Item Description
11-5/8x16" artboard has mixed media original art by comic artist J.L. Blume, known for his cover work on Spanish comic books starring The Phantom. Cover is for the Spanish edition of "El Hombre Enmascarado" #27, which was published in Spain by Valenciana as part of their Del Colosos Comic line in 1981. Artboard has image area measuring 10.25x14-1/8" showing art for "Crash Landing" cover story, w/The Phantom lifting an Easter Island style head while an octopus looms in the background. Both elements are in the story. Signed Blume. Bottom margin has handwritten "No. 27" designation. Back has the artist's inkstamp. Art has worn vellum overlay w/tape staining at top (w/corresponding tape staining on back of artboard at top, does not show on front) which has since come loose. Artboard exhibits corner creasing and some faint paint bleed at edges. Art remains bright, clean and could easily be matted and framed for an Exc. display. Unique. Cover and contents were exclusive to the Spanish market and saw no US counterpart. Comes w/reading copy of the comic this cover art was created for.
