This is a 1 OF A KIND
Official Marvel color guide page used in the direct production of the
1999 X-MEN ANNUAL comic book. This 1990's Marvel Universe one of a
kind original color guide art is the ONLY color guide of this page in
existence.
NOTE: Color guide art is not the
same as the original black and white original art of the artist and
inker, but it is the original artwork of the colorist. Color guides
(colorist's artwork) are re-sized copies of the pencil and ink original
artwork that are assigned to the issue's colorist, and then hand colored
by that colorist. Colorguides measure about the same size as the
published comic book, and some have "color codes" for the printers to
follow. Computer coloring has made hand painted colorist artwork extinct
and now highly collectible! This description is (C) RLC.
