Sure, its a recreation, but its HUGE!  Image size = 19x28

Original Comic Art:Illustrations, John Buscema Silver Surfer

Anyone who knows Buscema can correct me here, but I was under the impression that John did a few SS 1 recreations -- but every time he moved the position of the Earth. Is that right?

Here's the original: https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/john-buscema-and-joe-sinnott-original-cover-art-for-silver-surfer-1-marvel-1968-heritage-comics-auctions-is-very-prou/a/801-5499.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515

And 3 different recreations:

Whatever planet it is, it looks like Buscema has the planet in the same relative position in those 3 recreations.  But they're rendered differently.  I think @Brian Peck said ( all of ?? )Buscema's recreations feature a -script signature (commonly seen in all those prelims). 

But in an honest-to-goodness published work (e.g. the Art of John Buscema), he'll print his name in block letters with a brush.

I am kind of delighted that HA is identifying this cover as "Captain Princess," because that would be a pretty amazing superhero name.

Although the link is still good (and still contains "captain-princess"), the title has been updated to: Captive Princess.

This is an incredible auction for the kind of stuff I collect. Several of the Peanuts pieces are definitely on my watch list !

I thought you already sold your left nut earlier this year. You may be running low on body parts for your next purchase.

He’s like the Swamp Thing.   His left nut regenerates. :boo:

I have had to go back to dancing on the pole.

My business model is slightly different, I come out naked and they pay me to put my clothes on.  I find I make a lot more money that way.

Punishment bids duly locked and loaded. 

Looking at this auction makes me remember my 1st experience going to a large department store as a young kid and looking in the toy isles.  I just couldn’t focus, so much to look at, so much I want but can only get one thing.  Do I go for the GIJoe, Major Matt Mason, Aurora Model Kit, or the GIJoe helicopter?
