About the Creators: Dale Keown & Steve Oliff:

This page represents a powerhouse collaboration from the 1990s image Comics era. Dale Keown, renowned for his historic, definitive run on The Incredible Hulk with Peter David, channeled his mastery of muscular anatomy, intense facial expressions, and dynamic sci-fi action into creating Pitt in 1993. His signature detailed hatching and high-octane pencils are perfectly captured in this production page.

Complementing Keown's linework is Steve Oliff, a pioneer who revolutionized the comic industry by introducing computer-aided coloring via his company, Olyoptics. For Pitt, Oliff blended traditional guide methodologies with cutting-edge separation techniques to give the book its iconic, gritty, and atmospheric depth.

New Note on Shipping

It seems eBay is taking a percentage of all shipping I charge you, and then PayPal takes their percentage. Having said this, I have found I am losing between $0.50 cents to $1.50 on every package I send out. This is wrong of them, but it means I have to add a "handling charge" to all packages I mail out. Please complain to eBay for all us small sellers. This is not right, but I can't afford to lose $15.00 to $25.00 average a week. There will be a $1 (US) and $2 (Foreign) handling charge to all packages.

Note on International Shipping

I cannot put proof of delivery on packages out of the United States. If you want to have the package tracked, add $30.00 to shipping, or you accept (by bidding) that the US Customs label is acceptable as proof of delivery. If not, I am sorry, I cannot be responsible for lost or delayed packages. I can only prove I mailed it. Sometimes your country's Customs takes a long time to clear.
