And they deserved it!

They were framed in the sense that I took the Original Art for the title splash page 1 from issue number 9 and had Mark Bagley sign it at the Megacon last month and then purchased a pristine copy of the actual comic from a dealer at the same show and had them professionally framed.

It came out great! The frame is black leather bound and beautiful. The matting around the art drops down at the center bottom to show Mark Bagleys signature. The comic book itself is bright and sharp and vivid and the original art speaks for itself!! This is the first piece of original comic art that I ever purchased.

I used Photoshop to create the notations below the comic. I painstakingly selected the logo from the comic cover to create the Thunderbolts logo and then added the text for flavor. The photo is not close enough so here is what it says.

THUNDERBOLTS

Issue 9 Page 1

Published 12-97

This is the original art of page 1 of Thunderbolts 9.

It was penciled by Mark Bagley and inked by Vince

Russell. Above is an actual copy of the comic that

this art was featured in. In this issue Thunderbolts

members Songbird and Mach-1 defeat Ogur, featured

in this art, then the Black Widow shows up and offers

them advice in the form of a tale of the first

replacement Avengers.

This piece of hand drawn, original art was signed by

Mark Bagley on 3-15-13.

This was not a cheapy frame job. This thing was professionally done and I couldnt be more pleased with the final results!

Pardon me while I get a mop to clean up ths drool!!!
