The Mark of Gil Kane: Captain Marvel and Black Bolt, together!

I've always loved Gil Kane's renditions of both Captain Marvel and Black Bolt from the Inhumans.  A few weeks ago I noticed the original cover art for Captain Marvel #53 (1977) which featured both of these characters together!



Original cover art by Gil Kane, inks by Frank Giacoia and/or Esposito.  Pretty much two characters in flight, it must have taken Kane less than half a day to execute this one?



With the color it really pops as Black Bolt's all blue outfit stands out next to Marvell's mostly red tights.  Nuff Said.
