    Tell Me About My 4 Foot Marvel Universe Poster from 1992

    in Copper Age Comic Books

    Posted

    Hey Mike. Not an expert on it but here is what I know. I picked up a copy that was released in 1987 with a retail price of $14.95. It was re-released the next year (1988) at $17.95. I didn't realize it was issued again in 1992. It was later reprinted in a smaller size. I've seen copies of the 1988 version sell in the $50 to $75 range on ebay (occasionaly higher). Never seen the 1987 version up for sale. Sells for more if it's in it's original tube.

    Picked up a few pages last week. Here's a nice splash from one of my favorite mini-series ever. I'm a big western fan & loved Marvel's remake of their characters in "Blaze of Glory". Manco's art has so much more detail than can be seen in a digital photo, but until I get them scanned this will have to do. Featuring the revamped Kid Colt, Two-Gun Kid, Rawhide Kid & Outlaw Kid. Once I get the pages scanned I'll throw the others up.

    Very nice! I'm not even familiar with the title, much less the artists.........

     

    The artist is Leonardo Manco. Did a bunch of stuff for Marvel back in the 90s & has been doing Hellblazer for DC for quite awhile since. He really does some nice stuff that doesn't get picked up in the digital photos. A lot of the more subtle shading is done with him inking with his fingers. He uses the finger prints to get some really nice tone effects. I'll be posting in a new thread wwith some other pieces & hopefully this will come out better in the scans.
