Description

Peak Mike Kaluta. From a version of project that I didn�t recall at all.

This is one of two endpapers from the illustrated Metropolis (Limited Edition Hardcover). I believe all of Mike�s other beautiful art created for this project appears in both the softcover and hardcover edition, but not the endpapers. So, since I only had the softcover, I had never seen them.

This spectacular art came to market for the first time in years (if not for the first time ever) as a set of the two at SDCC this past summer. I didn�t want to blow my whole budget on both of them, and fortunately, neither did Hans Kosenkranius (Tri-State) so we did a smart thing � we bought the set and split them. If we both hadn�t ended up in the right place at the right time, it�s likely that neither one of us would have ended up with them.

Both are equally gorgeous so it�s a win-win. Oversized art (nearly 2ft x 3ft!), and, like I said, peak Kaluta. (Hans� is in his CAF gallery.)

OMG! What a gorgeous piece. My eyes are rotating in my head trying to take in the luscious detail.

A parade of imagination all across! Very cool with the weight and sharpness of the inks having the industrial aesthetic and tone of the story.
