Description

This is the 1st version Chris drew for the Death t-shirt in 1992 and a beauty. It predates the High Cost of Living mini series. Chris was on fire in that 1992-93 period.
Always happy to add more vintage Bachalo to my collection.

This is when goth culture really took hold and they knew how to use black and white for maximum appeal.

His prelims are better than 90% of other artist's final versions. Love this.

You are mean. Emasculating the rest of us Sandman collectors across the globe is not nice. I'm going to remember this.

You've thrown down a gauntlet, Mr K. I'm just trying to hold up my end!

Sublime stuff! Love the pose, the expression, the scratchy inks...Bachalo really doing his thing here. And a "prelim"?! Frame job takes it over the top, too. Congrats, Joseph!
