Hi Baal,

This is the original cover art for The Comic Reader #143, published in May of 1977. The art is by the legendary John Byrne, and is an homage to the great MAD artist Don Martin (you can see Byrne signed the piece - "John Byrne from an idea by Roger Stern with apologies to Don Martin"). The cover features Powerman (Luke Cage) and Iron Fist, and on the back side Byrne wrote "Tho't you guys might like to 'preview' Marvel's newest Super-Team John".
