Original Art To A DC Cover From 1976. RAGMAN #1, ORIGINAL COVER ART BY JOE KUBERT! Cl assic depiction in this hand-rendered artwork, THIS IS THE VERY FIRST APPEARANCE OF RAGMAN, this showpiece. Original Pencils, Washtones, White Paint, and Inks! Beautiful Published Cover Art To A Key Comic From DC Comics. GET IT NOW, It Is A Masterpiece. Unfettered by logo and word balloons and price and other cover jargon, making it a superb stand-alone piece to frame and display. TERRIFIC BRONZE-AGE #1 COVER ART! Great detail work, with a top quality rendition of the title character, introducing him to the hobby for the first time, and the tightness of the inks is impressive, making it appear as if the eyes are following you as you walk past. The originals to bronze keys are notoriously tough to get, and once one sells, it can be out of the market for decades. This particular piece has NEVER BEFORE BEEN IN THE MARKET! It was part of Jack Adler’s renowned collection of DC cover art for over three decades, and about eleven years ago it quietly went from his home to mine, and I’ve remained the proud owner ever since. Adler was VP of Production at DC Comics for many years during the silver-bronze heyday, and thankfully retained a amazing assortment of artwork from the DC archives, for posterity. In the photos with this listing you’ll see a picture I took of Mr. Adler’s long-term home in Queens back when I bought-out his trove of treasures, where so many iconic pieces such as this had long rested peacefully, unknown to still exist to both historians and the collecting community alike, as Jack Adler was a recluse. This is without a doubt one of the top items from Mr. Adler’s famous hoard, and it will include a Certificate of Authenticity from the Jack Adler Collection. THIS ARTWORK IS SUPPLE AND CLEAN AND WELL PRESERVED, WITH JUST SOME MINOR SOILING AND AGING MAINLY TO THE OUTER BORDER AREA, PLEASE SEE THE INCLUDED PICTURES. This original piece of comic illustration art would be a great addition to the collection of any fan of the unique original artwork to vintage comics. This is the ORIGINAL COMIC ART, which is larger than a comic book or a magazine. Dimensions are 9.5″ by 14.5″, so you can imagine that the portrait of the all-new mysterious cloaked figure is substantial. A conversation piece of the highest order, you’ll want to have this one framed and displayed prominently. Much too large for our scanner, this jaw-dropper is over a foot tall, so I took some pictures with the digital camera. I took one photograph with the art alongside the published first issue comic for scale, and I WILL INCLUDE THE KEY #1 ISSUE OF RAGMAN ALONG WITH THE ART! NOTE: The comic is NOT a DC File Copy, it’s just a nice high-grade copy of Ragman #1 from my own collection that I’ve long kept with the original art. The digital pictures make the piece appear dull and drab, when in reality it is especially striking in person. Certainly a holy grail item, especially for any fan of Justice League Dark and Arrow and Flash and other hot DC superhero franchises, which continue to resurrect the vaunted heroes of yesteryear, such as this one. This gorgeous showpiece is the original, not mere “stats” or photocopies, — it is especially striking since the inking was done to high standards, so it really emphasizes the high-impact image. This is one-of-a-kind material which would be a great acquisition for any fan of the old comics, graphic novels and magazines! Boasting lots of great details, this would be particularly impressive if it were framed and displayed, but it could also be stored for investment.
