Description
Arthur Adams and Terry Austin New Mutants Special Edition #1 Wraparound Cover Original Art (Marvel, 1985). A landmark in comic book artistry, this electrifying cover stands as one of Arthur Adams' greatest triumphs! A masterpiece that cemented his status as one of the most celebrated artists of the 1980s. Every inch of this cover bursts with his signature precision, dynamic energy, and jaw-dropping detail in a staggering display of unrivaled craftsmanship. This is top-tier Adams, an image so enduring that he still proudly showcases it as a full-color print at conventions, but the massive original must be seen to fully appreciate the masterful technique Adams and Terry Austin poured into this Magnum Opus.At the heart of this spectacle, the New Mutants charge onto an Asgardian battlefield, mutant might clashing with sword-and-sorcery fury. Loki and the Enchantress hover above the scene like puppet masters, their cruel amusement framing the chaos as Storm stands imprisoned, a regal yet helpless figure observing the carnage. Notably, this epic issue features the first appearance of Asgardian Storm in a classic two-part storyline that then continued in X-Men Annual #9.
Drafted in ink and white paint over graphite on illustration board with an image area of 19.5" x 15", with additional inks on two layers of acetate overlays. Signed and dated by Adams and Austin in the lower left of the image area. Light toning, adhesive residue in the margins, editorial notes from Arthur Adams to Terry Austin in the right margin. UPC, logo, text, and corner box stat paste-ups. In Excellent condition.
