A 15% BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THIS ITEM AT CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION
Paul Gulacy pencils and inks; illustration; undated; image size 10" x 13"Catwoman and Sabertooth: The Last of his Kind. Pen and ink. Art is in excellent condition. Signed by Gulacy.
Sabertooth: The Last of his Kind is the brainchild of John Fulce, created in 1978 after attending the press screening of Star Wars at the 20th Century Fox Studios. John wanted to create a new hero that comic book and movie fans could look up to and appreciate. During the 80s John worked with an agent to arrange a movie deal for Sabertooth. While studios were interested, the project was ultimately put on hold because the studios felt the character did not meet their criteria and John would not compromise his ideas to suit theirs.
During this time John owned and operated one of the top comic shops in southern California, Land of Oohs and Ahs Comics. John was also involved with fundraisers for Muscular Dystrophy, inviting many celebrity guests from the worlds of comics, Hollywood, and martial arts. Many of the guests donated art and other items for the fundraiser auction.
Many of these creators became good friends with John and over the years, they created fantastic artwork featuring Sabertooth and their own favorite characters. He has now decided to let others enjoy this stunning and unique collection of original art.
Now, with the book finished, John is ready to return to Hollywood and finish what he started. Although John's beloved wife passed away in 2022, he and his children are on track and pressing forward with this project.
