**Discover the Extraordinary original Comic Art by Dan Brereton with this Unique piece featuring the X-Force**

Embark on a journey into the spectacular with an exclusive opportunity to acquire a rare gem from the world of comic art. This original piece by acclaimed artist Dan Brereton, created in 1992, immortalizes four iconic figures from Marvel's X-Force: Wolverine, Cable, Domino, and Wolfsbane. Published originally as a promotional poster, this artwork represents not just a collector's item, but a testament to Brereton's artistic genius and his pivotal role in elevating comic book illustration to the realm of fine art.

During its release, this artwork existed in two known versions: one as a standard flyer and the other as a coveted exclusive giveaway at a prominent comic convention. Brereton's distinct style, celebrated by aficionados of comic art, merges classical painting techniques with the dynamic energy of comic book storytelling. His illustrious career spans renowned titles such as "Legends of the World's Finest," "Batman: Thrillkiller," and "Thor: God-Size," showcasing his ability to breathe life into beloved characters across Marvel, DC and independent comics .

What sets this piece apart is its uniqueness within Brereton's body of work. Unlike his vibrant, color-saturated paintings, this artwork captivates in black and white, enhanced with layers of frisket and Gesso. These additions imbue the piece with a texture reminiscent of the iconic Ben-Day dots of early comic prints, akin to the techniques employed by art luminary Roy Lichtenstein. Measuring approximately 13" by 20", it stands as a testament to Brereton's experimental spirit and his dedication to pushing the boundaries of comic artistry.

Dan Brereton's contributions have not gone unnoticed in the industry, as evidenced by his accolades including the prestigious Eisner Award. In 1990, he was honored with the Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer Award, followed by nominations for Best Artist and Best Painter for his groundbreaking works like "Nocturnals: Black Planet" and "Batman: Thrillkiller."

Furthermore, this artwork is set to be featured in an upcoming book that celebrates the highlights of Brereton's prolific career, cementing its status as a pivotal piece in the artist's oeuvre. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this acquisition promises not just a slice of comic history, but an enduring symbol of Dan Brereton's unparalleled talent and lasting impact on the art form we cherish.

**** The week I set up this listing, I spoke with Dan Brereton via email. I’ll be sending him a high quality scan of this artwork before it’s sold in the next few days. He plans to use this in the future book he’s publishing. He confirmed that the artwork was indeed his.

it was penciled and inked by Brereton ... then, to make it pop, frisket and Gesso was used for shading to get that early comic printed affect. It's quite a large piece at 13" by 20".
