Description

Stunning Cover. Note that the map is a stat and the original art was sized up in post for publication. I'm unsure if Mr. Chaykin was trying to leave himself room artistically to utilize the upper space for Trade Dress plus his signature "Action Word Images" that burst on to the scene with this title. It was all the rage when it debuted. That and the overtly sexual nature of the title which was incendiary when baked into an OTC comic. Incredible, bold artistic choices.

NOTE: This piece is now under contract to be auctioned on Comiclink. More details to follow.
