Description: Make sure to BOOKMARK OUR EBAY STORE and check out OUR NEWLY LISTED ITEMS This is an original printed production art cover for The Demon #5, published by D.C. Comics in 1973. It is a full color production art cover, by the legendary Jack "King" Kirby. The cover is a single sheet, which measures approximately 7" by 10 1/2", and is blank on the reverse side. This is NOT a mass-produced print or lithograph. It is a production art cover that was created during the production process for the comic, and used internally by the comic company, in this case D.C. This is a very cool and rare piece of comic production art that you will hardly ever get a chance to see. This is part of the famous Jack Adler collection, and is one of the most classic Kirby cover images of the era, which is saying something! Kirby is one of the greatest legends in the history of comics, who is best-known for his work at Marvel Comics in the 1960's, where together with Stan Lee he co-created the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, the Mighty Thor, the Incredible Hulk, the Silver Surfer, and many more classic characters and teams. He is also of course the original co-creator (along with Joe Simon) of Captain America back in the 1940's at the start of the Golden Age of comics. This is a fantastic piece for any Kirby fan, and would look great framed. The piece also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from The Jack Adler Collection. The cover has amazing rich colors and gloss, and is in fantastic shape, with just some small pinholes near the top (this was common, as pieces were often tacked up to look over). It basically looks new, which is amazing considering its age (more than 50 years old!) and its rarity. This is a great and rare piece that would look fantastic framed, and would be a key piece in any collection. Please note that this is an authentic piece from the 1970's, not something made for a later reprint or collection book. We have been told there are reprint production art pieces being listed by other sellers that make them seem to be old and from original printings, even though they are not (for example, older production art did not have the words on a separate sheet from the images. Those kinds of things were only done much more recently, using computer technology). We advise buyers to be careful, as there are disreputable sellers tricking many people into believing they are purchasing items that are older and more valuable than what they actually are. Some sellers simply do not state their items are from reprints, while others make very long listings and put a tiny mention about reprints buried deep in the listing, and/or use a hard-to-read font color (like yellow) to prevent buyers from seeing this information. Unfortunately, everything else in the listing (the title, pictures of the cover of the comic from the 1st printing, etc.) makes you think you are buying something from an original printing, and ebay has allowed this to continue despite many buyers saying that they have been taken for a ride and ripped off. This item is a genuine piece from the '70's, not something made for a reprint. We clearly differentiate items from original printings and items from reprints, so you can buy with confidence.
