<B>Michael Kaluta - Private Files of the Shadow Hand-Painted Color Guides (1989).</B></I> This lot includes the hand-painted color guides for all 20 pages of "The Doom Puzzle," a story which originally appeared in the DC <B>Shadow</B></I> comic in 1973. Each page includes an acetate sheet with the black-and-white line art printed on it, and a second sheet with the artwork printed in non-photo blue; these pages have been hand-painted to represent the color behind the line. While there is no actual original art, this is an interesting peek into the production process. The pages are in generally Excellent condition, and measurements range from 9.5" x 13" to 12" x 17". <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.
