A fantastic villain origin page from Big John and Joltin' Joe introduces us to Farouk Al-Fasaud, Oil Minister for the fictional Middle Eastern country of Aqiria whose manipulation of global markets (which made him the richest man in the world) was exposed by reporter Gregory Dunabr. In an attempt to get revenge on Dunbar, Farouk attempts to assassinate him with a blade but misses, striking the satellite uplink equipment and...somehow gaining electronic/digital powers. Well, it looks great, especially the horror-inspired second panel, the noirish third, and the action-packed sixth which is filled to the brim with Kirby Krackle! Signed by Sinnott in lower margin. Pencil and ink on Marvel Comics art board. 11" x 16 1/2".
