Description

Killer piece!!!

This is the original cover painting for Doc Savage Annual #1 put out by DC Comics way back in 1989.

The painting is oil on jute mounted on a 22x30" birch board

From George:

"Working on this piece was a dream come true. I have always been a huge Doc Savage fan. I was drawn to the character because of the James Bama covers from Bantam books when they were reprinting the whole 181 super sagas. I quickly found myself engrossed in the stories. So when DC asked me to do a Doc Savage cover I was thrilled.

I did an homage to the Bama covers, basically, including the gun that Bama put into his work.

The turnaround time was pretty quick on this piece and since I was working in oils I found myself drying (read "cooking") the painting by leaning it against my open gas oven! The Vermillion in the piece refused to dry. So it sat on top of a file cabinet at DC Comics offices for awhile before it could be shot or scanned."
