Description

You are bidding on a lot consisting of all the original art published for the Evil Dead franchise one-shot ARMY OF DARKNESS, ASH's CHRISTMAS HORROR comic book from Dynamite Entertainment in December 2008 as written by James Kuhoric. This art was hand-penciled & inked entirely by artist DAVE SIMONS, an only occasional opportunity in his career. Dave even cut his own Bristol boards to approximately 11"x17" size. There are 30 sequential pages, including 2 splashes and a double-page splash, and even the cover. Since Dave hand-rendered all the art these are not blueline inks but his actual inks over his actual pencils. Finding a complete story and cover available from a single buyer is quite uncommon and Dave rendered this artwork shortly before he'd pass away from a second bout of cancer. It's been in his sister Bette's home for just over 15 years and as reported in a news article from May 27 of this past year, is part of the Dave Simons Estate Collection that Bette Simons donated to the official 501(c)(3) non-profit Inkwell Awards on the 15th anniversary of his passing in 2009. Over the summer the organization offered vintage original art with Howard the Duck by Gene Colan and a DC 3-ring binder Superman Animated Style Guide, all of which have been sold.

An interesting note about the story content is that Christmas movies and specials are parodied in this issue that include Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964), A Christmas Story (1983), Alvin And The Chipmunks (1983), A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966), and It's a Wonderful Life (1946). eBay doesn't allow more than 24 image files so we have attached the cover, what the printed cover looked like and most of the 30 pages with 22 files. Please be aware that none of the original art is signed by Dave Simons, but there is a Certificate of Authenticity to authenticate by Inkwell Awards director Bob Almond that this lot consists of the full story contents of the 2008 comic book and that it's from the Dave Simons Estate Collection. Please note that we do not have the comic book or the color cover shown as a reference of what the actual cover looked like in print.
