Cobb's pioneering designs appeared in several futuristic films, including Dark Star, Star Wars: A New Hope and Back to the Future. This illustration is rendered in ballpoint pen, colored pencil and oils on backing board by Cobb and features his unique graphic "R. Cobb" signature. It was done at a similar time to Cobb's Famous Alien Astronomer illustration and may have been intended as a companion piece. The reverse side carries a printed invitation to a 1964 music recital. The work is published in Cobb's book Colorvision, known as one of the great titles on film concept art. It is in good overall condition with minor stains and edge wear to the board. Dimensions: 10" x 5" (25.5 cm x 12.75 cm) Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $1,000 - 1,500
