Sharkey Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Here's the cover to Marvel's Greatest Comics 42, which reprinted FF 55. This is the original cover, but the image is a gigantic stat of the cover of FF55, with some additional art drawn in the margins to fill the cover, and then the comic title and the Torch and Thing mechanicals are paste-ups. I though it was a pretty cool piece. A lot of people thought I was nuts to buying a cover that was mostly stat, but it's as close to owning the cover of FF 55 as I'm ever gonna come. Of course, when it's framed and sitting on the wall, you can't tell it's a stat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMNT Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Very cool pieces Rhino! You know, I'm getting ready to get cover framed and I think since it has so much black that I should go with a black mat. But I'm just not sure if white would make it "pop" more. Decisions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MutantKeys Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 For that piece I would probably go with black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkey Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thanks everyone for the kind words. TMNTerminator, I agree a black matte would look good against that nice colorful cover. What a beaut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) Rhino -- beautiful art that is tastefully framed. I'm getting ready to have a piece or two framed and you've given me something to think about. TMNTguy -- That's special piece! If you want to try something a little more adventurous try a wine-colored matte that matches the bandanas. If you double matte then possible wine and forest green (to match the turtles) or black. Those are what I'd play with to see if something "works". Edited March 3, 2008 by adamstrange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definately like the idea about double matting with green. And I would have never thought about trying to match the bandanas. I'm definately going to take my time and try different things to see what works. And then post the finished product here of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Man Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I might be totally off my rockers on this one, but that one with the vamped up Doc Ock looks like something from USM... so maybe Bagley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
