THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS Original Art Splash-- eBay!

[Nexus]

Artist/co-creator NICK PITARRA has just listed a splash page from THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS on eBay:

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Manhattan-Projects-13-Pg1-Original-Comic-Art-Nick-Pitarra-IMAGE-COMICS-/190880939133

 

The description pretty much says it all: For a series that has no covers, a full-page splash is as good as it gets. There have been only four full splashes in the series, and this is the only one with the whole team. (Given recent events, this will be the ONLY splash ever with the original team!) If you've been looking for one key example, this would be it.

 

Auction ends this Sunday night at 8PM PST. Good luck!

I got a good question via PM about the blue pencil on the art. This is NOT a blue-line inked copy. Nick roughs out the page in blue pencil and then inks directly on top of that. So it's all here. The blue pencil can be erased. I like the page with it, but it's up to the buyer. Hope that helps!

I used to have a splash like this and we chatted about erasing the blue pencil... yeah, I just wouldn't do it... you're messing with part of the "production process" and god forbid you mess up the page if you don't know what you are doing.....

I got a couple pages from Nick through Nexus, and one had some animals drawn in the blue line. I would never erase it.

Yeah, don't erase the blue line. It's great to see the artist's ideas for the layouts, etc. I love the ones on my Burnham Batman Inc pages.
