This is heartbreaking for me to part with, but unexpected medical bills
cause me to give up my treasures (guess it's better than gofundme...).
Anyway, this drawing was made by George Perez in 1979 at a small comics
convention in Corpus Christi, TX. Judge Margarito C. Garza (creator of
"Relampago" and owner of our only comics shops back then!) brought him
to our town. I was already in awe of Mr. Perez' work having read "Sons
of the Tiger" as the back up story in Iron Fist.
George was just starting to break out as a known artist and honestly
when I asked for art, he was all Marvel so I was torn on who from the
Avengers I wanted, I ended up picking Iron Man.
And you see this beauty in front of you. Completed in colored pens and
ink on Bristol board. Just gorgeous - so gorgeous I ended up having it
framed and have never removed it from the frame. Obviously it is also
signed to me - oh to be back in the days when you could talk to an
artist and buy art direct and not pay for autographs and such. (the old
days!)
Size of the image is 8.5" x 11.5" - I'm having to sacrifice this darling
to pay my bills. Hoping this goes to collector who loves Perez' style
as much as I do.
Will be shipped Priority with Insurance.
