Here is the original Hand Drawn Cover art for Darker Image #1 by Sam Kieth. This cover is the first appearance of the Maxx and Julie. It also features the 1st app of Rob Liefelds BloodWulf and Jim Lee's Deathblow. The comic was created to showcase these artists creations for Image by having 8pg stories of each character which predates Maxx#1, BloodWulf #1 and Deathblow#1. It is also slightly large then regular comic art being 14x18 Inches. Sam Kieth does not sell his Maxx art so to have a chance at something as nice as this is truly unique and being the 1st app of Maxx it makes for a true grail item. I am starting the bidding at what I feel is below market value. Sam Kieth Marvel Comics presents covers I have been told are going for as high as 20k+. I dont think there is a more important piece to the career of Sam Kieth then this being it marks the beginning of his baby The Maxx! One one of the most significant pieces of art from one of the most talented artists in recent comicdom. Comes in a quality frame with purple vinyl matting.The piece will be sent via registered mail USPS fully insured. Feel free to email with any questions.
