Still can’t afford an original art piece lol but did grab this prelim from Rob’s last WhatNot stream. Rob was my favorite artist growing up and New Mutants 87 was probably my favorite cover from the 90’s. Anyway, this prelim is for Cable issue 158 and love seeing it on the art wall! D8F8FF8F-5786-4807-8347-66AC0A397303.thumb.jpeg.d2f1d4be85feddab1261257f392fc12c.jpeg

This is an original art piece!

In fact it's the original original art for this. Just because it's not the final published piece, don't mean it's not original.

It's awesome, enjoy it! I could go crazy on prelims, they're a really cool part of the process!

Thanks a lot! And yes I agree these are really cool pieces…and for me personally I love to see art when it’s still in its pencil stage 👍

Cool Bagley was it commissioned from him recently. As I haven't heard him doing full commissions for awhile. And at cons he only does head shots.

It's signed by Stan Lee, so the latest it could be from is 2018

It seems to be an unpublished cover, at least the title indicates this.

I got this strip yesterday.  Thought I would mention a few items.  The description is posted below.  It mentions it is Matted to 24” x 19”.  What this actually means it the strip art is taped to a mat with non-archival masking tape.  The masking tape is very stiff but extremely adhered to the artwork.  I think any of the items HA is offering that has this mat could be taped to the mat in the same manner.

Anyone know a good restorer to talk to about getting the tape removed?

Several of the regular cast are present, the King, the Duke, Bung the Jester, and Sir Rodney. Created in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 19.5" x 13". The board has been scored and folded between the tiers to allow mailing to the syndicate. Signed by writer/creator Johnny Hart and artist Brant Parker in the first panel. Matted to 24" x 19". In Excellent condition.

Nice piece there I got a piece during that live op myself. I wonder why original owner let it go 

Not sure, it did go for a lot less than the initial price and the seller kept dropping the price when there wasn't initial interest in the buy it now price.
