And check out OUR NEWLY LISTED ITEMS. This is an original printed cover proof for Spawn #5, published by Image Comics in 1992. The sheet measures approximately 11 3/8″ by 13 3/4″ when unfolded. The piece has been folded down the middle, but is not cut or stapled. Please note that this is NOT a mass-produced print or lithograph. It is a proof that is created during the production process for the comic. You can see printer color code bars along the top edge, and they run at the top edge on the back side as well. This is a classic early issue, with the first appearance of Billy Kincaid. The cover features an awesome image of the Hellspawn perched on a rooftop, by legendary comic book artist Todd McFarlane, who first became well-known drawing Incredible Hulk, Amazing Spider-man, and Spiderman, before leaving Marvel Comics to co-found Image Comics. The back cover features an ad for Sin City, which I think shows Marv in Frank Miller’s brilliant noir style. Great production piece, which would look great framed and prominently displayed. Please note that this is an authentic piece from the first printing, 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 first print, not something made for a reprint.
