Crisis Pages Are Full Of Comic Greatness Border To Border
"George Pérez and Jerry Ordway Crisis on Infinite Earths #6 Splash Page 1 Anti-Monitor and the Flash Original Art (DC, 1985). This page gave readers their first full-figure image of the Anti-Monitor! It is also an amazing page as it featured three of the key characters from the series. The Anti-Monitor was just revealed as the true bad-guy of the story, and he was using the Psycho-Pirate to control the heroes of entire Earths. The Flash (Barry Allen) was one of the heroes who would make the ultimate sacrifice to stop the Anti-Monitor. The splash page was created in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 10" x 15". Slightly toned; title, credits, indicia, and text paste-ups. Production corner and top edge trimming, blue pencil editorial markings, and a spot stain in the indicia. Signed by Pérez in the bottom margin and in Very Good condition."
