Description

Thirty-five years after I sold this gem, I am finally reunited with my very first page of original art that I purchased. It has been a long journey as I have been on the hunt for this page for 25 years. Folks interested in hearing the details can listen to the Felix Comic Art Podcast for all the details. For now, enjoy the page. My collecting career has come full circle.

Been a long time coming - I remember you were looking for this way back when.  So cool you were able to find it!!  I've had a couple of sweet pieces make their way back to me.  It's a nice feeling - but 25 years!!  That's extra sweet!!  Congrats!

Congrats, and great podcast with Felix. I can't believe this page just dissappeared for years. One with Batman and Carrie would IMO have always been desirable. Now if you could only get a scan and slip the print into our Aritst Editions!
