My first major piece of art obtained from a wonderful fellow comic art fan, Dino. This historic piece means a lot to me for so many reasons: my love of comics, my love of X-MEN, my love of NEW MUTANTS, my love of Bill Sienkiewicz amazing art and Clairmont’s writing, DEMON BEAR SAGA (need I say more) and the opportunity to work on the upcoming film. So many amazing things coming together for a comic loving weird kid that got to relive a piece of his childhood and now own a little piece of the history.

I am very grateful of the previous owner to allow me to collect this piece, thank you again Dino.

It’s such a spectacular piece, it embodies so many things I love in comics. The art is from a period of Bill’s life where he was really coming into his own style and you see it in this piece. I was fortunate enough to be on set with him as well and got to hear about his take on this creation. It’s the DEMON BEAR SAGA, what a great story and psychotic twisted mind adventure it became. It also is a piece of art that does some great exposition and power reveals: Cannonball’s invulnerability when flying, Magik’s soul sword not actually physically harming Magma (only removing demons/supernatural effects), and the first time you see Magik’s Eldritch armor form on her left side of body (protecting her from the crash to the ground; you see a small patch appear on her arm briefly and back in issue #19), and the best part is realizing the devious nature of the DEMON BEAR (that he is using them to tear each other apart); just love his huge smile that we see in lower right.

It’s an amazing piece to finally bring home to stay.
