About the item:

This approximately 8 1/4 by 11 1/2 inch preliminary sketch is in excellent condition and will be shipped with the utmost care.  It features the work Barry Kitson from The Titans #38 from April of 2002 and is his initial preliminary layout sketch for the page.  Please note- the sketch is real.  It is not a copy, print or pre-printed image.  It is a one-of-a-kind original and is signed by Kitson.  It is drawn on rice (tracing) paper.  The cover to the comic as well as the finished page as it appears in the published comic is shown for reference but are not included in with the listing.  The listing is for the preliminary piece of art only. 



Certificate of Authenticity/Provenance: 

Excepting pack-pulled autograph trading cards, CGC Signature Series, signed Sideshow prints, and like collectibles, all autographed items Vault Collectibles sells were personally witnessed, by myself, being signed by the writer, artist, or celebrity in question.  No third party is involved.  Further, art sketches - and most published original art I sell - were obtained directly from the artist themselves.  


For buyers desiring this guarantee in written form, this statement guarantees that the above-referenced item is as stated in the listing description.  A screen capture of the completed auction page, which includes this statement of provenance, may be saved by the buyer as a digital file or print off in hardcopy form.  As this serves as written proof of said guarantee, no physical documentation will be included in the package when the item is mailed.
