Loki #4 cover prelim by Esad Ribic

Couldn't agree more, prelims are an awesome collecting approach.  Particualrly when high end artists are doing A-list characters like we have here.  Great get, congrats!     

Great to meet a fellow prelim collector.  P.S. I am gonna be selling one or two prelims on my Dueling Dealers show this Wednesday April 15th.

That's an awesome Ribic Thor pencil prelim with a highly finished pencil look for a prelim in it's own right - looks great and was an important part of the creative process for the cover at a fraction of the price!

Too cool for school!

Ribic's prelims are tighter than the art he does for comic interiors!  You'll notice what matters in his anatomy work in pencil here that would carry over in the final painting.
