Rawhide Kid 120 COVER PROOF Larry Lieber 1974 Art Kid Colt Outlaw Gunfight Marve

Description: The Cover Proof to an old Marvel Comic! This Auction Includes: RAWHIDE KID #120 Featuring: The Rawhide Kid vs. Kid Colt Outlaw! Original Untrimmed Cover Proof (AKA: Full Wrap Proof) Courtesy of the respected Larry Lieber, Ghosting The Art Style Of Jack "King" Kirby! This Was An Epic Western Cover With A Major Crossover Battle By MARVEL Comics Used For This 1974 Issue Of This Long-Running Cult-Classic Cowboy Title. GREAT 25-CENT COVER WITH A BRIGHT YELLOW LOGO AGAINST A DEEP GREEN BACKGROUND! This cover epitomizes the 'cowboy versus outlaw covers' of the era. ANY FAN OF THE GREAT WESTERN COMICS WOULD THRILL TO OWN THIS PIECE OF COMICS HISTORY! Extremely bright colors and superb gloss. Truly Incredible Eye-appeal: Very High-Quality Paper Was Used. Snow-white whites and colors so brilliant you'll think they're still wet! Because it is too large to fit the entire piece upon the scanner, in our picture you can only see a portion of the back cover advertisement for the American Seed Company, a company which ran ads on the backs of comics for many years. Any admirer of the cool comics from back in the nostalgic Silver-age and Bronze-age of comics, the sixties and seventies, would happily add this showpiece to his or her comic art collection. This is a must-have piece of pop culture history for any fan of vintage Wild-West material or of original cover production art, or just the serious Marvel fan who likes having true rarities but cannot afford to shell out four-figure$ for the black & white line art! Many of you have dealt with us over the years via our ads in C.B.M. and/or C.B.G. (Comic Book Marketplace and Comics Buyer's Guide, etc.) We are five star sellers, which means we're secure packagers and prompt shippers, so expect to be pleased. Back in the "good ole days", publishers normally burned or discarded such production art once the comic went to print. Mr. Jack Adler, of DC fame, once painfully recounted to me the tale of himself and fellow DC artist Jerry Serpi cutting up thousands of pages of original comic line art and production art. He said it broke his heart to destroy all that beautiful artwork; But back over four decades ago, few foresaw the future value of such exclusive pieces of comic-book history! This type of item allowed the editors to make sure the alignment and all the color registration was just right, even in the advertisements, for all of the front and the back, and on the cover interiors, for this comic. There are no holes in the spine area, of course, and it has a broad white border around all edges, and does include the entire back cover, and all the ads filling the interior portions. This was the final step, and once the editorial and creative staff reviewed it and approved it for use, to make sure there were no glitches or misprints, the actual comic-book could hit the press. For additional information, check out the lengthy color article on the comics printing process in the September 2001 issue of Comic Book Marketplace (which is still available from us in our store.) Additional cover art can now be found by checking the Key Comics ebay store (User ID: keycomics). Contact us with any questions. Buy aggressively, as such items are genuinely rare! These items are brilliant and glossy, (obviously very well preserved), and they are larger than comic size and have the ubiquitous vertical crease to the spine region; since they were part of the editorial process they can include tack-holes, indentations from a paper clip, staple-holes, chips, pencil notations, tape, and/or edge wear. This one is a great looking showpiece, which would be especially impressive framed, --all colors are rich and uniform, and extremely bold thoughout. As Usual: LOW BUY IT NOW PRICE AND NO RESERVE!
