2022 Pop Culture Power Show Mongul Commission by Angel Medina

I've been a fan of Angel Medina since his run on Dreadstar with Peter David in the late '80s, and I first got to have a long chat with him at San Diego ComiCon in 2000 (which led to a misadventure at the 1970s Black Panther panel, but that's another story.) There was a long gap before again making his acquaintence, but he was a regular at a small show out of Stafford, Texas; that died and was reborn as "Pop Culture Con." I've seen him a couple times at those, one just last month, plus Fan Expo Chicago in 2023. Most times, I try to pick up something from him, because I'm still enthused about his art. I've mostly gotten away from Martian Manhunter related commissions, but Medina has a long history of working with Jim Starlin and his cosmic creations, particularly Adam Warlock & Thanos (via The Infinity Watch.) I've devoted a disproprtionate amount of space to Mongul the Merciless on this blog for a rather modest connection to Martian Manhunter, but he's one of my favorite DC villains. I only have one other piece of Mongul art, so I could justify another, especially from such an obviously appropriate creator!
