Description:
All Star Comics 9. FEB 1942. Page 1 opening splash page to the Spectre Story. Pen/brush and ink, 'Twice up artwork'. Inked onto medium thick board. As i'm sure all interested parties will know this is a very rare opportunity to acquire an important piece of Golden age Spectre art, i personally have never seen an earlier image than this one of the Spectre, and i don't believe it would be possible to find a better image than this stunning Splash page, i would guess that the art is by Bernard Baily as he was responsible for most early Spectre art, but please do your own research on this. It is in excellent condition overall, there is some light surface discoloration and dirt and a few corner bumps to the board. The top dialogue box is a stat and looks to be original as it's hand inked. There is a VERY small amount of white out to the lower part of the Spectre's leg in the big image and 2-3 very tiny spots in the smaller box's (please see pic), there is a date stamp on the back reading 'FEB. 1942'. The image size is approx 17.3/4" x 12.3/4". I am a long time collector and am selling a few of my pieces, some of which (including this one) hav'nt been on the market for many many years. I will be happy to answer any question's to the best of my knowledge, so please use the 'ask seller a question' button and i will do my best to help.
