sold by Heike Artworks
Original art to Nexus.#66 page #2 No, it isn't Rude, not at all! It's Mark G. Heike on Nexus!
Piece is a standard original comic art piece 11X17 with an art area of 10X15. Has a "First Comics" stamp in the upper left hand corner in red. Lettering is pasted up, pencilled by Mark G. Heike and mostly inked by Mark himself, except for panel 4 and the profile on panel 3, inked by James "Jimmy" Sanders III.
This is the notorious job where Jimmy toldd the editor (without Mark's knowledge) that "Mark" was his buddy and "wanted" him to ink it, then Jimmy wimped out on the job and Mark had to ink the majority of the issue, in addition to pencilling it and lost the gig..
Read Mark's full account of this fiasco in his own words in this Panel Two book, which will be included with the art!

-----------------
This piece also has a sketch of Marvel's Hulk on the back of the page, done about the same time as the art. Mark says First Comics didn't have pre-printed boards at the time and he drew on a piece of Bristol that already had the drawing on the back of it, because he ran out of new sheets!

is there any schedule or pattern as to what or when you're posting?
I’m scanning it as I get to it. Sorry it’s so random.
Some we don’t have artwork to (Bongo, Calgary Stampede) or sold quickly (various Star Wars series from Dark Horse.)
Mark and I don't do many conventions at all (maybe one or two a year) and even then we don't have ALL the originals at the cons. What you’re seeing here are mostly pages we’ve never had for sale anywhere.
Any possibly allergic substances on your artwork?
We have a cat and we eat peanuts. If you're allergic to cats and/or peanuts, we urge caution! (but our cat does not eat peanuts..)
We don't know for certain about most of the freelance work, but I will mention if the art smells funny. One of the pencillers, Brad Gorby was definitely a smoker but we only have a few items of his work left.
I have a question, 'kay? But I'll email your husband at the office and annoy him about your shop instead of asking you..
Um..yeah, whatevs, dude. Sure, you can annoy Mark and make his day just that much longer and and make the comic books that much later, but that isn't going to make prices any cheaper.
