In Marvelman 's collection
Description
This is the original artwork for a page from the graphic novel, I Am Coyote (Eclipse, 1984). Art by Marshall Rogers. Ink over pencil, and mixed media on sturdy Bristol board.
One hell of a page, with Coyote being stalked by a horrific fiend! Rogers is firing on all cylinders here with some wonderful use of craft tint to 'flesh out' the horror pursuing our hero.
The landscape at the top, the woman's shorts, and the pile of overalls in panel 1 are all photo stats trimmed and pasted-on. Upper and center dialogue balloons in the panels are paste-ons, while the lower ones are hand-drawn on the board.
Huge poster-sized art at 14 1/2" x 21", with the artwork measuring 13 3/4" x 18".
