And check out OUR NEWLY LISTED ITEMS. This is an original color cover proof for the Savage Sub-Mariner #70, published by Marvel Comics in May 1974, and featuring cover art by the legendary Gil Kane. This is a full-color uncut proof of the cover, including both the front and back covers, and with printing on both sides of the covers, the same way it looks in the published comic. The proof measures approximately 10 3/4″ by 14 3/8″ when unfolded, and is slightly larger than the actual size comic. This is NOT a mass-produced print or lithograph. It is a cover proof that was created during the production process for the comic. You can see it was never cut, as the bottom edge is serrated (like a knife’s edge). The artwork is by one of the most legendary comic artists of all-time, the brilliant Gil Kane. Kane is one of the greatest artists ever to work at Marvel or DC Comics (and the comics industry as a whole, for that matter), having drawn more characters and titles than can all be listed, including Spider-Man, Superman, Batman, the Avengers, Green Lantern, Iron Man, the Flash, the Atom, Warlock, Captain Marvel, Thor, Conan The Barbarian, Captain America, Daredevil, Thunder Agents, X-Men, Teen Titans, Ka-Zar, and so many, many more. The cover features a thrilling action image with Marvel’s Lord of Atlantis, showing Namor unchained… Against the menace of the Man-Fish! A great piece which would look fantastic framed and prominently displayed. Please note that this is an authentic piece from the 1970’s, not something made for a later reprint or collection book. We have been told there are reprint production art pieces being listed by other sellers that make them seem to be old and from original printings, even though they are not for example, older production art did not have the words on a separate sheet from the images. Those kinds of things were only done much more recently, using computer technology. We advise buyers to be careful, as there are disreputable sellers tricking many people into believing they are purchasing items that are older and more valuable than what they actually are. Some sellers simply do not state their items are from reprints, while others make very long listings and put a tiny mention about reprints buried deep in the listing, and/or use a hard-to-read font color (like yellow) to prevent buyers from seeing this information. Unfortunately, everything else in the listing the title, pictures of the cover of the comic from the 1st printing, etc. This item is a genuine proof from the’70’s, not something made for a reprint.
