This 30th Anniversary color art piece is in honor of the great Bill Mantlo and Micheal Golden who brought my favorite toys to life. I liked models a lot and the toys(by MEGO) had interchangable parts so naturally I loved them, a few years later Mighty Marvel published these wonderful comics. Marty Abrams is my hero as well in this piece, without whom we wouldn't have Micronauts at all. The Micronaut/Microman line of toys are the originators of the "Tranformers"!!

Naww, one big happy Microversian family of heroes :aww:

I'm 14 and thanks to my dad, I love the Shogun Warriors and Micronauts when he talked about his childhood :)

It would be great to see that published.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised that Golden was involved w/ both Micronauts, and Crystar. Those were 2 of my favorite toy lines growing up, and I still have a few of each!

Cross yer fingers!

He's a great artist and colorist too. He was art director at Marvel for a while.

Nice pen & ink, and coloring! As always, it shows you did your research and know your stuff.
