One of a Kind
ORIGINAL ART
DESCRIPTION
This auction is for ORIGINAL
ARTWORK as shown in the photo / scan provided.
I do not sell any "copies", "reproductions", nor "prints" and categorize them as Original Art. The definition of original art is when actual pencil, pen, marker, ink, or paint is used to render an illustration by an artist by hand.
I only sell ORIGINAL
ART. This was used in the production of the actual comic book, it's a one-of-a-kind item.
I am a believer as collectors we're mere custodians of the artwork, holding onto it for safe keeping for future generations to enjoy. With that, I've decided to reduce and pare down my collection and put up for sale various pieces for other collectors to enjoy. I've invested a lot of time and money acquiring my collection of original artwork and it's nice to find them a new happy home to the winning bidder.
If you happen to have a favorite ARTIST or a favorite CHARACTER, let me know and I might have what you may be looking for that could interest you in my collection.
PENCILER (Artist): Anthony Spay (Cover)
This cover artwork by ANTHONY SPAY which is a "Cosplay" parody cover featuring a reimagination of a scene from the 1983 film "Star Wars : Episode VI : Return of the Jedi" with Jabba The Hutt and Princess Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) as "Jabba The Hutt's Dancing Girl" also known more popularly as "Slave Leia"
This was rendered in pencils by Anthony Spay, the artist.
This is a one of a kind original.
The published comic book itself is very rare, commanding values in excess of $100 for high grade editions of the NYCC Exclusive variant, since only 500 of the comic books were printed.
Guess What ? ? ?
This original artwork is one of a kind, so much more scarce of course than a limited edition comic book with a short print run, since it gets no rarer than a 1/1, one of a kind, unique collectible like this.
This auction is for the artwork only, the comic book is furnished for contextual and comparison purposes to provide references to how the original artwork is an what the final finished published cover appears as it was released and distributed as an exclusive variant cover comic book at New York Comic Con in 2012.
The auction DOES NOT come with the comic book shown.

Due to size dimensions and weight of the product and packaging, although I do offer international shipping and appreciate, respect and honor international bidders and customers, sometimes it is cost prohibitive on the shipping side for purchases, which I understand, and for that, if you are international and have a domestic (USA) delivery address through a friend or relative, I can ship to US addresses which I recommend if that is an option, but that address MUST BE registered to your account on Pay Pal, otherwise if you have a domestic (USA) friend or relative who has an eBay account, they could bid on this on your behalf to ship to the US.
