is this considered original art?

[RaccoonRaccoon]

Is this still considered original art? I recently received a splash page that looks like a big sticker (i dont think its a sticker) is pasted on the whole page. Just the very edges of the page looks like ink. Is this original art? Was this common? Page is from the mid 70s. Any help is much appreciated!

Is the "sticker" part, which sounds like a Stat...is it original art, or a copy (xerox)?

 

What about the rest of the panels?

 

Is it published?

A lot of art from the 70s was often resized for some printing, there are some Kirby Eternals pages like that. It's a stat in the middle of the page and then a member of the bullpen mounted it to a larger board and then drew in the edges. It's original production art but it's not the original art. I.e. In this case it was the page used to create the Eternals comic buts it's not an original Kirby.

To be honest its somewhat hard to tell. The top of the page where there are words is clearly a stat at it looks like simple copy paper. The main part of the art is much better quality but it feels like a thick sticker. Yes it is published art.

Thanks for the reply. So if this is not the original art page, is the actually

Art still out there somewhere? Would it be inaccurate to say original art if I wanted to sell?

If your piece is like THIS , then yes it would be dishonest to call it anything more than what it is - a huge stat with some original edgework in ink, likely done by Marvel production department staff vs either the original penciler or inker.

 

Re: The piece I linked to, worth maybe $150 as an ancillary novelty, but priced in the ballpark of the actual pencil/ink original (which the Donnelly's have on CAF), an obvious fishin' for suckas expedition
