George Perez: The Maestro And His Toys, from Hulk Future Imperfect

I’m back!  Like a bear emerging out of hibernation, I’m functioning once again—thanks to coffee.  I told you that I hated the holidays—I had to sleep in a coffin after Halloween just to escape the torture!    Time to look at the electronic long box of commissions and scans, just like this fellow megalomaniac…The Maestro!


George Perez shared this wonderful pen and ink piece over on his Facebook fan page.  Perez is notorious for cramming lots of details in the nooks & crannies of his drawings.  He has the best excuse here, showcasing the Future Hulk’s mad trophy room.  Here’s a few that I can name:

1. Thor’s helmet.
2. On the wall underneath: Pictures of Warlock (New Mutants), Beast, Inhumans, Daredevil.
3. Wolverine’s skeleton.
4. Silver Surfer’s surfboard.
5. Wonder Man’s uniform?
6. Superman’s shirt.
7. Doctor Strange’s cloak.
8. Nova’s helmet.
9. Ant-Man’s helmet.
10. Captain America’s mask & shield.
11. Hawkeye’s bow and arrow.
12. Ultron’s robotic head.
13. Spider-Man’s mask.
14. Thor’s hammer.
15. Wrecking crew thunderball?
16. Doctor Octopus’ arms.
17. The Thing’s picture of the left side of the Maestro’s leg.
18. The Vision’s head on the Maestro’s leg.
19. Iron Man’s helmet in his right hand.
20. Cyclops visor on top of the TV.

There is a lot more I didn’t name.  Do you see those bottles on the left, right under the Beast’s picture?  Do those have some meaning or are they just decoration?

An outstanding commission by Perez.  Whoever owns this should be bursting with Marvel pride!  Nuff Said.
