Description

In 1984, independent comic book publisher Pacific Comics released Vanity. A short-lived offering created by Will Meugniot, lasting only two issues, her future was cut short due to the now defunct publishers financial woes.

Offered for your viewing pleasure, here is the original cover art for the very first issue of Vanity. This piece features an awesome full-figure image of the title character in costume with a nice montage depicting scenes from her origin in the background.

Despite securing the talents of comic book greats Neal Adams, Jack Kirby, Mike Grell, Berni Wrightson, Richard Corben, and others... Pacific Comics contribution to comicdom resulted in just 33 titles (including Captain Victory, Ms. Mystic, Starslayer, Vanity, and others) and approximately 103 total books making art from this publisher very scarce.

As a side note, according to the Grand Comics Database (www.comics.org), Mr. Meugniot produced just 41 covers during his career in comics for publishers Eclipse, Antarctic Press, AC, Atlantic Forlag, Fantagraphics, Bladkompaniet AS, and Pacific Comics.

As for Vanity, to date, there have been just 2 covers and 40 pages of Vanity art published (18 pages and a cover for each issue of Vanity, and a four page preview appearing in Pacific Presents #3). Though unpublished, the original cover art intended for Vanity #3 does exist.

Quite possibly the most recognized work by Will Meugniot, this is without question the most desirable piece of Vanity art available.

"Good-Girl" art at its finest, this cover is a rare example from the "Independent-Age" of comics.
