And check out OUR NEWLY LISTED ITEMS. This is an original printed production art cover for The Weird #4, published by DC Comics in July of 1988. This is a full-color production art 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 cover measures approximately 10 3/4″ by 14″ when unfolded, and is on a high-quality glossy-type paper. It is slightly larger than the actual size comic. This is NOT a mass-produced print or lithograph. It is a production art cover that is created during the production process for the comic, and used internally by the comic company, in this case D. This issue was Part 4 of the 4-issue mini-series. This issue was written by the legendary Jim Starlin (best-known for his Thanos, Warlock, and Silver Surfer stories, including the Infinity Gauntlet), with art by the legendary Bernie Wrightson. The cover was done by Wrightson (best-known for his classic Swamp Thing work, a character which he co-created), and illustrates Berni’s mastery. Please note that this is an authentic piece from the 1980’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 piece from the’80’s, not something made for a reprint.
