And check out OUR NEWLY LISTED ITEMS. This is an original cover proof for Captain Atom #87, published by Charlton Comics in August of 1967. It is a black and white proof of the cover art, by the legendary Steve Ditko (who is of course best-known for co-creating the Amazing Spiderman with Stan Lee in the early 1960’s). The proof is a single sheet, which measures approximately 7 3/4″ by 12 1/4″, and is blank on the reverse side. Please note that this is NOT a mass-produced print or lithograph. It is a cover proof that was created during the production process for the comic, and used internally by the comic company. The cover features a classic action image of the Captain battling a villain, with the caption Double Danger With The Fiery-Icer! This is a very cool and rare comic collectible that you will hardly ever get a chance to see. Don’t miss out on a truly great piece that would look fantastic framed and prominently displayed, and would be a key piece in the collection of any Ditko fan. Please note that this is an authentic piece from the 1960’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’60’s, not something made for a reprint.
