The image of the painting shows the origin of The Fantastic Four in all out vivid action scene, showcasing their super powers, including The Invisible Girl phasing; Mr. Fantastic stretching; The Human Torch flamed on, soaring through the sky; and The Thing ready for "Clobberin' Time" united as a team.

Amazing piece, I love Jusko.

Great looking art! Good luck!

 

JadeGiant... THANK YOU !!! The main reason I'm selling it is because (contrary to what actually may make this piece more desirable to them) is the 17" x 25" monolithic size. I tend to like standard 11" x 17" sized art. I'm the same way with DPS, and have stayed away from pieces that span that 17" x 22" dimension. I'm hoping this piece finds a very happy home for the new owner to proudly display. The colors are very vibrant and it's painted on a nice thick board, so is easy to frame.

Amazing piece, I love Jusko.

 

Thanks Eddy... Good Luck Bidding !!!
