Description

The "brother" to the 1986 Marvel Press Poster #5 "Scarlet Witch." See Eric DLS's gallery.

this monster is 20" x 32" on a larger 22" x 34" art board...ink and white paint on art board. PCR reworked the bottom of the piece by adding an additional 4 inches to the bottom of the original board.

This piece was published in the 2017 Kirby100 book on page 72.

P. Craig Russell said about this:

"After drawing the Scarlet Witch poster for Marvel in 1986, I pencilled this Silver Surfer drawing in 1987 as another projected poster. I never finished it and it sat in the bottom of a drawer for 26 years. Having finished my Graveyard Book story (and wondering if I’m going to have to step in and draw another one of the stories while waiting to see if one of the artists is going to drop out), I found myself “on hold.” Thought of this drawing and decided to ink it. I also thought that I could just sit down and start inking, but found it needed some reworking, so I’m into day three. It’s 20″x32″ and hangs over the top of my drawing board."

Thanks to "ferrolad" for selling this to me!
