Offered in this lot is a remarkably detailed piece of original cover art created for the groundbreaking Hong Kong manhua Dragon Tiger Gate.

This cover illustration features Xicheng Yong the Fire Cloud Evil God (AKA Shibumi) in a dramatic split image with an opposing Youxia (traveling warrior) character who's name is undetermined. The two characters span the page with an astonishing combined image size of 11.5" x 16". Hand-drawn in ink with mixed media, the illustration is accomplished over a blueline print on bond paper with an overall size of 11.75" x 16.5" and includes text along the lower edge indicating cover usage. With typical handling and edge wear including some light smudging, surface wrinkles, and a bit remaining tape, overall this imposing original cover illustration is in Very Good condition.
