Charles Vess - Original Cover Art for Books of Magic: Bindings (DC, 1995). This stunning cover features Neil Gaiman's Death and Fairy Queen Titania from his Sandman and Death comics, as well as series star Tim Hunter. Charles Vess is unquestionably one of the finest watercolorists around. Watercolor is considered by many artists to be the most difficult medium to use, but Vess executes his illustrations with a skill that belies the stated difficulty. He details his watercolors with ink to produce a clean, brightly colored image appealing to both the comic book and fine art collector alike. The black background wash further intensifies the colors, making the image panels appear to hover like windows in space. This wonderful work of art measures approximately 15" x 22", with an approximate image area of 14" x 17.5". The savvy investor won't pass up the chance to own this painting. Important notice: 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.
