    Default Original BotCon 97 Comic artwork on ebay

    From one of the Hartman Brothers (who founded BotCon, and now have the Hall of Fame award named after them), several BotCon items have recently been listed, including original pages of inked artwork for their 1997 comic (Ground Zero).
    Their store page can be found here for other BotCon items, but these are links to some of the comic pages:
    Page 2
    Page 5
    Page 6
    Page 7
    Page 9
    Page 10
    Page 11
    Page 12
    Page 13
    Page 15

    This is the original pencil and ink artwork of... the BotCon 1997 comic, "Ground Zero." The comic was pencilled and inked by veteran Transformers artist Andrew Wildman, and was the first licensed comic in the Beast Wars universe. The artwork measures 11-5/8" x 16-1/2" and is on good-quality poster board. The inset image in the bottom left corner shows how the final rendering of the page looked in the comic, and is not present on the actual item you will receive.
    If you are interested in buying - Note that they are on poster board, so would be have to be mailed out in a large (expensive) mailer.
    For the rest of us, this might be the only time we'll see this original artwork before it is sold.

    I own pages 3, 4, 8 and 14, so it looks like they have all the rest up to 15. They really are beautiful pieces and well worth the $30 plus shipping the Hartmans have them up for - Baskerville's inks still look amazing, dark and crisp fifteen years later.

    You not going for the rest? Too much money, or too much of the one issue?

    Although it would be great to have the full run of pages, it might be too much of a good thing, I'm in negative amounts of money at the moment. I'm not even sure what I'd do with them all unless I one day live in a house with enough wallspace to tell the story like the Bayeux Tapestry.

    Some awesome artwork indeed; unfortunately though none really "Pop-out" to me, the scenes featuring Antagony(?) are sort of tempting though.
