Back in the \"good ole days\",most publishers normally burned ordiscarded such production art once the comic went to print. Mr. Jack Adler, the long-term Vice President of Production for DC Comics during the period this item was produced, once painfully recounted to me the tale of himself 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 forty years ago, few foresaw the future value of such exclusive pieces of comic-book history. This type of itemallowed the editors to make sure the alignment and all the colorregistration was just right, even in the advertisements, for all of the front and the back, and on the cover interiors, for this comic. There are no holes in the spine area, of course, and it has a broad white border around all edges, and does include the entire back cover, and all the adsfilling the interior portions.This was the final step, and once the editorial and creative staff reviewed it and approved it for use, to make sure there were noglitches or misprints, the actual comic-bookcouldhitthe press.For additional information, check out the lengthy color article on the comics printing process in the September 2001 issue of Comic Book Marketplace (which is still available from us in our store) Additional cover art can now be found by checking the other Key Comics items (User ID: keycomics). Please contact uswith any questions. Buy aggressively, as such items are genuinely rare if not unique!These items are brilliant and glossy, (obviously very well preserved), and they are larger than comic size, with the ubiquitous single vertical crease to the spine region; since they were part of the editorial process they can include tack-holes, indentations from a paper clip, staple-holes, chips, pencil notations, tape, and/or edge wear, but this one somehow avoided the usual detractors. I hope that the mediocre scan will convey that this is a great looking showpiece, which would be especially impressive framed. The colors are rich and uniform, and extremely bold thoughout.
