EXPLANATION BY RAY SNYDER:

In the early issues of Starman, Tony would fully render the pages 8"x10" on typing/copier paper. These were enlarged to 11"x17" and traced, on a lightbox, to DC board. These are the original drawings for the pages. The boarder and corner brackets were copied onto blank typing paper for uniformity. The issue/page notations are incorrect because of the decision the begin the series with issue #0 (Tony, understandably, marked the first issue as #1). In 1996, Tony decided to sell his pencils at conventions, and signed them, hence the '96 date. The Shade piece has a preliminary sketch of the Shade on the reverse, which was then lightboxed onto the obverse, making a 'mirror-image'. These have been in my collection since '96.

 

PM me if you want to purchase them.

Out of curiosity, why does Ray have so much early Harris work? He wasn't the inker on the book back then.

 

Great stuff, by the way. I'm partial to Tony's work on the early Starman books over his Ex Machina work.
