Rich Buckler (as Validar)Fantastic Four#196 Preliminary Cover Original Art (Marvel Comics, 1978).
Buckler signed his Marvel work as Validar, here -- a cover-name
during a period when he was under an exclusive contract at rival DC
Comics. Too bad this excellent conceptual design did not make the
cut -- the published version, by George Pérez and Pablo Marcos,
uses the same theme, but in a split-panel configuration. Graphite
on Bristol board. The image area measures 10" x 15". Light toning.
Excellent condition.
I put this issue in the Pérez checklist, but it's not really a "must have" item. Similarly like OFFICIAL TEEN TITANS INDEX #5 is not crucial to your collection, but it is worth a small mention.
FANTASTIC FOUR #500 (Director's Cut Edition)
is the first time that a comic book has extra material, like the
popular "Director's Cut/Special Edition" DVDs. There's 15 pages of
extra material: "Deleted Scenes", sketch designs, "Outakes", Fred
Hembeck's "Fantastic Five... Hundred, That Is!!", process of putting a
comic book together, Stan Lee's original synopsis for FF #1, and a
"Printography".
The Printography reprints all previous
499 covers of the Fantastic Four, over three pages. Obviously in order
to fit all the covers the reprints of each cover is about 3 by 5 cm.
