Description

Here is the master's revisit of the classic Cobra Queen cover from the Warren years (Vampirella 23). I tried incredible hard to get the first version---and almost did. But when I saw it in person, there was damage on it that just was not acceptable, especially at the level I offered. This was about 8 or so years ago before the market really exploded. Yet my offer was nearly double what it was when it sold at auction years after. I was tempted---but just couldn't get myself to purchase it when it came up for auction. Now, at times, I wish I did...
Yet, this new version more than hits the spot for me in so many ways. It is a different "style" than the original, and must admit, I like this one better! Not a knock on the original---I would still probably buy that at the right price/time. But this one is beyond mere words. And to think that Sanjulian did this in his 80's is just beyond comprehension!

Sanjulian's painting is so amazing that you can feel the slithery movement against her smooth skin by visually following the curvature of her figure from top to bottom.

I agree--I held the original in my hands before it sold and ended in Heritage. It was amazing---so sharp and detailed. But this revisit is multi-layered and, in person, is more breath-taking than even I thought it would be. I honestly think this is Sanjulian's prime painting in his golden years of his painting life--hell---it's even better than many of his earlier paintings, in my opinion--
