Back in the "good ole days", DC normally burned ordiscarded such production art once the comic went to print. Mr. Adlertold meof numerous times that he 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 then, nobody foresaw the future value of such exclusive pieces of comic-book history.

This is the actual Cover Proof, (includes ads on the reverse, and includes the entire back cover portion, AKA: "Full Wrap Color Proof".) The editorial and/or creative staff reviewed it and approved it for use, to make sure there were no errors or needed improvements, before the actual book hit the press.

For additional information regarding the cover production methodology of this beloved era, check out the lengthy color article on the Adler Collection in the September 2001 issue of Comic Book Marketplace (which is still available inour store!) Additional cover art can now be found by checking theKey Comics store (user ID: keycomics). Buy aggressively, as such items are typically one-of-a-kind, and DC production pieces from over thirty years ago as a whole are notoriously rare.

These are brilliant and glossy, (obviously very well preserved), and are a bit larger than comic size; since they were part of the editorial process they can include tack-holes, indentations from a paper clip, staple-holes, chips, pencil notations, creases, tape, and/or edge wear. (This one is in amazing shape, see the scan!) All colors are rich and uniform, and extremely bold thoughout!
