August 2, 2003 | Almost Famous: Absorbing Man From WIZARD: THE COMICS MAGAZINE #0 ALMOST FAMOUS: ABSORBING MAN BEST COVER - AVENGERS #184 JLA/Avengers artist George Pérez's cover for Avengers #184 catches the true essence of Absorbing Man: he's tough as all hell to put down! This 1979 cover depicts Creel's towering presence, unaffected by the assailing Avengers. The story has Creel escaping America to earn his freedom - even though he insist on always wearing presion pants and toting a ball and chain. NM Value: $7.  July 27, 2003 | Thor Vs Absorbing Man Commission From Christos Gage THOR vs ABSORBING MAN (July 2003), commissioned by Christos Gage at San Diego Comic-Con (16-20 Jul 2003). Thought you might enjoy this commission piece I got from George Pérez at the San Diego con. It's an homage to two of my favorite Marvel comics -- Avengers #184 (my favorite Perez cover) and Journey Into Mystery #121 by Jack Kirby. Originally I planned to make it a "Jam" piece with other artists adding other Avengers to the scene, but when I saw what George had done, it was too beautiful to mess with.
