<B>Carmine Infantino and Bob Wiacek - Star Wars #48 Cover Original Art (Marvel, 1981).</B></I> Lightsabre drawn, Darth Vader easily deflects Princess Leia's attack in this spectacular face-off. Marvel's writers were careful not to overexpose Vader in the comic book, preferring to leave kids begging for more. That means that there are relatively few covers in existence that feature the Dark Lord of the Sith. Carmine Infantino is a recognized industry leader at designing captivating covers for comic books, and he also excels at science fiction subjects -- so he was an inspired choice for <B>Star Wars</B></I> cover artist. The art retains its original title logo and type stats, and is in Excellent condition. There are production notes along the borders, well outside of the art area. The image area measures 10" x 15". <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
