Original Art Auction Preview: The Dreaming City (Part 2) Story Page 1
Coming soon to Heritage Auctions!
P. Craig Russell’s original hand-colored art for Epic Illustrated #4, Elric “The Dreaming City” (Part 2)‚ Story Page 1. Originally published by Marvel/Epic in 1980.
From the Heritage listing:
“Wind demons drive Elric of Melniboné toward Imrryr through jagged sea stacks at unnatural speed. The powers peel away, the waters calm, and his trance snaps in a stark final close-up. From Roy Thomas and P. Craig Russell’s adaptation of Michael Moorcock’s Elric saga, one of the best-known US versions after earlier small-press efforts. Marvel later reprinted this material and completed the story with new chapters in Marvel Graphic Novel #2. This opening page is rendered in ink with watercolor over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 10” x 15”. Lightly toned, with discolored production tape in the margins, and tape registration marks in the side margins. Signed by Russell in the bottom margin. In Very Good condition. From the P. Craig Russell Collection.”
