Neal Adams - The Brave and the Bold #80 Cover Original Art (DC, 1968). By this issue of The Brave and the Bold, Batman was the anchor, especially since Neal Adams was drawing it, and the new Steve Ditko creation, the Creeper, was into the third issue of his short-lived series, Beware the Creeper.

Suspense, many things can be considered horror." The image area of this tense cover scene measures 13.5" x 19". The title logo and the portraits of the horror hosts are stats. The art is in Excellent condition.

Johnny Craig - Vault of Horror #21, Cover Original Art (EC, 1951). With his heart-stopping ability to create quiet, mounting terror, Johnny Craig was tapped by Bill Gaines to create the first cover of Vault of Horror, and every ensuing issue through the end of the run nearly five years later. In this particularly grisly cover by Craig, the remains of a psychotic zoo keeper's victim have emerged from an alligator pit to exact retribution. "He did some of our best covers," Gaines recalled. "Including the infamous severed head cover, which may be the most famous cover ever in comics, and certainly the only one ever to be the focus of an inquiry before the United States Senate." A slow, meticulous craftsman, in a career that spanned four decades, that Craig's relatively small body of work has been influential and well-remembered is testimony to his skill. The image area of this horrific masterpiece measures 13" x 18.5", and, aside from some light staining on the original logo stat, the art is in Excellent condition.

Neal Adams - Strange Adventures #211 Cover Original Art (DC, 1968). This tense confrontation scene comes from the very heart of the original Deadman run in Strange Adventures. A rogues' gallery of Deadman's nefarious circus peers is portrayed crouching behind him. While these figures were obscured by the coloring scheme used in the printed comic book cover, here they are seen in vivid detail! Neal Adams' fine-lined inking style was at its most masterful throughout this era. The art paper measures 16.5" x 11.5", with an image area of 15" x 10". The condition of the art is Excellent. The title logo and other type elements are replacements and have been carefully color-matched to the art paper, adding to the eye-appeal of the cover. The cover has a paste-on art correction that was done by Neal Adams to eliminate a foreground figure's hand that was originally drawn along the left border's edge. This correction area is original art, not a stat. It is applied with such craftsmanship that a very close inspection is needed to even detect it.

Crime Patrol #8's prison-yard scene, with its nondescript new arrivals and faceless cops, is especially grim and effective." The image area of this hard-hitting cover measures 13.5" x 19".

Will Eisner - The Spirit #42 Cover Original Art (Kitchen Sink, 1988).
