Description

During the early 1980�s �good girl� revival in comics, Will Meugniot (a friend of Dave Stevens) created his Vanity character. Although short lived, his fun art from this series and this character made an impression.

I was fortunate to recently obtain this cover, and Will informed me that the word balloons from the cover (see additional photos) were added using a �thin coat of heated wax as the adhesive.� Will said that it was �Less damaging than glue, but also less permanent.� Unfortunately, the paste ups (wax ups?) are now gone. But the beautiful cover image remains. As you can also see from the additional photos, the page was trimmed down. I certainly hope a previous owner didn�t do that. But Will thinks it�s possible it was done in production to create the trade dress wraparound. I think that is likely a correct description of the Pacific Comics production process, as I have seen other covers (Elric) with the same trimming. In any case, I�m super happy to own this.
