I've had my eye on this one for a long time - Aquired from the Honorable Jim Warden the other day. This is a stunning piece of terrible beauty. The scans really do not do it justice. Here is a link to the pencils in the gallery http://www.artofjohnbyrne.com/gallery/pencils/action/action8 33pencils/ACTION833.05.jpg.php I'm not too familiar with Rapmund's inks in general but they are perfect for this piece and he was obviously excited about the work - see writing on back...

Had my eye on this one for a while too - got it along with the page above. Scans look funky in the middle due to scanning each page in two parts...

Yeah, I had tickets for all three days but I skipped Sunday. Did anyone here go Sunday? I was curious if dealers would be trying to unload stuff at a discount just so they didn't have to load it all back up and the end of the night.

Jon -
I *only* went on Sunday, so I don't have anything to compare it to. There were a *bunch* of 50% off bins, but I have the feeling there were like that the whole con.
I was there until they flashed the lights for us to leave, and saw no dealers making deals.

Nice Swan page, Lloyd, but Abel's inks are pretty over-powering.

I met Ariel Olivetti at the NYCC in the fall of 2010 and was lucky enough to score a stunning Namor piece he had done. After hearing that he only accepts commissions that will be picked up in person at conventions, I asked him to create a piece featuring a childhood favorite of mine, done in his amazing style...... with mind-blowing results!! Done in colored pencil.... which also is incredible to see up close. Special thanks to Jason Hickok, who has agreed to pick this up for me!
