WHAT IS AN ARTIST’S EDITION?


AN ARTIST'S EDITION PRESENTS COMPLETE STORIES WITH EACH PAGE SCANNED FROM THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL ART.

While appearing to be in black and white, each page was scanned in color to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art—for instance, corrections and blue pencils. Each page is printed the same size as drawn, and the paper selected is as close as possible to the original art board. 


This book is worth every penny, its breath taking. I love collecting original art and have always wanted some of Walt Simonsons pages but i knew i could never afford them. So finding this huge hard cover edition made me drool! The publishers description above details what the book consists of so i wont go over it again, but I will say you have to find a copy for yourself. Here are a couple interior page shots to give you an idea of whats inside.
