's drawn in a Jack Kirby style but there were a number of artists associated to the Cap strip, such as Larry Lieber and Ron Wilson, that could have pulled this off.

Iron Man is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Co-created by writer and editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Tales of Suspense #39 in 1962 and received his own title with Iron Man #1 in 1968. Shortly after his creation, Iron Man became a founding member of the superhero team, the Avengers, with Thor, Ant-Man, the Wasp, and the Hulk. Iron Man stories, individually and with the Avengers, have been published consistently since the character's creation.

Despite the many solicitations, I don’t think it will be a busy for Stephen (at least, on the confirmed appearances) because, well, Ults will be confused on Miles Morales, not the Illuminati. And the other one is just a reprint. Stephen will be certainly more featured in Warlock, which is nice to see again since they share a history. And that’s it!

Web of Spider-Man #21 is a fill-in story written and drawn by Larry Lieber, but there's a framing device with Pete and Joy Mercado. The art difference is striking.
Lieber is one standard length of comic writer and artist which isn't helped by Vince Colletta's inks. Yet when we return to our framing device...
Peter Parker is drawn to be shockingly handsome. I have to assume Marc Silvestri, the regular artist, drew this but it's uncredited. If anyone knows the real artist please tell me. If you want to defend Lieber & Colletta you're welcome to try.

Spider-Man Read-Through 007: Doc Ock Strikes Again! (P1)
MASTERPOST
Annual 4 + ASM 53-61 this time!
A very long post, but there's fun storylines!
So the Human Torch is running amok and unsurprisingly (comics writing), Spider-Man fights him for a bit without asking for an explanation (and the Torch doesn't give him one either) until a movie director intervenes - he was filming a movie! Spider-Man goes away, complaining that Johnny's too good of an actor - but I think the director could have hired him as well. The Torch and the Spider would sure bring people to the movies. And it's actually a plot point of the story (see next screenshots).
In the opening scene, the narrator challenges the readers to figure out who pencilled this issue, and I regret to inform that I'm utterly baffled. Peter has the pretty face of John Romita Sr, but the flat ass of... did Peter ever have a flat ass? I ranted about his inconsistent ass (literally) already, but sounds like it downright downgraded here! ...Still handsome as ever, though.
So yeah, Peter is called on a film set and two characters are conspiring in the shadows and I am intrigued! So they're shooting the movie and Peter's spider-sense keeps warning him and I'm even more intrigued!
I feel like the penciller is Steve Ditko (the previous one) trying to imitate John Romita Sr's style, but maybe it's a newcomer that's promoted through this issue. Through my quick Google Search, I learned (or rather, re-learned) that 1973 and 1974 were drawn by Ross Andru and not John Romita Sr, which does make sense considering how it *is* similar to what I remember, yet a bit different too.
The Torch has gone mad and at this point, I'm starting to wonder if he's actually the Chameleon. And it appears there is truly an impostor, as Johnny's resting in his trailer.
AND SUDDENLY...
It makes sense! The actor background!!!!! Aaaaaaah I'm so hyped, didn't expect to see him!!!!! And who's that other guy?
First, thank you for the fanservice, there's never enough men in tight undershirt and underwear. Legs!!!!
But who's this Wizard?
The helpful wikia indicates that prior to his first appearance in Spider-Man comics (this very one), he was in Strange Tales (later Dr Strange) which makes sense, and also in Fantastic Four. This crossover definitely makes sense! Meanwhile Mysterio has already appeared, but it's still very nice to see him again.
YES! Especially in a 40-pages issue. Let the art speak for itself.
Case in point! These comics had a tendency to be *too* talkative, and it's part of the pacing of the usual 20 pages issue, but still.
Overall, I think it's a great issue! Well-paced, entertaining, surprising, fun! There's a few more pages after that.
Notably this spread.
I don't think they exactly knew they were still gonna be read 60 years later, but it's fun to read this in 2023. Harry calls me out, Peter looks swell as always (VERY swell), Fu Manchu and Woody Allen are here (what a time piece!) and Anna and May are acting like their usual lesbian selves. Once again, good for them!
*swoons*
And they mention how much the artists have to deal with perspective! Nice.
AND...!!!!
YES, YESSSS, YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Yes, close your closet, Peter. Wouldn't want Harry to barge right in, would ya? *snickers* Closet jokes are always fun when you're gay.
What a stellar final page. And we learn the penciller was Larry Lieber, who returns one year later for ~the truth about Peter's parents"! I've watched The Amazing Spider-Man movies, folks, I don't think I can be surprised, but stay tuned! Oh, by the way, about Larry Lieber...
Okay, that's what I figured. I thought it could be a family member.
Now then, onto the main course!
We see Octopus again, yay. Peter is notably angrier than he was in Annual 4, which makes sense if you ignore it happened, considering what happened in the previous issues.
Harry's also quite annoyed, unsurprisingly. He loves his roommate, but Peter does have a tendency to be absent... Harry's irritability is similar to earlier issues, where Peter never went out with him and everybody else and seemed quite aloof. Was Spider-Man No More a return to basics?
But Peter is much more interested in bringing Gwen to a science expo, and Warren is overjoyed to see her. Oh boy...
Now kiss.
At the science expo, Octopus intervenes and he still sports the worst haircut ever known to mankind. I wonder if he's stealing the nullifier to sell it to the highest bidder... Could it be Hammerhead? Or the Kingpin?
Stan Lee obviously had something against me, but we're on Tumblr, and modesty shall not prevail! Who could ever think Octopus retconning "If This Be My Destiny" is more important that ogling at Peter?
So yes, Octopus does want to sell the nullifier to another nation.
More importantly, everybody recreates the coffee bar double spread from Annual 4. May and Anna are looking for a third for some nice granny baking time.
PLOT TWIST!!! Look how goofy Octopus is. What a goofball.
This issue was fairly enjoyable, it had more soap than fights, which I'm all for. Dear readers, I am enthralled.
I'm thirsting and also showing the humorous situation. Marivaux would be proud!
Also: more Parksborn domestic love! Yeah Peter, don't let Harry see you mixing fluid... or the content of your closet!
MJ is still incredibly mean to Gwen and this is both outrageously funny but also a bit sad. Aside from this, two gays are jealous of Peter.
And this is iconic. Peter's shocked face, Octopus holding the tea cup like Queen Elizabeth, "I dabble a bit in science myself"...
So Aunt May dies and Peter's understandably angry and I'm HOOKED. Two great issues.
The right panel speaks for itself, Harry is a great comedic character.
The action takes place at Stark Industries, but Tony wasn't paid enough to do a cameo so he lets Spidey will with this mess. And the mess gets worse, as the nullifier makes Peter lose his memories...! My jaw dropped.
This is stupid, but I'm curious to see where this is going.
However, Harry keeps being annoyed at Peter and this is sad because I thought we were over this. But I wonder if it's leading to a big plot point, like Peter's friends giving up on him for a few issues.
But then.
Oh. Oh no. I know where this is going.
This arc highlights once more how full of silent rage Peter really is. He's frustrated. A much more compelling character than Insomniac's Peter.
And it ends with a Peter who's quite affected. I didn't expect Peter's amnesia to stick for this long though! This is very compelling stuff.
Aaaand I've gotta stop here because I can only put 30 pictures in posts. Next time: a relatable guy!

LOL, this all fiction should start with that warning.
Is this going to be about AI? Topical!
We can already predict the weather! And who needs to predict elections and sporting events?
That mouth looks weird, who drew this?
I was going to blame it on Matt Fox, who I think is new, but then I realized that Larry Lieber is a writer, not an artist, so idk where to point.

Text:
A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM STAN LEE
IT HAD TO HAPPEN! Even though Marvel’s heroes are the world’s most popular comic book characters, the time has come for a a new superhero - one who will be BRITAIN’S OWN!
Month after month you have demanded him! Comicdom has needed him! All of Britain has been waiting for him! And now, he’s here at last!
Imagine — specially written and drawn just for you! Never before printed in any other magazine! With indescribable pride we have presented, for the first time anywhere, Britain’s greatest superhero, defender of the weak and oppressed, destroyer of evil and injustice, the mightiest, most mysterious man on earth the one and only — CAPTAIN BRITAIN!
If all this sounds as though we’re wild with excitement about our newest magazine — we are! We spent nearly a full year creating the characters, developing the themes, and producing the greatest possible stories and illustrations!
And then, to top it all of [sic], we decided to point each and every Captain Britain adventure in glorious colour, so you can savour every thrilling panel! Indeed, we are determined to make Captain Britain the greatest comics weekly of all time and with your help and support, we cannot fail!
But, before I turn you loose to thrill again to the excitement of our incredible adventure, I first must thank writer Chris Claremont, artist Herb Trimpe, and editor Larry Lieber, as well as the entire splendid staff of Marvel Comics London — Neil Tennant, Alan Murray, George Mina — for the magnificent feat they have performed on this, the most sensational new weekly we have ever launched! To each and every one of you I say “Well done, lads!”
and now that you have met the newest, most daring superhero of all, never let yourself forget — the best is yet to come!
Excelsior! Stan Lee

Looks like the colorist’s copy. The only art I’ve found looks different.


Regardless the artist is Larry Lieber.

The Absolute Best Morbius Comic Art
So since I did that post on my least favorite artists that have drawn Morb I have to do the opposite and show my absolute favorites. This sadly will only include comic art which means three of my favorite artists will be excluded as they’d only done covers but I doubt you all want to hear me gush over Kyle Hotz, Ryan Brown, and Ivan Shavrin, for hours with like one or two jpegs to show you. Also not included are my mutuals because Oh My LORD is some of the fanart on Tumblr fantastic! Nope, have to stick to official comic art only. Maybe later I’ll do a post of my favorite standalone pieces of comic art but I would feel weird reposting fanart (even with links and credits of course) Also this was SO hard to put into an order. I wracked myself over the numbering. I’m still leaning towards going back and changing it I love these artists so much!
10: Larry Lieber. I absolutely fell in love with the way he’s drawn in the newspaper strips and while the artist for the Sunday strips is also amazing it was Larry Lieber’s art that really got me. It looks vintage but is pretty damn new (2011), has great lines, perfect face, emotion I just *Chef’s kiss*
9: Max Douglas. Remember that I said one of my fave Morb short stories in both art and content was in Morbius #25? It’s this story: Drainage System of which Max Douglas did the art. It’s gritty but clear, the backgrounds are full of details. The art carries the exact mood of the story and I have been rereading it fondly since 1994. The main story of this issue is.... ehhhhhhh but it is worth picking up just for Drainage System.
8: Marcelo Ferreira. Artist for most of the 2019 series and an absolute talent! His work is gritty and makes Morb ugly in the best most apropos way. Love his heavy use of thick block shadows to define form, and he’s a genius when it comes to fabric folds and hair. This is one of two artists on this list I own a piece from (A page of the 2019 series issue 5) and I wish I could have gotten more.
7: Ron Wagner. Needless to say his art absolutely made the 1990′s series (up until he split due to conflict with the writer) and it was one of the big reasons I initially picked up the comic. If Marvel had picked another artist i don’t know if nine-year old me would have put that book in my arms and marched to the register. I do own a piece from him too. A page of the 90′s series, Human Morb getting mugged because that page was one of my favorites. Hoping to see him at a con one day so I can bring it to him.
6: Tom Reilly: Artist of the 2021 issue Bond of Blood. Retro style again, very much inspired by Gil Kane’s original work and I love it. This is a pure winner of a comic with so much drama in it and they found the perfect artist. Morb is all lean lines here which is my preferred frame for him, large red eyes, stark detail. It’s just a visual treat!
5: Tony Moore. Oh Tony Moore of the Punisher Frankencastle arc how I love your art, let me count the ways! 1. Amazing details in every inch, 2. Crazy crammed backgrounds, 3. Perfect facial expressions, 4. Style that harkens back to old school horror, 5. fluid motion, amazing lighting details, 6. The hatching! The shading! I have to stop or I could gush forever.
4: Guiseppe Camuncoli of the ASM No Turning Back arc. This man. This man right here! Everyone he draws. EVERYONE is a visual feast. He cuts back on the shading I normally crave but makes up for it in starkly contrasted linework with full detail. The way he draws Morb’s eyes is so unique but it works! The facial lines, the fabric folds, and the facial expressions are so perfect!
3: Gil Kane. I know, making him #3 when he invented the aesthetics of the character is me being harsh. It’s just that there are two artists I love so very much in style just for my tastes. Still Gil Kane is arguably the basis for all good Morb art and his splash pages are so amazing that I own three wearing copies of that T-shirt with one on it. I wear them to work. I have no shame in my love for Morbius or for Gil Kane.
2: Kev Walker, the artist for Marvel Zombies 4. This was a hard decision but I love his style on Morbius so much. The glowing eyes, the formation of his cheekbones. His claws, teeth, expressions they are just perfect to me. He’s a bit buff in this series but I chalked that up to ARMOR actually feeding him regularly instead of him skipping meals. This entire four part story is great, and it’s worth it on art alone even if zombies aren’t your jam.
1: Without a doubt in my mind ‘Slammin’ Sonny Trinidad. A Filipino artist who worked for Marvel in the 70′s he often inked others work but he penciled my favorite comic of all time and in my opinion he did it better than anyone could have hoped to. This is my favorite Morbius, with Kane’s eye style but soft pencil detail, hatched shading, and so much emotion in every single panel you see him in. This beats out every dead stare sarcastic tone rendition of Morbius I have ever seen. Celso ‘Sonny’ Trinidad passed in 2009 and will forever be missed.
