A large, bloated sumo-wrestler Jerry, done in the heyday of one of the best artists ever in the history of comics. A couple condition issues,
but still a great Neal Adams piece from his prime period at DC, for a fraction of what you'd pay for any of his superhero art.

QUICK! What are Marvel's greatest epic sagas of the silver age and early bronze age? If you grew up on
these Marvels, then you probably mentioned either the first Silver Surfer/Galactus saga, or the Kree/Skrull war.
This storyline was one of the finest Marvel ever created. How did the Kree/Skrull war begin? Here it is, true believer!
A Kree sentry shows up to put Captain Marvel on trial. How'd you like to own a page from the opening shot of the
Kree/Skrull war?

A piece of Marvel history. This is a stat of the original layout for
Amazing Spider-man #96, the issue that marked the
beginning of the classic drug story that the Comics Code Authority refused to approve.
This stat gives some interesting insight into the planning process behind the cover
layout and text blurbs. One notation in the margin indicates that one of the cops on
the cover must be black, indicating Marvel's desire to present racial equality.

Maybe it's even Stan Lee original art? This is an original sketch of a suggested cover to Conan #6,
on the back of Stan Lee's flimsy paper stationery. This doesn't
appear to be by Smith, so I'm guessing it was probably by another Marvel staffer. Or maybe Stan "The Man" even drew it!
Altough the art indicates it's for Conan #6, I'm guessing that this is the first proposal for Smith's artwork
to Conan #9. Conan appears to be dangling and stabbing at something. Take a look at the published covers to Conan #6 and #9 and see what
you think.

Okay, so technically this is not really original art. It is the
stat used for Conan #22, which is a reprint of #1. But it is a great
looking, one-of-a-kind production piece. The original for this page would sell for many thousands
of dollars, which is thousands more
than I could afford.
One Conan #1 page was just sold by Ted Van Liew at Superworld Comics for over $8,000. Another Conan #1 page
just sold for over $9,000.
I am amazed that there are limited edition "prints" that sell for far hundreds of dollars, yet
many collectors frequently overlook top-quality one-of-a-kind reproductions like this one,
