And check out OUR NEWLY LISTED ITEMS. This is an original printed cover proof for The Mighty Thor #216, published by Marvel Comics in October of 1973. It is a full color proof of the cover art, by the legendary Gil Kane and John Romita Sr. The proof is a single sheet, which measures approximately 8″ by 11 1/2″, and is blank on the reverse side. This is NOT a mass-produced print or lithograph. It is a cover proof that was created during the production process for the comic. This is a truly great piece, as it features one of the outstanding covers done by 2 legendary artists during a peak Bronze Age period, as the God of Thunder takes on the 4-D Man. Great image of Thor in battle wielding his hammer, and declaring his signature catchphrase, I say thee Nay! A truly exceptional piece that would look fantastic framed, and would be an outstanding piece in any 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.
