Yes, here’s yet another of my mini-superhero pinups of a B-list Marvel character: The Red Ghost. Once again, I didn’t know a whole lot about the character before setting out to draw him. I did know the important things, though: 1) created by Jack Kirby 2) super-powered apes. Like 94% of all Marvel characters from the 60s* The Red Ghost and his apes got their powers via exposure to cosmic rays. Those things were all over the place back then, apparently. I think the Ghost himself turned out pretty well. The apes… well, I need to get better at drawing apes.
And the original from Handbook of the Marvel Universe:

The original art for this is for sale here.

Does anyone know whether the Red Ghost and Kitty Pryde ever hung out with the Vision? They should form a band, or a bowling league, or something.

I like the band idea.
