Description
John Buscema Silver Surfer #4 Cover Re-Creation Original Art (c. 1990s). An absolutely huge re-creation measuring 20" x 28"! The poster-size re-creations by Buscema that exist were all commissioned by one top collector, and this is the only Surfer #4 done in that size (the others Big John did were one each of Silver Surfer #1, Sub-Mariner #6, The Avengers #57, Fantastic Four #112, and two versions of The Avengers Annual #2). The man who commissioned these tells us, "John stopped doing the oversized ones because he was inking on the floor -- they were too big for his drawing table and he felt uncomfortable." (See image online for scale.) The talented Buscema worked on nearly every ongoing series while a mainstay with Marvel Comics, producing countless covers -- with the memorable cover of Silver Surfer #4 from 1969 featuring Thor and Norrin Radd (that's the Silver Surfer's real name) together. Rendered in ink over graphite and blue pencil on poster board. This re-creation was signed in the lower right of the 20" x 28" image area. In Excellent condition.More information about John Buscema.
