I do not believe this is on the up-and-up.

What do you think?

im not sure what your asking, but that's just a print, not original art.

I have the hand coloured version of that item. However, the signature looks fishy!

You really think a guy that's been on E-bay for three and a half years and has 314 positive transactions to 1 neg would throw it all away on some Neal Adams print? If it's not legit I'm willing to bet that the seller has no idea it isn't.

I've seen the Spectre image & the others are all Adams work. I don't think Adams had anything to do with the product as it looks kind'a low budget, like someone did some paste-up work & then colored the image & made some prints out of it. The sig is also off a bit, on the close-up looks like it was pencilled in first & then traced over with a marker.

The print is LEGIT if it is part of the original print run done around 1977. There was an unsigned edition. Not sure if there were legit signed copies or just fake signatures. Can't tell from the pic if it is a more recent color laser copy of a late 70s print.

The guys description gives me the [!@#%^&^]. How can somebody not know who 'Deadman' is. What is the world coming to................................

It looks too consisent for that. It looks much more like a printing plate shift causing the doubled signature.

I believe this was part of a portfolio Phil Sueling either produced or distributed in the late 70s or early 80s. Don't recall a signed edition. Most of the ones I saw had light water damage

What's bogus about it? It's a print.

[aardvark88]

Not part of a portfolio. These were sold via Steranko's Supergraphics Co. Mediascene tabloid 1978. Full color poster 16 x 24 inch size. Original retail (unsigned) $3 plus 50 cents postage. No mention of a handsigned edition although if u bought it from N Adams directly (at a comicon), he would autograph it.

May possibly have a facsimile signature reproduced on the print.

Just what it looks like.

Think the unauthorized b/w 4 plate portfolio was released late 70s. Recall it had an illo of a long necked Vision. No color plate.
