Description

First off I'm not as eloquent a storyteller as most collectors on here, but this acquisition deserves some context. Maybe 8 or 10 years ago Albert Moy has this piece up for sometime on his website. I was a newer collector with 2 young kids and I debated for months whether or not I could afford it and even made an offer or 2 to Albert. Finally one day I decided to pull the trigger and it was gone from the site. Around 2018 or so I reached out to the person that had purchased it from Albert. Sean told me that he would let me know if he ever decided to move it. Every few years I would check in. A few weeks ago I saw this piece pop up on Heritage, then later the same day, Sean's wife Bonnie reached out to let me know that Sean had passed back in 2023 and it was going at auction. I've been a huge fan of BWS my whole life, over the years his artwork has been extremely expensive and harder and harder to find. I'm sure others on here dream of owning a Weapon X page, Valiant Cover, or a Conan piece. (I will still dream of a Weapon X page). I'm a big fan of the FF as well and it just felt right to bring this piece home (first purchase since moving into a new home). I'm honored to be the caretaker of this exquisite little sketch of the Thing by BWS. Thanks again to the Sean's family for putting this grail up for auction.
