Description
24x36x1.5"Comic collage of the most iconic Superman of them all, Christopher Reeve! Made using only old Superman and Adventures of Superman comics from the early to late 1980's. Foreground image design was originally penned by the amazingly gracious and talented epyon5 on DeviantArt, check out his work at:
epyon5.deviantart.com/
Everything you see is comic book. No marker, paint, ink, or alternate paper. Just comic books and glue. Most original pieces take approx. 100-250 hours to complete

Hi!
I revealed the photo to the world many years ago, and own the only known original, uncropped print. The photo was shot on the Pinewood Studios set in October 1977 by David Farrell. Here is the photo as it appears on my website, capedwonder.com: www.capedwonder.com/wp-content…
So you literally use actual comic book paper pages to create this? No computer, no scanning, etc.? I am intrigued by your process and would love to see a photo shot from one side to see the "3D" layers of paper.
Could you please let me know the price to commission the same size as this one, using the same photo of Christopher Reeve, but with Gary Frank comic book pages from his series, Secret Origins, where he draws Superman like Christopher Reeve?
My email is capedwonder.editor@gmail.com.
Thanks so much!
Jim

Sounds Great! I'll send you an email with some other info and photos quite soon!

I even have a time-lapse video of one original canvas from start to finish at www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIo3fN…

Fantastic work! Congratulations!!!!
The original source image of Christopher Reeve came from my website, capedwonder.com, where we celebrate the legacy of Christopher Reeve.
Do you sell these?
Thanks!

Oh cool! Did you take the photo/do you know who did? I thought it was just a common publicity/stock photo that he used to base the graffiti template from. Let me know and I can give credit on here.
And I do! The original hasn't been delivered to it's new owner yet, and I don't sell giclees until the person who commissioned the original piece has theirs in hand. It should be up in the next week or two though! at www.etsy.com/shop/ComicReliefOriginals
