Item Description
10x14-3/8" thick artboard has mixed media original art by prolific and renowned Spanish Marvel Comics cover artist Rafael López Espí. Cover is for the Spanish Motorista Fantasma #3, which reprints Ghost Rider Vol. 2 #52 (featuring the first appearance of the Sirens of Kronos) as well as an original Ghost Rider (Phantom Rider) And Kid Colt story and was published in Spain by Mundi in 1981, ©1980 Marvel Comics Group. Artboard has been hand-painted from edge to edge w/art showing Ghost Rider in the grasp of the Sirens of Kronos (Leucosia, Ligea and Parthenope), slightly differing from Marvel's cover art by Bob Budiansky and Al Milgrom in that Espí's interpretation has removed Ghost Rider's motorcycle from between his legs and has placed struggle in different setting. Art area measures 10.5x10.75". Art has two-piece vellum overlay which has extensive handwritten Spanish text (including title at top) and was once taped to back of artboard (which has since come loose). Back of artboard has handwritten "Motorista Fantasma 3" at top in black felt tip pen. Artboard has some minor corner tip wear but o/w art remains bright, clean and Exc. A wonderful example from the era when Espí's art dominated covers of Spanish Marvel comic books, featuring one of Marvel's most popular characters. Superb and dynamic cover art. Comes w/reading copy of the Spanish comic this cover art was created for.
