From my first issue of ASM... love Vess' Spidey! Congrats, and thanks for sharing!

I found a link to the pencils to the other recreation, can't find an inked version, didn't save anything from the other auction. You can see he rotated the sword in King Arthur's hand in the one I saw. I should of noticed yours was different, or in actuality was more like the original in that regard. I see a 3 in the top right of yours, so perhaps this is the 3rd recreation, or 3rd overall Alan as done. I don't know; but it is oh so pretty! Congrats again.

The other from Ebay was a recreation/reinterpreation as well. RGL had it done in the early 2000's before he aquired the Original Sword is Drawn Poster Art which he still owns. So you had this done and acquired it directly from Alan recently, cool! It's gorgeous!

So I have some cursory history with this piece, and it is in large part responsible for my 3 consecutive Excalibur Davis pages from the Excalibur Special #1. I spotted this on Ebay in the Spring of 2021 for an unreachable (for me) buy it now amount, it went unsold, and I reached out the seller, to see if we could come to a deal at a lower price. We weren't able to; but it sent me down the rabbit whole of looking all over CAF/Heritage etc. for Davis Excalibur art to justify a lower price, and or just ogle his beautiful work. In doing so I realized that RGL was selling his collection of Davis's Excalibur Special #1 pages, and while this amazing recreation/reinterpreation was far outside my means, I was able to manage some pages from the Special with RGL's willingness to accept time payments. Even ended up with 3 consecutive eventually, after securing one via Auction the following year. And so, seeing and failing to add this magnificent Davis, led me to my beautiful Davis Excalibur examples I now have. Small world. Congrats, and enjoy this stellar piece from Davis!

It's a pleasure to see this after having heard of it when we were recently able to have lunch together. Love Jonathan's work, and this is another great example from him. I dig the cat... pretty sure he's a cat owner, and that's no doubt his. Either way, great piece. Congrats, and thanks for sharing Eric!

Stellar example from an epic, and influential book. Definitely my favorite X-Men story. Check out my gallery for a rather finished color prelim to the cover. Congrats, and thanks for sharing!

So nice! Loved Lightle's Classic X-Men works! Congrats, and thanks for sharing!

"... Wolverine goes through extremes to get a good tan." Hilarious! lol Great page from a classic run/issue! Congrats, and thanks for sharing!

I truly expected this to dwarf the recent record price that the first Spider-Man symbiote costume appearance set. It seemed on track to do just that; but I was really surprised when it finally went live and there were barely any additional bids, and while it's kinda hard to call the end price on this a "deal", I honestly feel like it was, all things considered. So congrats on a relative "deal" on an amazingly historic piece from what I consider the greatest Batman story ever told.

Lovely, congrats, and thanks for sharing!

Stubby claws are best claws... lovely rendition, thanks for sharing.
