RARE MARVEL STUDIOS CONCEPT ART • SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON 2017 EXCLUSIVE • RYAN MEINERDING • CHADWICK BOSEMAN
A fantastic opportunity to own a genuine piece of Marvel Studios history.
For sale is an original 2017 San Diego Comic-Con Black Panther promotional/concept-art print by Ryan Meinerding, Marvel Studios' renowned Head of Visual Development and one of the key artists behind the visual identity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The print has been professionally presented in a substantial custom-made chunky black frame, made specifically to fit the artwork by a local specialist framing company.
This is a superb display piece for any serious Marvel, Black Panther or MCU collection.
The artwork was created by Ryan Meinerding specifically for the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con, ahead of the theatrical release of Black Panther in 2018.
It features:
Meinerding was responsible for much of the visual development work that helped define the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making his convention artwork considerably more interesting to collectors than a standard studio-issued movie poster.
Contemporary coverage from the 2017 Comic-Con confirms that the Black Panther SDCC poster was created by Ryan Meinerding, with the artwork officially unveiled at the convention. Meinerding himself promoted it as his #SDCCexclusive / #SDCC2017 Black Panther artwork.
What makes this particular piece especially collectible today is the timing.
This artwork comes from 2017, when Black Panther was still an upcoming Marvel Studios release and Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa was only beginning to become one of the most iconic characters in the MCU.
Following Chadwick Boseman's tragic death in 2020, original Black Panther material featuring his portrayal of T'Challa has taken on an additional significance for collectors.
This is therefore not simply a Black Panther poster.
It represents a very specific moment in Marvel history — the original Black Panther, the original MCU era and the character before the film had even been released.
The artwork has been mounted and displayed in a high-quality, chunky black frame, custom made specifically for this print.
The frame was professionally produced, rather than being an inexpensive off-the-shelf frame.
The result is a substantial, sophisticated display piece that is ready to hang immediately.
The black frame also works particularly well with the artwork, giving it the appearance of a genuine collector's display rather than a standard poster.
Very good collector condition.
The artwork has been framed and displayed rather than stored loose.
The frame is also in very good condition, although as with any previously displayed framed item there may be some minor signs of handling/use.
Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. Additional photos available on request.
The artwork itself has been protected by the frame and presents extremely well.
