It’s good to be handy – Excalibur #2

I was over in D.C. this past weekend and I picked up some comics at a quarter each at a used book store — you can’t argue with bargains.  In the pile were a bunch from the old Chris Claremont/Alan Davis run on the United Kingdom’s super-team, Excalibur.  I found that the back of each of the comics had a pin-up focusing on a character or two — kind of a nice little extra from Davis.  The image above is from the back of issue #2, and centers on Shadowcat and her dragon companion, Lockheed.  Call me an idiot, but it took me a second to figure out what was going on, that she had phased through the computer panel so she could better work on it — at first I thought she just had something laying on her lap.  So I kind of like this one, though I question why she’d have to be in full costume to get some work done in the HQ.  I don’t sweep my floors wearing a suit and tie, but to each their own.
