Neal Adams - Original Cover Art for Deadly Hand
Neal Adams - Original Cover Art for Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu #2 (Marvel, 1974). Back when everyone was "kung-fu crazy" as a result of the hit television series starring David Carradine, Marvel's mighty magazine, Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu, was on a lot of reading lists! The distinctive cover to issue #2, drawn by Neal Adams, is our offering in this lot. This fantastic piece is sure to generate intense bidding, as it has been "off the market" in private hands for many years now. Despite the Overstreet claim that this is a "painted" cover, it is actually inked and colored (by an unidentified colorist -- perhaps Adams himself) in the tradition of Adams' famous superhero art. It is truly a powerful illustration, with trademark Adams action in every brushstroke. It's a large signed piece, measuring approximately 14.5" x 23", and is in excellent condition. And as before, it's likely to wind up in a private collection, with little chance of re-entering the market anytime soon. Make sure your collection becomes its next home! 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.
