Anyone know what this is?

I'm not into the art game, but I came across this stashed away in my stuff. Looks like Spidey production art signed by Mick Zeck. It is mounted on this thick board stock.

 

Anyway, not my cup of tea. Should I bother trying to sell it or put it away never to be seen again?

 

 

Edit: I see it's a page from ASM 294, the Kraven's last hunt storyline.

Looks like the color seperations for the page.

Generally not worth much - but throw it up on eBay and see what happens.

I wouldn't expect much $$$ for it though.

[mister_not_so_nice]

concur.

 

Color guides don't get the $$$ of the OA, but to the guy that can't afford an ASM page(with spidey in black costume and Kraven to boot) this would make a nice little addition.

 

Defintely worth the listing fees

 

Good luck

Hmm, not sure it's the color separations. There is a single acetate sheet with the *blacks* on it. The colors, all of them, are actually laid down on the board behind the acetate. Maybe this will shed some light:

I would bid on it for sure (rather just buy it )

PM being sent!

Hard to tell from the scan, but I'm guessing that it is original color art done with airbrush and goache that was used in printing the comic. You should be able to verify that the image is not something printed but something painted. If so, it's better than a color guide, but not near as good as if it was painted over pencils and inks.

Yes, that's it. The colors look airbrushed on the board. It's pretty amazing work if it was done by hand. I assume it was done with a projection of the inks from the acetate on the page. I would have thought they woud do this in a larger format to make it easier. It appears to be exactly the same size as a comic page.

 

Thanks, Adam. Now I at least know what it is.

Glad I could help. I have a couple pages from the Weird World saga by Buscema that are trully painted pages. Buscema pencilled, Rudy Nebres inked, and then a New Zealander whose name I forgot airbrushed. It's a beautiful combination in the original that they couldn't reproduce properly when they printed it.

There was a Valiant artist who did truly painted pages...um....Colon, Ernie Colon. I used to own a number of pages from the Magnus books that he did. They were absolutley stunning. Wish I had kept some!
