About the item:

In excellent and unused condition, this 5 by 7 inch promotional post card was given out at the 2017 San Diego Comic Con and is signed by hand by the artist, Mark Sparacio.  It promotes the upcoming creator-owned graphic novel Chelsea Dagger.  Please note- the signature is real. It is the actual, hand-signed signature of Sparacio. It is not a pre-printed image on the post card.  


About the Artist:


Mark Sparacio studied sequential art for three years under the legendary Will Eisner at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. His first published art was the movie poster for the United Artist film, “The Draughtsman’s Contract.” After the advertising industry illustration market collapsed, Sparacio moved on from commercial freelance work to comics- his first love. His list of credits include covers for Alpha-Omega’s “Spirit” comic book, Billy Tucci’s “Shi”, DC’s “Green Lantern”, the convention program for the 2006 Motor City Comic Con featuring Batgirl and Catwoman, the CBG, Alter Ego, and the Overstreet Price Guide. He has done paintings for card sets for UpperDeck /DC comics and Topps’ “Wacky Packages” and “Garbage Pail Kids”. Sparacio will be penciling the upcoming title “Liberty Girl” for Heroic Publishing as well as Ken Lillie-Paetz’ “Elsinore” for Devil’s Due Publishing.
