Description: Make sure to BOOKMARK OUR EBAY STORE and check out OUR NEWLY LISTED ITEMS This is an original printed production art cover for Superboy #5, which was published in June of 1990 by DC Comics. It is a full color production art cover, with a great image of a "cool" Superboy sporting sunglasses and a leather jacket, with 3 super teens from the future in the background, who are a punk version of the Legion of Super-heroes. There are small printer keys above the cover image, and to the left and right of it. Please note that the two dots near the middle and bottom left corner of the page are not holes. They are printed circles on the page. Also, below the cover image is printed "SUPERBOY #5 JUNE #2544 COV 1" and then at the end, printed on top of each other is (these 4 words are all printed on the same spot, one on top of another) KEY, BLUE, RED, and YELLOW. What's really cool is that each color word is printed in the color it represents (KEY is black). Even though each word is printed on top of another, you can still make each one out. Also, all of the other words in the line ("SUPERBOY #5 JUNE #2544 COV 1") are also quadruple-printed in each color in the same spot, so the letters have a cool multi-colored appearance. The piece does have some handling wear, which is common for production art, as there are some crease lines near the lower left side. The cover featured art by well-known Justice League artist Kevin Maguire (Pencils) and Ty Templeton (inks). Cool piece of comic production art, particularly for any Superboy, Legion, or Maguire fan. Please note that this is an authentic piece from the first printing, not something made for a later reprint or collection book. We have been told there are reprint production art pieces being listed by other sellers that make them seem to be old and from original printings, even though they are not (for example, older production art did not have the words on a separate sheet from the images. Those kinds of things were only done much more recently, using computer technology). We advise buyers to be careful, as there are disreputable sellers tricking many people into believing they are purchasing items that are older and more valuable than what they actually are. Some sellers simply do not state their items are from reprints, while others make very long listings and put a tiny mention about reprints buried deep in the listing, and/or use a hard-to-read font color (like yellow) to prevent buyers from seeing this information. Unfortunately, everything else in the listing (the title, pictures of the cover of the comic from the 1st printing, etc.) makes you think you are buying something from an original printing, and ebay has allowed this to continue despite many buyers saying that they have been taken for a ride and ripped off. This item is a genuine piece from the first print, not something made for a reprint. We clearly differentiate items from original printings and items from reprints, so you can buy with confidence. Payment to be made within 7 days of auction close. International buyers please contact us for terms before bidding.
