This awesome illustration features the preliminary concept cover to The ClanDestine Preview #1. Written and illustrated by fan-favorite comic creator Alan Davis, ClanDestine was release by Marvel Comics beginning in 1994. Includes on the cover (in the upper left-hand corner where the corner box would go) a hand-written note by Davis to Paul Neary, the series editor.
The prelim measures approximately 8 1/2 by 11 3/4 inches and is drawn on standard copy paper. It in excellent condition and will be shipped with the utmost care. Please note- this is an actual, original piece of art drawn by hand by Alan Davis. It is not a copy, print or pre-printed image. It is a one-of-a-kind original! Please note, the finished cover to the comic is shown for reference (and as can be seen it is very similar to the initial concept). But it is not included with the listing. The listing is for the original artwork only.
Excepting pack-pulled autograph trading cards, CGC Signature Series, signed Sideshow prints, and like collectibles, all autographed items Vault Collectibles sells were personally witnessed, by myself, being signed by the writer, artist, or celebrity in question. No third party is involved. Further, art sketches - and most published original art I sell - were obtained directly from the artist themselves.

As this serves as written proof of said guarantee, no physical documentation will be included in the package when the item is mailed.
