Original Painted Cover Production Art

The Punisher 2099 #25 (Marvel Comics, 1995)

Offered here is the original hand-painted production artwork created for the cover of The Punisher 2099 #25, published by Marvel Comics.

Created by acclaimed artist Simon Coleby, this impressive production piece consists of the original painted color artwork accompanied by its original blackline stat overlay, the combination used during the comic's prepress production to create the published cover.

The finished published comic cover is included in the gallery for comparison.


Original Production Artwork

Unlike traditional comic cover originals drawn entirely in ink, many comic covers during the 1990s were produced using a combination of:

  • Hand-painted color artwork
  • Blackline stat overlays
  • Mechanical production assembly

The painted artwork supplied the final color information, while the transparent blackline overlay preserved the crisp line work used for printing.

This original retains both elements, offering a fascinating look at Marvel's production process during the era.

Simon Coleby

Simon Coleby is an internationally recognized comic artist whose work has appeared for Marvel, DC Comics, 2000 AD, Judge Dredd, The Authority, Batman, The Royals, and numerous other major titles. His dynamic, heavily rendered style became especially recognizable throughout the 1990s and continues to make his original artwork highly collectible.


Why This Piece Matters

Production-painted covers occupy a unique place in comic art collecting. Unlike published comic pages, these works reveal the complete prepress process used before digital coloring became standard throughout the industry.

The inclusion of both the original hand-painted color guide and the registered blackline stat overlay makes this a museum-quality production artifact documenting how Marvel produced many of its painted covers during the mid-1990s.

Whether displayed with or without the overlay, this artwork presents an exceptional opportunity to own the original production art behind one of Punisher 2099's most memorable covers.
