DescriptionThis is a screen capture of the original cover art for Gold Key's Turok Son of Stone issue # 58 (later reused in a subsequent issue where an acetate overlay was used to cover up the aliens) which I was recently able to win in an Ebay bid. I'm currently having it archival framed, and will scan and upload photos once completed.Artwork measures approximately 30 x 39 cm in thick illustration board. This cover was also used in a more recent hardcover compilation of Turok comics by Dark Horse, Been a huge fan of this series for over 30 years. Interesting backstory for this painting: I'm not sure where it's been to before it was listed in Ebay,. The seller was registered in Uruguay. I had it sent to my current address in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A week back I sent it to get archival framed in Singapore. In a few months I am planning to have it shipped to my permanent hometown address in the Philippines. It's amazes me to think of the history of art pieces like these - who they've changed hands on through the years, where they've been, and where they are! Social/Sharing |

Man am I jealous. That is one of my favorite covers. Uruguay to Phillipines, huh? I sure wish we know more about George Wilson. Has to be one of the most underappreciated and unspoken heroes in comic art history!! Right up there with Gollub. Two masters.

Yep this one was a great piece and one of the most interesting stories in the series also. When I saw it offered in Ebay I just had to have it. George Wilson I fully agree, greatly under appreciated.
