The Fifty - Bryan Talbot commission Dr. Strange, Dimensional Traveler

Bryan Talbot Dr.Strange commission 11x17

This wonderful Bryan Talbot commission was obtained in 2008 when Bryan came over to the US for a convention in NY. This was a really odd show, Bryan and David Lloyd were stuck in a corner at the show and virtually ignored despite having been brought over as special guests from England. When I had seen Bryan listed for the show a fe wmonths earlier I inquired about a commission. I ended up getting quite a few pieces that day from Bryan - I pre-arranged this piece and a single figure commission of Desire of the Endless (which sold in the last Comic Link auction for far less than $200 unfortunately) and then got convention sketches of Destruction and dream and bought some art from Alice In Sunderland. Only Dream and this piece remain.

I have made frequent requests for Ditko-esque dimensional scenes when commissioning art, but so far only a few guys have taken the challenge. Neil Vokes did a great one but Bryan Talbot really went above and beyond with this piece. It is 11x17 and is packed full of interdimensional delight. Dormammu lurking just beyond the veil is a wonderful addition too. I was blown away when bryan gave this to me in 2008 and remain awestruck to this day. I am proud to own such a groovy piece of comic art. Thanks to the original inspiration, Steve Ditko, and to Bryan Talbot for this wonderful rendition.
