J.Sid Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 For what it's worth, the Gallery Edition includes all pages from issue #1 except: p14-15 (dps,) p21 and p48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time he did this raw aggressive style. I remember getting the call to inquire if I wanted to buy a page from this issue, and having a choice of most pages still available. Wish I bought more, but alas I was still in training with (relatively) limited funds. Was this when Spencer was selling a big pile of pages Hari? I think that was around 2004 or 2005? I bought 6 pages then. Should have bought them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does only half of a book get stolen? And I'm wondering what's the point of bringing all this up 15 years later after a Graphitti Edition, no police report and silence from the Miller/Varley camp? Seriously, these pages went quickly to true fans of the work - folks who would have more than likely gladly given it back to Frank if he asked. Or is this more a statement aimed at Spencer? Honestly, inquiring minds want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stinkininkin Posted February 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2018 Speaking of Frank Miller's Ronin, I just got back this page from professional conservator/restorer Gordan Christman to have this first panel reattached after the rubber cement had failed with age and fallen off. Rather than go with an overlay, I had him attach the panel with a ph neutral reversible hinge. There was the rejected first inked version underneath the final panel that I wanted to be able to easily view, and now I can. Very pleased with the results and am enjoying the 2 for 1 "bonus" art on that first panel! RabidFerret, J.Sid, SquareChaos and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Sid Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Love it! I've got a page with a patch like that which I've been slowly trying to loosen for the last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. And I've got a splash where the entire splash image is on loosely glued duotone board and underneath on the bristol itself is the original pencils...the whole splash could be hinged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
▫️ Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 That is very nicely done and a perfect way to present both the original and redrawn art. I wonder if I would have had the glue removed (if possible) but having it there is still part of the process which is very cool to see. Thanks for sharing that, we all just got to see some Ronin art for the first time. Like watching a Directors Cut of your favorite 80s movie.

Thanks for sharing that, we all just got to see some Ronin art for the first time. Like watching a Directors Cut of your favorite 80s movie. Removing the glue stains would require a much more complicated and expensive process. What you suggest is not crazy, but this less invasive approach I took is more than enough for me.

If it was on a well known dealer site, I would not have reservations about it. I’m just not an ebayer anymore. I bought a high-dollar page from her a couple years ago. She is legit.
