NOT Mazzucchelli Year One art

[MachoGrande]

I apologize for what essentially is an off-topic post, but has anyone here every ran across anything like this? I found it years ago at comic shop in Pittsburgh among a pile of 80's promotional posters. It is NOT original art. It is 11x17, 2 ply strathmore, printed very well, and as you can see from the registration marks and page number, seems to have been reproduced from the original art. The back is blank. There are no other markings--no copyright info or anything. Was this part of a portfolio? I'm under no delusions that it's worth anything, but if more exist I wouldn't mind owning the others just to be able to see the original Year One art produced with such detail at full size. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a website that sells a bunch of Mazzucchelli art....he's got a contact email address at the bottom.

If nobody here knows where that page is from, maybe that guy does. He seems to have a bunch of his art, so maybe he's familiar with it.

Seeing as it says page 68 I'm guessing it's a stat page that was used to make the trade paperback of Batman Year One

LB, most stats I've run across are on photo paper and not strathmore, but I bet you're right.

Not sure if this helps either way but I seem to remember that a few years ago a bunch of production type art from Year One surfaced on Ebay - copies of pages in blue ink etc. I believe the sellers were the Donnelly's.

Mazzucchelli still has all of the Year One art.

wow good for him he will make a killing when he sells it

Since the print is not autographed, it may just have been someone from DC's production team that made a high quality "copy" for their own files.

 

btw - Mazz may have kept the interior pages from Batman Year One but he did sell a few of the covers.

 

Cheers!

I was just reading the Year One today, and I verified that it is page number 68 in it.

 

Having never read it before, I am loving it so far! I would take this book over TDKR any day (I know, sacrilege)

[malvin]

Year One is up there with TDKR, and some would consider it above, that statement is definitely not sacrilege!

I'd say Year One tops DKR. I'd rather have some OA from DKR though.

I like DKR, but I LOVE Year One. And while I can appreciate the art and recognize the significance of DKR, I prefer Mazz's art in Year One and would love to add a piece to my collection should pages ever hit the market individually.
