I've been cartooning for more than 35 years, but -- for various reasons -- I don't have much of the original artwork that I created.

I've decided to offer for sale some of the art I did manage to hold onto -- starting with some comic book pages from BACK TO THE FUTURE.

I'm also offering some original art from CARtoons, and HOT ROD Cartoons.



BACK TO THE FUTURE Original Art...

With the exception of a dozen pages in the first issue that were inked by Ken Selig, I got to pencil and ink the entire seven-issue run of Back To The Future for Harvey Comics in 1991-92.

My first offering is a package deal -- a 22 page story-- the entire November 1992 issue -- complete except for the original cover art.

It's the second in a three-part series: written by Dwayne McDuffie; I did the art and lettering.


In this issue, Marty McFly, Doc Brown, Clara, Jules, and Verne use the "Time Train" to travel to a weird, distant future.

There, Marty's nemesis, Biff, turns up as "Tannen the Barbarian", a Conan-type adventurer.



The package includes:

The working manuscript with page breakdown notations.

"Preliminary" sketches for most of the pages.

A "rough" for each page.

"Finished" art for each page.

Several preliminary sketches for the cover.

A gag sketch (Biff chopping Marty and Doc into many pieces with his broadsword -- he finally gets the best of them).

A signed copy of the issue.

Instead of penciling and inking at 150-percent as I usually do, I experimented with this issue.
First, I did page breakdowns as usual. Then, a "preliminary" pencil or ink sketch, done same-size (as the final, printed page).

Then I traced over the preliminary sketches-- in more detail -- to get fairly detailed "roughs".

Finally, I traced over the roughs (also same-size as the printed pages) -- in great detail -- to get the "finish" art.
I then sent clean copies of the finishes to the publisher, to be scanned, colored, and printed.

Here are links to samples of what I describe: Page 6 and Page 9

All the art is on translucent paper, approximately 8-1/2" x 11" -- smaller than usual, but well detailed.

Package price: US$2500.

I don't want to break up the package: It will have a special appeal to someone who is interested in seeing the whole production process.
And unless some missing pages from the others in the series magically turn up -- this is the only BTTF issue I have a complete set of pages for.

CONTACT ME for more information.
