Great pages! Especially page 11... that's probably the best early Mary Maria page that we'll see in Valiant.

Excellent choices! :clap: I know I've gushed it before, but I love Mary Maria's expression in page 11, and then the reversal of hers and Archer's expressions on page 14...

It may be blasphemy here, but is it possible Clayton Henry is the BWS of this generation? This guy is unbelieveable.

These are just amazing pages to have in your collection. Congrats, well done sir! :clap:

Are they all strictly pencil? It looks like some of the thicker line work is inked in some areas?
*edit* actually on second look, they are all inked, aren't they - there is just some trace pencil in there that is throwing me off...

Glad you guys (and gal :wink: ) like 'em!
Pages are all done in pencil. The scans are high contrast so they show up OK.
Clayton is definitely one of my new favorite artists.
I love his detailed line work and his range of expressions.

Damn Henry is talented. Sometimes you don't realize exactly how good someone is until you see the originals....wow.

I met Clayton in Chicago during C2E2. Great guy! I got in touch with him afterwards and told him I'd be interested in some art.
When A&A #1 came out he sent me a price list. I was more than pleased to have the opportunity to pick up some pages!
Occasionally you have to go through a dealer but I always like it when I can talk and deal with the artist directly.

Thanks to Dan I was able to pick up a couple pages from Clayton too. I'll post scans once I get them.

Thanks for the tip on these again Dan! Now I need to get my hands on some Harbinger pages next. ;)

I was pleased to look through a big stack of original art pages from Clayton Henry at C2E2 2013.
He had several covers available and a bunch of interiors.
I was on a budget but was able to pick up 2 more pieces to add to my collection.
This one is the last page of issue #4. Featuring Mary Maria.
Archer & Armstrong #4 page 22

While I was flipping through the pages I saw this Sect pencil drawing on the back of a blank sheet.
It wasn't priced but I asked how much and couldn't pass it up. It helped I had bought from him before :)
