Description

John Buscema Silver Surfer #9 Unused Cover Design Preliminary Original Art (Marvel, 1969). The Surfer finds himself in a tight spot with the Flying Dutchman in this loose but exciting cover prelim by the great John Buscema.

The image area measures 5.5" x 9". In very good condition.

John Buscema unseen sketches and designs he's done through the years show so much about the artist and his pursuit of perfection. This is a special one with the vintage, subject matter, and it being a cover. Surfer showed off what he could express through the human form with the face and body language. the perspective from this overview is very impressive.

Much better layout than the published cover! As you probobly already know SS #8 was to be another double issue. Due to sagging sales it was split into 2 issues - the 2nd half becoming ish #9 (see pages for #9 on CAF where "8" is inked over and "9" is put in) John rushed back to the drawing board to creat the additional cover
