BRYAN HITCH Avengers CIVIL WAR Iron Man MS MARVEL Black Widow ORIGINAL COVER ART

[AKA Rick]

Here's a good buying opportunity for those who like Bryan Hitch with less than 2 weeks to go for the live auction (internet bidding only)

 

I purchased this originally from his dealer, Rich @ The Art of Comics back in 2008 for $800

 

It's now sitting at a mere $55 (as of 08/18/15) with no reserve on Heritage Auctions waiting for the winning bidder

 

It was originally drawn for a Marvel Trading Card entitled The Mighty Avengers : Civil War.

 

This features Iron Man, The Black Widow, The Wasp, Ms. Marvel, Wonder Man, The Sentry and Ares.

 

It was unused, and subsequently used and published as the ORIGINAL ARTWORK for the COVER of Bryan Hitch's Sketchbook "The Hitch Factory :Rough And Refined Volume #1"

 

The auction comes with the original published limited edition sketchbook too, it's #100/500 signed by Bryan Hitch.

 

Here's a link to the piece, and it closes on Saturday, August 29th:

Price Update: $110

 

Argh! Looks like, with no reserve, someone's going to get this published cover at a bargain way below the original $800 I'd paid in a few days.

 

This ends this Saturday August 29th in 3 days, and bidding is only via online / internet / web.

 

It's a live timed auction, so no phone bidding.

..."BUMP" Update: It's now at $180 with 2 days to go !!!

 

Still a stellar bargain below the original $800 price tag direct from the artist through his dealer/rep years ago in 2008 at $800, and also comes with the original publication the limited edition sketchbook too!
