DESCRIPTION

beautiful mixed media cover from Neil Gaiman's 'The Golden Age'
From 'Winter's Tale', part four of Neil Gaiman's Miracleman: The Golden Age comes this spectacular cover by Dave McKean from a very fertile and creative portion of his career. Expertly crafted by combing three elements to create the final product, the top and bottom sections are original paintings while the center section is a color copy, the three elements were stitched together with gold thread (which was the unifying characteristic in all six of McKean's cover to The Golden Age). The cover features Winter Moran, super powered daughter of Miracleman and Liz Moran, who is featured in the issue. Dave McKean is Neil Gaiman's most frequent collaborator, most notably providing the covers to every issue of Gaiman's Sandman, they have continued to work together in various capacities throughout both of their remarkable careers. Mixed media. Art is in excellent condition. Professionally framed in a gold frame adorned with cherubs.
Artist Information
Mckean an illustrator and painter most well known for his collaborations with Neil Gaiman, providing the covers to every issue of Gaiman's Sandman including collections and spin-offs, he also illustrated Gaiman's Black Orchid, Violent Cases, and Signal to Noise amongst others. He also painted the classic Grant Morrison Batman book Arkham Asylum. McKean's modern approach to painting, using abstraction and collage was part of the artistic boom of the late 1980s that included Bill Sienkiewicz, Kent Williams, and Jon Muth changing the idea of what mainstream comic book looked like. McKean would go on to produce his own work with Cages along with numerous short stories. He also works in film, providing concept design to the Harry Potter series and directing the movie Mirrormask, which was written by Gaiman.
