COLOR COVER ART PatBlock CARL BARKS LastStory
Item # 1159988370
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1159988370

Fantastic, fully inked and watercolored cover image intended for the Carl
Barks/Pat Block/John Lustig collaborative effort "Somewhere In Nowhere".
Inked by Walt Disney artist Pat Block from original pencils by Disney
legend Carl Barks. In his final years, Mr. Barks was no longer able to ink,
though the was still creating very nice pencil originals. For the cover to
"SIN" Carl created this cute gag with happy sled dogs chasing Donald's cans
of sardines. It is just a delightfully cute idea, and typical of Carl's
creations. Intended for use as a Gladstone/Disney cover, this piece was not
used in the Italian hardback because of format reasons on this ongoing
series. I'm hoping to perhaps see this image used someday in a future
American comic! In any case, this exceptional art measures 20" by 12" on a
much larger Illustration board which was used by Pat Block as an
advertisement to sell copies of the book at Comic Conventions this spring
and summer. Total board size 30" tall...see my scans. Also included in this
lot are copies of Carl's original pencils for this piece, and a copy of the
wonderful, limited, numbered hardback book. 125 pages, signed by artist Pat
Block with a drawing of Donald. This was Carl Bark's LAST Disney project.
The book was not distributed in the USA, and the story was published in
both English and Italian. Story concieved by Carl, scripted by John Lustig
with art by Pat Block. Edited extensively by Carl Barks, the book is a must
have item for any fan of the great Duck man. The inked original is a gem,
and I have set a reasonable reserve on it. Good luck! I guarantee your
happiness on this lot or your money back!
