Description
Official Marvel Comics Try-Out Book #1 (Marvel, 1983) Condition: VG/FN. An oversized book published and conceived by Jim Shooter. The book was basically a contest, encouraging young comics creators to try-out for a job with Marvel, with the winner receiving an art assignment with the company.The book describes the jobs and tools of a writer, a penciller, an inker, a letterer, and a colorist, and then provides pages ready to work on. An unfinished Spider-Man story, titled "Personals", was the springboard for the try-out portion, which among other features contained blank, pre-ruled pages for pencilers, pre-penciled "non-photo blue" pages (by artist John Romita, Jr.) to be inked and lettered, and completed black-and-white pages to be colored. The entire book was printed on two-ply 11" × 17" paper, replicating the typical Bristol board size. This copy is in nice shape, and has not been drawn or colored in. There is some water damage to the top edge, with some rippling, and a few writing impressions on the front cover. Not listed in Overstreet.
From the Steve Sherman Collection.
