Igor Kordej

I've seen recently some beautiful comics drawings by Igor Kordej. Despite knowing him since he was 16 years old, and working together for many years, I discovered that I don't have any of his original artworks. That is why I immediately acquired these two original pages from his comics "Soldier X" Issue 7 which he created for Marvel Comics.

Here is a picture of the proud owner.
