Description
George Tuska Spyman #1 Cover Original Art (Harvey, 1966). Created by Jim Steranko, Spyman was an "enemy agent fighter" with a powerful robot hand, possibly inspired by the Outer Limits episode, "Demon with a Glass Hand" (1963). The aged photostat at the lower left was meant to show the character's abilities, including a run-down of the hand's abilities. The schematic of the hand was used multiple times: in a box on the cover, grafted onto a smaller figure in the upper left corner of the cover, on the first page of each issue, and in the letter column. Although the finished comic kept Steranko's basic design, this cover was drawn by legendary comic book artist George Tuska. The art's image area measures 11" x 16.5". Aside from a missing word balloon, minor edge wear, some blunting at the corners, and aged type elements, the art is in Very Good condition. From the Joe Simon Estate.More information about George Tuska. See also: Tuska, George Artist. Lookup the Comic Book in our Guide
