Original Art from Phantom Stranger #38 (1975) Story Page 6 Pencils and Inks by Fred Carillo

The final page to this Black Orchid backup story just might reveal the mystery behind the heroine's identity as "Heiress, Race-Car Driver, Stunt Pilot, and member of the international jet set" Ronnie Kuhn dons the Black Orchid's costume. To save you a Google, no, this is not the true identity of the Black Orchid, but who can complain when the art is this gorgeous? Carillo delivers a lush, detailed page with beautiful figure work and great design- especially on that racing suit. Pencil and ink on art board. 10 1/2" x 16". NOTE: A portion of the dialogue in the third panel is pasted in and affixed with tape on the front and clue on back.

Pencil and ink on art board. 10 1/2" x 16".

Original Art from Powers #26 (2002) Page 17 Pencils and Inks by Michael Avon Oeming

A dead hero, a perverse sex tape, a former superteam now bitterly feuding- it's the perfect recipe for a case that only Detectives Pilgrim and Walker could handle! Here we see Pilgrim and Walker alongside NYPD Detective Mack attempting to interview former Unity member Ultrabright who has the power to compel men to do her bidding. After Pilgrim makes a crack about her aging body, Ultrabright powers up and suits up and tells the investigators to kick rocks. Signed by Oeming in the second panel.
