I think that might actually be the title of the piece!

Grabbed a few Archer & Armstrong #4 pages from Clayton Henry when I was buying a seperate cover a few weeks back. Still can't share that one yet , so here are these to fill the gap. One thing I really like about this new cover is that it is also inked by Clayton but DAMN are his pencils ever TIGHT !

Archer & Armstrong #4 page 17

Ivar explaining to Archer that he is the only one who can stop The Boon.

Archer & Armstrong #4 page 18


Ivar showing Archer how to stop The Boon.

Archer & Armstrong #4 page 20

Archer and Armstrong accidentally killing the Geomancer.

Archer & Armstrong #4 page 21

First Book of the Geomancer page. Interesting to see how the Geomancer design was refined before the story was published.

Hi. My name is DBS, and sometimes I collect art.

Art like Cary Nord's original cover for X-O Manowar #11!

Two great covers! I especially like that Segovia cover. I've got a cover of his on the way as well that somehow has taken a USPS detour from California to Chicago on it's way to Seattle (I hope). They must know something I don't know about geography.

Stephen Segovia really is killing it. After selling LaRosa's cover for Ninjak #1, I needed a (comparable) replacement. For me that would be either Suayan's Unity #5, or Segovia's Ninjak #7. I own (and have owned) some stunning X-O covers, but this Segovia cover is simply ridiculous and demanded an offer to buy.

Just scored my last OA buy of the year, and it's a BIG one! Might need to sell a cover (or two) now to cover the unexpected cost, but I'm waiting for the actual high-res scan before I post.

I'll give a hint though; it looks sort of like this:

It was never available for sale.

Apparently, Lewis LaRosa's scanner was broke, so he drove it to colorist Brian Reber's place an hour down the road so it could be colored before the publishing deadline. Lewis left it there, and there is remained ever since.

Last week I spoke with both Lewis and Brian about it, and today Lewis contacted me and made it available. I exhausted my funds on the Nord and Segovia covers yesterday, so I had to make some quick sales for Divinity, because there was NO WAY IN HELL I was going to miss out on this art!

DBS, you are going to have one hell of a wall display! These are super iconic covers. Great job on those scores.
