Description

This piece has been on Burkey's site for a LONG time.  Every time he posts new art I always end up running across this in my searches.  I have been getting shut out lately on the auction circuit so I decided this was a good time to pull the trigger on a page I had been admiring for a long time.  

I have been a fan of Vess' art since the early 90's when the Star Wars Galaxy cards came out.  I was never a star wars fan but seemed to buy at least 1 pack of everything that the LCS put out.  I literally bought a single pack and pulled an autograph redemption card that turned into the Yoda/Skywalker Card signed by Vess.  I've been a fan of his ever since.  I rarely see his art come up and when you do it's pretty pricey.  So getting his art on The Spectre is definitely special, even if it is only just a prelim.

I believe that some of my OA will be in the second specter. Omnibus. I think that's kind of cool

I love the Spectre and I love Vess' art, so this is a cool piece. Hopefully you thought to haggle him down, given how long it had sat on the site!

Fabulous fantasy treatment!  Vess turns the Spectre into a romantic gothic romance figure!

That's a great cover prelim and the perfect Vess piece for your collection. Congrats on pulling the trigger and making it yours. Do you still have the autographed Star Wars card you pulled from the redemption back in the day? Thanks for sharing the story!

I do still have the card.  I tried to send it into TAG for grading but they only accept pack pulled autographs and not redemptions.  But at least it got upgraded to a one touch holder.
