Original Art from Doomsday Clock #10 (2019) Page 19 Pencils and Inks by Gary Frank from Doomsday Clock (2017 DC) 10A 2019 DC One of the best words to describe Gary Frank's art would be 'timeless', a quality that made him the perfect artist to bring a story like Doomsday Clock to life. A sprawling, existential story that sought to both break and repair DC's continuity at the same time, Frank captured snapshots of DC's history from the Golden Age to the present perfectly. A pivotal moment from the story, this page sees Dr. Manhattan observing the iconic origin of Superman throughout several iterations which works as an inventive meta commentary on DC's multiple reboots with Dr. Manhattan observing in much the same way a reader who has read the multiple depictions would. Frank also makes fantastic use of the 9-panel format, staging Manhattan only at the edges of panels as an unseen voyeur attempting to make sense of the ever shifting reality- probably the most relatable the character has ever been!

With the world under siege by every pantheon of gods, Black Adam and the Suicide Squad have (kind of) teamed up to take the fight to the real threat- Wonder Woman's foe, the evil Circe.

This jam packed page is full of details that don't pop as well in the finished issue, especially the use of screen tone on the cell in panel two, and the beginnings of Ben's mutations in panel five making this piece something really special to behold. Pencil, ink, and screen tone on Marvel Comics art board. 11" x 16", B&W. Note: Panel three has been cut out and pasted back in to conform to the editor's note of placing the caption box at the bottom- an excellent decision as it would have bled into MODOK's sdialogue! |

Original Art from X-Factor #200 (2010) Page 25 Pencils by Bing Cansino from X-Factor (2005 3rd Series) 200A 2010 Marvel Peter David's landmark reinvention of X-Factor into a (somewhat) grounded detective series that made it standout from the rest of the line. For the series' 200th anniversary issue, the team moved from Detroit to New York City and took on a heck of a first case- tracking down a missing Sue Storm at the behest of Franklin and Valeria. This of course leads to a classic comic book trope- a misunderstanding leading to some hero vs. hero action! In this case it's Strong Guy taking on The Thing, a fight that gets particularly nasty on this page after Mets-fan Guido brings up the '04 World Series to Ben! Pencil on Marvel Comics art board. 11" x 17 1/4". |

Unused Clown Painted Cover or Splash from 2000 AD (1993) by Greg Staples 1993 Greg Staples is one of the definitive artists for 2000 AD, helping cement the publication as one of the go-to's for adventurous sequential art and storytelling. Staples' rendition here of The Clown, who writer Igor Goldkin describes as "a sad, stupid character to whom horrible things happen which transforms him into a twisted ludicrously psychopath bent on murderous revenge" is absolutely gorgeous. Staples' use of pen to lay out the piece provides a unique texture which is really only visible in the original art, most apparent in the areas he crosshatched. His painting is stunning, with rich colors and incredible detail that give the piece an unrivaled sense of depth. Per the Fleetway stamp on the back of the page, it appears that this piece was slated for use in Prog 860, although the piece does not appear there. Staples contributed two chapters of the Clown's second story in Progs 877 and 878, as well as the 1994 2000 AD Yearbook and this piece (unfortunately) does not appear in any of them. Ink and paint on art board. 11 3/4" x 14 1/4". |
