Fabulous poster painting and the color is still brilliant. Jackie spelled his name with a "y" until they changed it when he made The Big Brawl for the US.
Ray, it's just a print of the cover art. I do have one Western painting.
This strip is stunning because it was drawn by Neal Adams! Any way you could get that confirmed?
Great to see that this painting was finished so nicely. I have the pencil prelim for a smaller size canvas that was not completed when you changed the size to 24 X 36. Who was the model for the Spider?
Yes, Herb Trimpe did very rough breakdowns in blue pencil and barry pencilled and inked the page. You don't see the very stiff Trimpe style come through on this page. Looking at the actual page the breakdowns are just blocking out the characters and panels. Barry really had to pencil and ink it, not just ink tight layouts or pencils. Barry did some layouts or loose pencils on RUNE which were inked/finished by Jerry Bingham. Jim Lee inked a cover pencilled by Barry.

Not a Conan page but not $5-10K either. I like his inking on this page. At least it wasn't inked by someone else and there is some action going on.
I wanted a nice Byrne/Sinnott piece and this was affordable. Notice that the wide open eyes on PAPER were changed in the printed version from the Sinnott finished version to be more squinty like the original pencils.
Thanks for clearing it up with Neal. He must have been channeling Neal on this page.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. The face really looks like Neal's inking. Just a lovely sensitive job. The hair looks a little stiffer than Neal might have inked it.
It was one of those cases where I thought I had another page already from the same issue and wanted to get a Deadman page and didn't have cash handy. I was a college student at the time. I kept the great Green Arrow killing the guy on the fire escape page. I also missed my chance to buy the unpublished cover to X-men 56 for $300. There was also someone selling all the Spectre and Deadman pages through the Comic Buyers guide back then too. I wish I had bought some of those pages for $100 each!
Thanks for sharing! This is a fine example of a ghosting strip that was not covered up with heavy inking by John Prentice. He might have inked Rip Kirby's face but the rest of the strip looks like it was pencilled and inked by Neal Adams.
This may have been used for the coupons that you had to collect and send in for a copy of Magnus #0.
This was done in the mid-70's around the time Neal switched to more marker inking style than the very polished fine line ink pen style from his Ben Casey and early DC days. You can see the difference in his re-inking of pages in the DC Deadman and Batman collections. I prefer his fine line pen style.
