Careful! The language of collecting, especially in comics, can be tricky sometimes, but "original art" is not something that can be diluted. Publication in no way makes a piece any less "original".

This is a point that seems sometimes to be lost on people who collect comics, and are used to dealing with items that can often be found in huge quantities. Some years back I came across an Overstreet style price guide for original art, and flipping thru it I found certain pieces listed as "Rare". The absurdity there is that no piece of original art can be any more "rare" than any other. Whether it's the Mona Lisa or a page by Rob Liefeld, there is, after all, only ONE of any piece.

And that's as "rare" as it gets!
