Limited Edition Portfolio. Volumes two and three were combined in the final illustrated envelope by Burne Hogarth, and include seven plates that are also signed and numbered to 1,500, as well as eight more bonus plates that were thrown into the mix as a "thank you" to the people that had purchased these in advance and had to wait for some of the artists to make good on their commitments to this project. The envelope containing Volumes two and three contains: "Death of an Ace" (color print) by George Evans, "Through Whom my Power Flows" by Michael Kaluta, "Teddy Bear" by Bernie Wrightson, "My Good Buddies" by Jack Davis, "Tarzan" by Neal Adams, "Star Hawks" by Gil Kane, "Pogo" by Selby Kelly, "Merlin" by Hal Foster...all signed by the artists. Bonus plates include: "Merlin" (color print) by Hal Foster (shot from a hand-colored original...beautiful!), "The Gauntlet" (color rough for the movie poster featuring Clint Eastwood) by Frank Frazetta, "Swamp Rescue" (The Spirit) by Will Eisner, "Prince Machiavelli" by Burne Hogarth, "Sex Objects" by Harvey Kurtzman, "Dweller in the Dungeon" by Wally Wood, and "Space Soldiers" by Al Williamson. Each plate is printed on archival fine art paper, and measures 12" x 16".
