Trigan Empire: War with Hericon

Don Lawrence was a hugely influential comic illustrator in Britain during the 60's and 70's who influenced and even mentored such artists as Brian Bolland, Dave Gibbons, Liam Sharpe and Chris Weston. His exceptional watercolor and gauche paintings for the epic Trigan Empire series was his magnum opus. So, when this page became available at a very reasonable auction price, I added it to my collection. (Heritage misattributed the page to a different story arc, however). The word balloons are missing, but are taped to the back of the piece, which is split into two connected art boards. It's really beautiful to look at in person, and you can see why Lawrence was so influential. This piece is dated 1967.
