Original Art from Cable #2 (1993) Page 23 Pencils by Art Thibert, Specific Inker Not Credited

A fantastic example of the effort involved in making comics in the pre-digital age! Cable and Clan Chosen have infiltrated the Canaanite time travel base and are working on sending Kane back to the present, but with the timelines closely aligned it takes a little effort to find the correct one. In order to make the holographic images that Hope is sifting through pop and appear more futuristic, the page was photocopied and the images cut out and placed appropriately on the overlay so that they could be printed in red ink. Additionally the images, which were initially hand-drawn on the page, are meticulously covered up with pieces of art board. You can see in the image of the published page how the 'holograms' feel separated from the rest of the art in a way that gives them more impact on the page. Also included is a copy of the published issue. Pencil and ink on Marvel Comics art board with semi-translucent overlay affixed to board at top with tape. 11" x 17.
