This is not original pencil and ink art. It is the layered printer's proof produced on sheets of acetate like an animation cel with the artwork and lettering on separate sheets. There are usually one to three of each proof produced, and most were destroyed, with only the final, approved ones surviving. An interesting collectible that is part of the process of producing the DC Absolute Editions of Swamp Thing. This is an important early page from the Alan Moore run that continues the story begun in "The Anatomy Lesson" by which the Swamp Thing comes to realize that he is not the revived Alec Holland, but an elemental holding onto the memories of dead man. The Floronic Man is also comong to realize his origina on this spectacularly formatted page originally illustrated by Stephen R, Bissette and John Totleben with colors by Tatjana Wood and lettering by John Constanza of Alan Moore's Eagle and Eisner Award winning script.The original pen and ink art would have to be valued above $50K, making this a very affordable alternative.
