And check out OUR NEWLY LISTED ITEMS. This is an original cover proof for Marvel’s Greatest Comics #50, published by Marvel Comics in 1974. This is a full-color uncut and unstapled 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 13 3/4″ by 10 3/4″ 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 is created during the production process for the comic. The cover image features an FF classic taken from Fantastic Four #67, which was the storyline introducing “Him” later known by the more familiar name, Adam Warlock! , with artwork by one of the greatest legends in the history of comics, Jack “King” Kirby, who is best-known for his work at Marvel Comics in the 1960’s, where together with Stan Lee he co-created the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, the Mighty Thor, the Incredible Hulk, the Silver Surfer, and many more classic characters and teams. He is also of course the original co-creator (along with Joe Simon) of Captain America back in the 1940’s at the start of the Golden Age of comics. Please note that the dot pattern you may see in the picture is on the scan only, because of the scanner, and is not on the actual piece. So the actual item looks much nicer when you see it in person than the picture here shows. This is a very cool and rare comic collectible that you will hardly ever get a chance to see. 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.
