Calling all SUPERCAR fans! Back in the early '60s, GOLD KEY published four Supercar comics. Last year, artist Evi De Vie re-created the cover of issue #2 as a limited-edition print, all of which I suspect are now long gone. However, he recently signed fifty 16 x 20 proofs - so check out the following link for details of how to obtain one.
(Link now obsolete.)
Here's the official spiel:
FULL BOOST VERTICAL! Gold Key's Supercar comic from the 1960's featured beautiful painted covers featuring the Black Rock labs crew in adventurous or dangerous settings.
Now, artist Evi De Vie has recreated the cover to issue two, featuring Supercar and crew flying over a nuclear submarine surfacing in the Antarctic! Our highest quality giclee prints on heavy duty, acid-free archival paper accurately recreate the original painting in every way.
Evi De Vie is an American illustrator, and one of the original designers for the Lunar Models. Lunar Models was the original American sci-fi garage kit company and De Vie worked on many of the company's models. He has been a fan of the Anderson's Supermarionation and live-action shows since childhood.
This unique reproduction is the result of many painstaking hours of work and the result is stunning. Supercar majestically passes above the ice floe as the men below wave. In the cockpit, Mike, Professor Popkiss, Jimmy and Mitch look down at the scene. Evocative of the best comic art of the 1960's, this print is a must-have item any Anderson collection.
