Description

Check out this very nice cover, very RARE Jim Steranko penciled and inked cover which was meant to be for The Encyclopedia Of Comics, in the 1970s. This nice cover features Batman in an absolutely STUNNING SCENE as he swings right at the viewer of the artwokr while the ENTIRE city-scape is drawn like a crossword puzzle with well over 4000 squares drawn and half inked in for just an AMAZING effect! Just a great cover! Compare this nice cover art to the DRAWN PRELIM COLORED COVER Steranko drew in the red link above! ALL art on our website (including this one) are able to be purchased with VERY fair time payments, and trades are always considered towards "ANY" art on our website! Just send us an email to mikeburkey@aol.com and we can try to work something out. (According To Jim Steranko, he insists this art was published, but we do believe this is the unpublished cover to The ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COMIC BOOKS from the 1970s)


About RomitaMan Original Art   /  Established: 1990

It fascinates me how from growing up in the 1970s as a kid with little money, I had to work on my paper route to have funds to buy all of the comics I loved as a kid. And growing older I was able to buy more expensive comics as I saved my money while in the U.S. Army at West Point from 1985-1989 and I was able to finally buy my very first pages of comic art in 1989 and it has been an unbelievable roller coaster ride ever since that point trying to find the Amazing Spiderman #1-297 pages and Spiderman strip art from 1-3-1977 to 11-9-1980 I love so dearly and covet!!
