Invincible #70 Story Page 2 Original Art (Image Comics, 2010)

A powerful full splash page illustrated by Ryan Ottley and Cliff Rathburn in blueline pencil and ink from Invincible #70, page 2. This striking composition captures the pivotal moment of Rus Livingston’s death, one of the astronauts from the earlier exploratory mission to Mars. After becoming infected by the parasitic Sequids, Rus transforms into a devastating threat to Earth, forcing Mark Grayson, Invincible, to make the difficult and tragic decision to end his life in order to prevent the Sequid invasion from spreading. Ottley’s dramatic composition, enhanced by Rathburn’s bold inks, conveys the brutal impact and emotional weight of the moment as Invincible delivers the decisive blow.

Created by Ryan Ottley, co-creator and defining visual force behind Invincible, with inks by longtime collaborator Cliff Rathburn, this page represents a standout example from the celebrated run of the series. Large-scale splash pages capturing major turning points in the story remain especially desirable among collectors of Invincible original art. At the close of the auction, only one fortunate collector will have the opportunity to take this exceptional piece home.
