Potential fake or recreation on Ebay

[micmack]

Been discussing this on comicL -

 

Fantastic Four 48 page 1

 

Too many items on the art not lining up or just different, no stamp on the back etc.

 

I tried to match it up in photoshop but was unable....

The easiest way to tell that it's a fake is that the lettering doesn't match up. If you look at the banner at the top (specifically "The Fabulous"), the spacing between the wording is different on the printed page. Becuase someone added the notations at the top, it appears that someone created this with the intention to deceive. It's not just a simple recreation.

 

FF #48 is one of those stories for which the original art has never surfaced on the open market. Unfortunately, it looks as though it is still it is unaccounted for.

I love how he covers his buttocks by carefully stating he can't vouch for the authenticity. Get the feeling the guy found out he was taken to the cleaners and is trying recoup his loss?

That line just screams "I'm scamming you!!!"

 

I agree that he didn't create the fake, but is trying to recoup his loss. Whoever faked the page put a LOT of effort into it, but this guy can't even put together a halfway decent eBay listing.

This is the page they are talking about in the Comicart-l list?

Seems the seller has recently added to his discription stating that this is a recreation. Apparently, got enough emails from people telling him so.

i'm surprised it got the price it did for what it is.
