Original Marvel comic book pre-production cover artwork. Fury and his Howling Commandos #77. Originally published on April 10th, 1970: Artists Dick Ayers, John Severin, and Jean Izzo. Edited by Stan Lee. Unique art that brings together what the final cover of this comic would look like prior to production. What makes this a unique piece is all the notes and scribbles that are written on it. Half way down the spine, you will see John Severin’s name in little letters, omitted from the final production version. Also on the cover, you will see multiple letters like “RT”, “YT”, etc. Representing the colors to be used in that specific area. You will also see taped areas of the title and the subtitle. On the back of the cardboard mount is the phrase to be used on the cover and final color suggestions for the artists. Officially autographed by Stan Lee with certificate of authenticity from JSA (James Spence). A true timeless collector’s piece. Received as a gift from a friend who worked with Stan Lee.
