Aye, yes I did!
Good eye, grendeljd. The art is on 9x12 boards. Image area about about 21x11 all together.
The center piece was done initially. They liked it and requested the left and right be added to make it a triple gatefold.

Huh - so the drawing is nearly at actual size of publication... not much reduction. Wow, I wouldn't have thought that. Still, it looks fantastic :thumb:

I had no idea how expensive this year was going to be for me for art and comics.
The good news is I sell art and comics to keep buying more!

That's an incredible piece man. I'm glad that it's in your top tier collection. :)

I would trade all of the variants, gold foils, etc over the last twenty years for an era of regular comics with the occasional gatefold cover that highlights an amazing piece of art.

I love Jim Lee's X-Men #1 Deluxe Edition (that should've been the only book released of that issue), H.A.R.D. Corps #1, and Spider-Man #23, Amazing Spider-Man... umm the Bagley Issue that I think wrapped up the Round Robin arc. Gatefolds are attractions highlighting real artwork instead of a gimmick that makes the book shiny.
