UNSEEN SHADOWS - Jim Steranko (Supergraphics, 1978) This scarce book details Steranko's multi-year odyssey to illustrate the 27 different painted covers that he created for the Shadow paperback series between 1975 and 1978. Completely written, designed, illustrated and published by Steranko in 1978. This is a seldom seen gem. Unseen Shadows contains 50 pages of pencilled prelims for each cover, some paintings have multiple prelims. Not reprinted in any other volume! A beautiful book for a fan of Steranko's amazing Shadow paintings. Full color covers with b&w interiors. Includes text by Jim about the Shadow paperback paintings... didn't include photos of the text pages here. Cardstock cover with tanning on inside of cover (typical of this book due to paper quality). Pages are in excellent condition and are not tanned at all. Only the slightest edge wear. Cover colors are beautiful. VFNM condition. Killer book! No longer for sale takes it. No probies, listers, hobos, malcontents or carpetbaggers

This particular copy is in excellent condition: no tears, no writing, bright white pages and bright red color cover.

If you want to see what the rest of the inside looks like, PM me and I can provide some images. Black bars added by me to preserve sanity!

I agree with this. As much as I'd like to display original art, light is the enemy. Cheaper prints, no problem. Photographs, illustrations, lithographs, etc., they stay in the dark.

You stated, "Seriously though, i'd rather have my art safely behind museum glass than rubbing up on some polypropylene plastic sleeve. That's not how fine art is archived."

We are discussing framing... and about assumptions regarding framing materials.

Have you tested the UV glass and your acid-free mattes? And have you tested it after time passes? Museums do. I don't care how you store art that you own. However, materials stated to be acid-free or packaging states that museums use it doesn't make it so.

Instead of inert mylar, you're ok with mattes touching the front and back of the page in the frame? Are you positive about the acid content of the mattes? How about the mounts that are used to hold the page in place? As far as I know, UV resistant glass doesn't block 100% of the UV spectrum.

SOLD! Thank you!
