Original Art for Dominique Laveau Voodoo Child #3 (2012) Complete Issue Pencils by Denys Cowan, Inks by John Floyd In auction ending October 18 from Dominique Laveau Voodoo Child (2012 DC Vertigo) 3 2012 DC A fantastic full issue featuring everything great about this moody, action-packed horror series that sees a young woman learn that she's the descendant of of the storied voodoo practitioner Marie Laveau- and that that comes with responsibilities. The series' third issue features some fantastic pages, most notably the spread on pages 14-15- a montage of a supernatural civil war raging in the shadows of America's own. This group is also an interesting look at the process of creating comics. The first 10 pages are Cowan's raw pencils with the back half of the issue being Floyd's inks over printed versions of Cowan's pencils. Cowan's raw art is loose and full of energy and expression and it's fascinating to be able to see where Floyd (a regular inking partner of Cowan's) chose to focus Cowan's dizzying linework while still maintaining all of the energy. The reason for the split in medium in this group is likely that the two artists each kept half of the pages they personally worked on and sent the rest to the other artist. Pages 1-10 are pencil on DC Comics art board. Pages 11-20 are ink over printed pencils on comic art board with portions of the inks, mainly solid black areas, also printed in addition to the pencils. Additionally there is a partial page featuring a redraw of a figure from page 19 which was likely done at editorial's request and digitally placed into the full page for publication. All full pages measure 11" x 17", redraw measures 11" x 4 1/2". |
Original Art from Doomsday Clock #10 (2019) Page 19 Pencils and Inks by Gary Frank from Doomsday Clock (2017 DC) 10A 2019 DC One of the best words to describe Gary Frank's art would be 'timeless', a quality that made him the perfect artist to bring a story like Doomsday Clock to life. A sprawling, existential story that sought to both break and repair DC's continuity at the same time, Frank captured snapshots of DC's history from the Golden Age to the present perfectly. A pivotal moment from the story, this page sees Dr. Manhattan observing the iconic origin of Superman throughout several iterations which works as an inventive meta commentary on DC's multiple reboots with Dr. Manhattan observing in much the same way a reader who has read the multiple depictions would. Frank also makes fantastic use of the 9-panel format, staging Manhattan only at the edges of panels as an unseen voyeur attempting to make sense of the ever shifting reality- probably the most relatable the character has ever been! Pencil and ink on DC Comics art board. 11" x 17". |

A fantastic spread, Silvestri paints a maudlin and sweeping scene with Cyclops standing alone in a sea of gravestones, his face locked in grim determination mode. It's all contrasted with the one line of dialogue delivered off-page by Emma: "This will only be the third or so time you've had to bury her."

Original Art Batman Mortality #1 (2011) 7 Pages Pencils by Denys Cowan, Inks by John Floyd 2011 DC This group of stunning pages is a bit of an oddity, especially in determining whether or not it was "published". In 2011, DC Comics legend Paul Levitz teamed up with another comics legend, Denys Cowan for a miniseries entitled Batman: Mortality which would follow Batman through the lens of the five stages of grief. Of course comics fans will recognize that 2011 was a turbulent time for DC as they were preparing to reboot their entire line's continuity with the New 52 initiative. According to some interviews with Cowan, the script went through several revisions as the decision on whether to set it within the new continuity or as a nebulous story from Batman's past went back and forth. Eventually, all of the disruption in the line resulted in the unfinished project being abandoned. Several years later a portion of the story, the first five pages, were kind of published in Detective Comics 80 Years of Batman HC (2019 DC) The Deluxe Edition. The pages were 'kind of' published as Cowan and Floyd's art was downsized and placed at tilted angles alongside similarly sized and tilted images of Levitz's original script. This makes these original art pages the only way to see Cowan and Floyd's stunning work in a full format. The pages themselves are a magnificent example of veteran comics creators tapping into the primal aspects of these long running characters as even without the dialogue and captions, we can see so much about Bruce's relationship with his father and the trauma his death caused in the first five pages. Pages 6 and 7 have, as far as we're aware, never been shown or published and see Cowan and Floyd in fine form depicting the Dark Knight dashing through the rooftops of Gotham City.

Unused Clown Painted Cover or Splash from 2000 AD (1993) by Greg Staples 1993 Greg Staples is one of the definitive artists for 2000 AD, helping cement the publication as one of the go-to's for adventurous sequential art and storytelling. Staples' rendition here of The Clown, who writer Igor Goldkin describes as "a sad, stupid character to whom horrible things happen which transforms him into a twisted ludicrously psychopath bent on murderous revenge" is absolutely gorgeous. Staples' use of pen to lay out the piece provides a unique texture which is really only visible in the original art, most apparent in the areas he crosshatched. His painting is stunning, with rich colors and incredible detail that give the piece an unrivaled sense of depth. Per the Fleetway stamp on the back of the page, it appears that this piece was slated for use in Prog 860, although the piece does not appear there. Staples contributed two chapters of the Clown's second story in Progs 877 and 878, as well as the 1994 2000 AD Yearbook and this piece (unfortunately) does not appear in any of them.
