Original Comic Art – SOUL SAGA #2 DPS pages 1 & 2 Stephen Platt Signed RARE!

I don't even feel guilty about liking this piece. I always look at Platt as sort of a guilty pleasure since he's so symbolic of an era that I feel was bad for comics. The thing is, there's a lot to like about his art and this piece is almost all about the good parts and none about the bad. +1
