Late in 1999, Universal Studios of Central Florida began to wind #1 down a five-year investment of transforming Orlando into one of the country's leading centers for television and film production. Though in previous years production groups regularly processed material in town to avoid the high union wages of the west coast, both at Universal and MGM Studios, high players like Viacom pulled out...taking with them the syndicated likes of Sea Quest, Super Force, Swamp Thing, Super Boy... assorted Wrestling and Roller Derby programs...a live action Tarzan show... To this day, investors and producers remain in courts trying to sort out the mess. This sericel...and others like it... are prototypes for a product intended to be sold in a number of galleries and shops. No contracts were finalized.
Together again...Hawkman and Adam Strange to the rescue!

The line art is printed on an acetate sheet...it is hand painted on the back to render the printed inks opaque. The background an original airbrush painting rendered on a quality card stock.......the final effect is the stunning 3-D quality of an original animation sericel.... This art is in near mint condition and is matted in white with a cardboard backing. A plastic sleeve covering is included. The artwork viewing area is 8.5 by 11 inches. The mat is larger at 11 by 14 inches.
