Tom Palmer Signed Print Captain America Flexing Muscles
Captain America, once a frail young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Here Captain is flexing his muscles as he takes on several villians at once. * Artist: Tom Palmer Medium: Lithograph print on paper Edition: out of 2500 Size of Image: 13" x 18 1/8" Size of Paper: 17 1/4" x 23 1/4" Signature: lower right, in pencil Publication: First Team Press, Inc Gold Publisher stamp at lower center Date: 1987 Condition: Excellent Biography * Although Tom Palmer (1942- ) has done a small amount of pencilling work (as well as some cover art and some coloring work), the vast majority of his artistic output since the 1960s has been as a comic book inker. Especially noteworthy is Palmer's extensive work for Marvel Comics, including well-remembered runs paired with pencillers Neal Adams on Avengers and Uncanny X-Men; Gene Colan, on titles such as Doctor Strange, Daredevil, and Tomb of Dracula; and John Buscema, on the The Avengers. He also inked the entire run of John Byrne's X-Men: The Hidden Years. Palmer's brushy, detailed, and illustrative inking style hearkens back to vintage newspaper comic strip strips like Steve Canyon and Tarzan, and has influenced later generations of inkers like Klaus Janson, Josef Rubinstein, and Bob McLeod. Over the course of his career, Palmer has won several awards, including the 1969 Alley Award for Best Inking Artist. Palmer was also named the #3 Inker of American Comics by Atlas Comics. * Information retrieved from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Palmer_(comics) *
