Marvels Golden Age The Angel full color version

The next of my new group of 11" x 17" cover recreations that I commissioned from artist Greg Woronchak.

In this commission I fulfilled a dream. I have always been a big fan of the original, golden age Marvel/Timely Comics hero, the Angel. 1. He is one of Marvel’s very first superheroes. 2. He appeared in their first comic book, Marvel Comics #1 (1939). And 3. aside from the golden age Marvel big three (Captain America, Human Torch & Sub-Mariner), no other golden age character appeared in more solo stories, 107! [In addition to appearances in multiple titles, he primarily starred in Marvel Mystery Comics (#1-79) and in Sub-Mariner (#1-21)], BUT... he never headlined a book of his own back then (though he recently starred in Ed Brubaker's Marvels Project LS) and I always wanted to see a cover of his own. So, using the cover of #1 of The Saint as the basis for this comission, the Angel finally got his series! Obviosly I had the Saint replaced by the Angel on the cover & in place of the girl I had the Blonde Phantom adding in. Finally, I found a "the Angel" logo from an interior story from the 40's and had it take the place of the original Saint logo. The final image turned out great!
