AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Jean-Yves Mitton, the Silver Surfer, superb original board No. 3 from the story 'The Narrow Gate,' a legendary tale published in 'Nova' starting from issue 25, released on February 10, 1980, by LUG editions.

The drawing demonstrates Mitton's dynamism and graphic mastery, blending elegance of line with dramatic power.

The panoramic opening panel, a true centerpiece, unfolds a bustling cosmic space: a dense play of inks, deep contrasts, and a fluid composition create a vibrant astral setting where the vision of the Surfer is projected. The stellar textures, rendered through nervous pointillism and intense blacks, accentuate the mythic dimension of the character.

Each frame reveals the meaning of movement and the anatomy unique to Mitton: tense silhouettes, expressive attitudes, volumes sculpted by precise inking. The alternation between cosmic wide shots and emotional close-ups enhances the narrative tension.

A strongly rhythmic board, both lyrical and powerful, that fully illustrates Mitton's virtuosity in his interpretation of the Silver Surfer.

Technique: Indian ink
Dimensions of the support: 42x29.5cm
Dimensions of the drawn part: 38x24cm
Signed: Yes, in the last box.

Careful delivery via UPS.
