Description

I bought this on the cheap years ago on ebay assuming it was a fake. It's one of my all-time fave pages and I knew I would never own the original so what the heck. After I got it I was struck by the high-quality. Look how sharp the image is. It's obviously not just scanned from a comic book (B). And why go through all the trouble of producing the separate stat just for the blurb insert (A) just to sell a fake on ebay? Very odd.

The colors do not match at all with what is in the actual comic (B). The auction claimed �Acetate used for the actual making of a comic� which I assumed was BS at the time but, after I saw it in person, I wondered if maybe it was used in a reprint or maybe the omnibus? ???

See attachments additional images above for other scans.
