Joe Jusko — Stan Strikes!

Trading Card and Litho, October 2013

One year ago today, Stan Lee headed off into the greater cosmos. I like to think he’s bugging the Watchers, endlessly and enthusiastically reviewing his many adventures on Planet Earth with them. Like this:

“Hey fellas, remember that time I saved everyone form the Martian invasion? Remember? Fellas?”

Fortunately for us, in case we forget, Joe Jusko captures the moment perfectly with this premium trading card and litho for Stan’s own Los Angeles comic book convention in 2013. 

Stan Lee and Topps Mars Attacks. It’s perfect reflection of my misspent youth, and well beyond. I knew the moment I saw the painting I had to have it. Hell, Joe probably knew I would need to have it when he took the assignment. (We’ve known each other a long time.)

We miss ya Stan. I hope Jack and Steve are taking you on a wild ride through the multiverse — just like the good old days.
