GOTG (Vol 1) #14 unpublished cover:

Here's an unpublished version of the cover to #14. This looks as if it was intended to be published (due to Jim's various notes to the colorist, editor, and production staff in the borders- along with the "and" after his signature).

The published version is pictured in the additional images, the main differences being the taller stance of Ghost Rider and Nikki's body placed a bit lower. I do like the published version better but love the fact that I was able to secure a Guardians piece done during Jim's tenure on the series that remained in pencil form.

The cover is an homage to Uncanny X-Men #135.

Thanks guys. I was glad to pick this one up.

While I'm pretty much semi retired from collecting OA (life priorities and all that) I should have another Valentino GOTG panel page in my hands tomorrow

Just got the third page in a sequence I loved as a kid. Not much artwise, but storywise very important to me:

Here's a page showing that Mephisto has been behind all kinds of naughtiness throughout the entire series:
