Invincible Returns #1 Story Page 5 Original Art (Image Comics, 2010)

Invincible Returns #1, story page 5. Illustrated by Ryan Ottley in blueline pencil and pencil, this electrifying page captures the first cameo appearance of Grand Regent Thragg, the primary antagonist of the Invincible saga and widely regarded as the most powerful Viltrumite in existence. Few moments in the series carry the same narrative gravity as the introduction of Thragg, a character whose presence would come to dominate the cosmic conflict of the Invincible universe and redefine the stakes for Mark Grayson and the Viltrumite Empire.

Ottley’s masterful storytelling and commanding composition preserve the chilling first glimpse of the character who would go on to become the ultimate adversary of the series. The page is also signed by Ryan Ottley in red, complete with his iconic blood splatter style signature, adding an especially fitting artistic flourish to such a brutal and pivotal moment. For collectors of Invincible original art, moments of this magnitude are exceptionally rare, making this page a true centerpiece level artifact from Robert Kirkman’s landmark creator owned epic. Landry Pop Auctions is especially excited to present this extraordinary page as Thragg prepares to make his long awaited debut in the upcoming fourth season of Invincible.
