YEAH RIGHT!

Just trying to understand some of your statements.

 

You said that Tom was slated for the cover of #1 and that later that cover was used for the Annual, when it's well documented that it was Aslan. Then you said that Tom's cover was used later for some other Vampirella cover, and this "cover" I couldn't find.

 

You also say that Frank clearly took the pose from Tom and used it for the cover, when clearly Frank was working from home, thus the phone call to Frank. Was Tom staying with Frazetta at his home at the time? Not likely. More likey that Tom saw Frank's designs that were mailed to Warren and came up with that sketch, not the other way around. Other than that, everything else seems correct, it is a sketch by Tom Sutton. (not signed, but it does appear to be his work)

 

To say the fact that Tom didn't do a cover is unimportant is not quite correct, it is important, because it leads one to think some of the other statements made by Jerry are also incorrect.

 

Well I guess we have a chicken/egg argument. There's no way of knowing now which came first the interiors or the cover. All the principals are dead.

Nope, one person is still alive that would know for sure....Jim Warren (thumbs u

Regardless of his asking price, I am glad to see it listed. Probably the only way any of us would ever see that piece.
