Original Unused Cover Art for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #14B (2012) by Kevin Eastman from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2011 IDW) 14B 2012 It doesn't get better than this for TMNT fans! All four Turtles, Master Splinter, April, and Casey Jones all on one page drawn by creator Kevin Eastman! Atmosphere just drips off this page thanks to Eastman's heavy, blocky inks and clever use of ink splatter. Initially drawn as a variant cover, the piece was redrawn for final publication by Eastman to remove April and Casey and add some decoration to the sewer at the request of editorial. Also included is a copy of the published issue signed and remarked by Eastman as well as copy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Time Capsule, a packet put together by Eastman that includes a signed photo and letter as well as reproductions of early TMNT art and materials. Includes a certificate sticker on the reverse signed by Eastman. Pencil and ink on comic art board. 11" x 17". |

Batman/Darkness Tryout Pages by Aston Roy Cover 2000s A tremendous trifect of pages that show Jackie Estacado stopped from taking a kill shot by the Dark Knight before unleashing his own dark alter ego! Cover's pencils are wonderfully tight and detailed, making this pair of pages a treat to pour over. The first page has an almost EC horror style quality both in the expression on the victim's face and in the perspective with his hand breaking the panel. The second and third pages feature outstanding splash shots of the two vengeance-driven heroes. All sheets are signed by the artist in the bottom margin. Pencil on comic art board. All measure 11" x 17". |

Original Art for a Judomaster Story from Blockbuster/Comics Cavalcade Weekly #4 (Unpublished) by Frank McLaughlin 1980s DC An interesting artifact from DC's acquisition of Charlton, Blockbuster (as it's titled on the page) or Comics Cavalcade Weekly was intended to be an anthology showcase for the Charlton heroes who editorial did not think could support their own books. Further, the series would have also included reprints of the Superman Sunday strips to attract readers. The first issue of the series would have sported a cover by Dave Gibbons, who of course went on to co-create Watchmen which used the Charlton heroes as the basis for its main cast. This page from what was intended to be Blockbuster #4's Judomaster story sees Judomaster and Tiger wrapping up from last issue's adventure before shifting focus to the next threat- the rise of Swordmaker! Pencil and ink DC Comics art board. 11 1/4" x 16 1/2", B&W. |

Original Art for a Judomaster Story from Blockbuster/Comics Cavalcade Weekly #5 (Unpublished) by Frank McLaughlin 1980s DC An interesting artifact from DC's acquisition of Charlton, Blockbuster (as it's titled on the page) or Comics Cavalcade Weekly was intended to be an anthology showcase for the Charlton heroes who editorial did not think could support their own books. Further, the series would have also included reprints of the Superman Sunday strips to attract readers. The first issue of the series would have sported a cover by Dave Gibbons, who of course went on to co-create Watchmen which used the Charlton heroes as the basis for its main cast. This page from what was intended to be Blockbuster #5's Judomaster story sees the criminal element that haunts the Geisha Gardens bar realize that maybe they should have joined up with Swordmaster when he asked the first time! Pencil and ink DC Comics art board with vellum overlay for the effects in the second to last panel. 11 1/4" x 16 1/2", B&W. |

Original Art from Lady Death The Wild Hunt #3 (Unpublished) Page 15 Pencils by Jim Cheung 2000s Unpublished likely due to Crossgen's bankruptcy, this page is interesting as the last two panels appear to have been inked with different supplies, if not by a different artist. Pencil and ink on Crossgen comic art board. 11" x 17". |

Original Art Unused Cover for Tomb Raider #8 (2000) Pencils by Andy Park, Inks by Victor Llamas 2000 Though jungle adventure had mostly fallen out of favor with comic readers by the 90's, Tomb Raider kept the genre's torch as the video game hero's appeal was undeniable. Andy Park's art played a large part in that- bold and detailed with a great eye for action shots, his work is always eye catching and iconic. While this piece was not used as the cover to Tomb Raider #8, it was published in some fashion as a fully colored version of it can be found online. Signed by Park in top margin. Pencil and ink on Image Comics art board. 11" x 17". |

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. Ink and paint on art board. 11 3/4" x 14 1/4". |

Vampirella Tryout Page by Louis Paradis 1999 An absolutely beautiful page from Paradis, demonstrating his mastery of both figurework and technique as everyone's favorite extraterrestrial vampire confronts a devilish figure in a page laid out with nesting panels. Pencil on art board. 11" x 16". |

Wolverine/Gambit Tryout Pages by Mike Leonard 2000s This pair of pages from Leonard is a great example of sequential action storytelling in comics with the first page's near splash of Wolverine leaping after a shadowy figure transitioning to the next page's close-in shots of a thrilling sequence of action. Pencil on art board. Both measure 11" x 17" |
