You Both inspire me to add my Gene/Tom
Contribution( NSFW).
It is from the Tomb of Dracula magazine and showcases not only Gene brilliance
at portraying the supernatural, but also Tom’s ability to clarify and delineate
his pencils, as well as, Marv’s superb scripting to bring the reader face to
face with true Horror:

I will add my humble contribution to this thread by presenting a page from
Marvel Super-Heroes #15 starring the magnificent Medusa.
I cannot be as loquacious as Sean except to say that I remember buying this
off the stands and that the lithe sensuous image of Medusa has been imprinted
in my brain. And it remains one of my favorite Silver Age covers.
I am happy to own a page from the story.

Gene in January, Day Sixteen
Daredevil #90, page 7 by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer
https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1695183
In 2014 I purchased a Colan/Palmer Daredevil #94 page that featured Lil'
Natasha, in a flashback sequence to her youthful first mission prior to
meeting Iron-man in Tales of Suspense #52. In 2015 I discovered that DD #94
is a book that a good friend in the hobby is attempting to reunite in
original art form, so we arranged a trade. Cut to December of 2020, and
another opportunity to add some young Natasha art (from earlier in the same
storyline) arose, this time from DD #90, a book that my buddy is not
attempting to put back together.
What I'm saying is that our life here on earth is but a brief flickering
candle, so put it not under a bushel, but upon a candlestick (by helping
fellow collectors reunite stories), that it may shine to all that are in the
house. This is the greatest good, and the glory of this noble act confers
great reward of recompense in this life, as well as in the Elysian Fields to
come, where favored collectors shall be conveyed by the gods after death.
One day in the pavilion at Karakorum Genghis Kahn asked an officer of the
Mongol guard what, in all the world, could bring the greatest happiness.
"The open steppe, a clear day, and a swift horse under you," responded the
officer after a little thought, "and a falcon on your wrist to start up
hares."
"Nay," responded the Kahn, "to crush your enemies, to see them fall at your
feet -- to take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their
women. That is best."
"Nay," responded the officer, "The greatest good in life is to assist fellow
collectors by selling or trading them pages they seek in their grail-quests
to reunite comic stories in original art form. That is best."
"You have answered well," responded the Khan, "The greatest joy and pleasure
for a man is to help fellow collectors complete stories in original art
form. That is best. The second greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy,
to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those
who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and
daughters. That is second best."
