Description

BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! This is an original multi-layer comic book cover production proof set for Mutatis Issue 1, published by Epic Comics in 1992. The dynamic cover art is by Colin MacNeil, featuring a painted sci-fi composition with vibrant purple, magenta, yellow, and deep shadow tones. The set is constructed using the traditional color separation proofing method, consisting of a white cardstock base layer printed with the yellow color channel and multiple overlying clear acetate sheets printed with the remaining color channels and black line work. The vertical number 52 is printed in the left margin of the white base sheet. The artist signature is visible in a stylized red script in the lower right corner of the composition.

Dimensions: Not specified.


Condition report:

The proof set is in good overall condition. The cardstock base shows light edge wear and minor corner softening. The clear acetate overlay sheets show light surface scuffing and minor rippling, consistent with age and production handling. There are no major tears, creases, or severe discoloration present on the artwork.
