BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Airboy #51 Variant B Jim Steranko Virgin Sketch Cover
This item is a comic book featuring the Variant B Virgin Sketch cover for Airboy #51, published by Antarctic Press in 2019. The cover features original artwork by legendary artist Jim Steranko, executed in a high-contrast black and white noir style. The composition is a complex collage centered on a woman in a fur-trimmed jacket holding a semi-automatic handgun. The surrounding imagery includes a gothic castle, World War II era fighter planes, armed soldiers with submachine guns, and banners displaying the swastika. The "virgin" designation indicates that the cover is free of trade dress, titles, or logos, showcasing the full artwork. The artist’s signature, STERANKO, is printed vertically along the lower right edge as part of the artwork.
