The image is originally by War Machine co-creator (with writer Len Kaminski), Kevin Hopgood, and was the chromium cover to Iron Man 288 (Nov. 1992). Check it out here. Frank Also combined elements from the covers of Iron Man 301 (Hopgood) and War Machine 11 (vol. 1, Dave Taylor), as you can see in those respective links. Of course, Frank added his own style and gave me a terrific tat!
I'm hoping to have a background added to Iron Man and another "blast" under my upper arm. Eventually, I have a full sleeve, maybe of more Iron Man armors! Maybe a Bob Layton one!!
