Description

This dramatic double-page spread from Martha Washington Saves the World #3 (1998) represents a key collaboration between two titans of modern comics — Dave Gibbons, co-creator of Watchmen, and Frank Miller, the visionary writer of The Dark Knight Returns and Sin City.

The Martha Washington saga stands among the most ambitious creator-owned projects of the 1990s, merging political satire with a futuristic vision of America and a strong female protagonist. This opening spread exemplifies Gibbons’ architectural precision and mastery of black-and-white contrast, while carrying Miller’s characteristic tone of grand, ironic heroism.

Double Splash Page 2-3 Original Art (Dark Horse, 1998). A fantastic view of Mother Earth from the heavens, as Martha Washington returns to the planet of her birth. Created in ink over blue pencil on a single Bristol board with an image area of 20.25" x 15.75". There are two small tears on the right edge (but not into the image area). In Excellent condition.
