Description

I've been on the hunt for a large Arthur Adams X-Men piece since I started collecting OA. Came up short on a few other pieces in the past few years. So when this one popped up, I knew it was time to go big or go home. I picked up a print of this the first time I met Arthur in person and always thought how amazing it would be to own the original art. Nice large single 18x24 board!

Quite impressive. The level of detail from Art Adams is insane. But I feel like everyone says that. Ok, I just did. Congrats on this pick-up!

Life is good when you can afford to bid $50,000 on a piece of X-Men art.

I can't complain. But still trying to get to that Superman #1 bidding tier! 😁

Neat piece!  Thankfully he did this new version with better and more permanent inks.

Only Arthur can outdo himself with a recreation of his own work. Nice pick up

I remember when this was originally commissioned by a friend of mine.  The timing was crazy because he only requested a recreation because he couldn't get his hands on the original Classic X-Men #1.  But right after he commissioned this, the original was actually offered to him.  So he got rid of this one (sadly, he got rid of the original #1 as well).  Anyway, glad you decided to go big on the auction.  I was wondering where it would end up.  A great way to end the year and begin the new year.  Congrats and enjoy!

That's quite a story. I would have kept both if I had the opportunity. I remember seeing somebody post a photo of this one in a binder with a sold sticker on it. Only wish I could have grabbed it at that time!

Lovely example of modern Art Adams filtered through his classic 80s X-Men work.  Certainly went for a pretty penny, but congrats on picking it up (and sharing it on CAF)!

It's arguably the best recreation that Art ever drew. That's kind of a big deal!

Absolutely Top Notch. Congrats on such a fine aquisition. Love it all, including a great depiction of Beast. Mind blowing for me that anyone could give this or the original cover up. Nice you were in a position to get something so hefty. Congrats!
