John Bolton – Epic Illustrated #10 “Marada the She-Wolf” Title Page Original Art, 1982
John Bolton – Epic Illustrated #10 “Marada the She-Wolf” Title Page Original Art, 1982
Year: 1982
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Published: Epic Illustrated #10, February 1982
Writer: Chris Claremont
Artist: John Bolton
Medium: Ink and wash on paper
Image Size: 10.5 × 15 inches (26.7 × 38.1 cm)
Original opening title page from Chris Claremont and John Bolton’s first Marada the She-Wolf story. Published unlettered artwork was supplemented with the title and text during production.
The artwork has had multiple confirmed published appearances:
Epic Illustrated #10 — Marvel, February 1982 — original publication.
Epic #5 — Condor, Germany
Epic #6 — Arédit-Artima, France, August 1984
Marvel Graphic Novel #21: Marada the She-Wolf — Marvel, 1985/86 — the story was reworked, colored and collected as “The Shattered Sword.”
Marada die Wölfin #1 — Splitter, Germany, 1986
X9 Spesial #12/1994 — Semic, Norway, December 1994.
Marada the She-Wolf — Titan Comics, 2013
The 1985/86 Marvel Graphic Novel publication is particularly important because Bolton’s original black-and-white/gray-wash Epic artwork was subsequently presented in color and the first two installments were combined under the title “The Shattered Sword.”
The page was published yet again in Titan’s 2013 definitive Marada the She-Wolf collection, which brought together all three Marada stories with restored artwork and additional material.
Artist: John Bolton
John Bolton is a celebrated comic and fantasy artist known for Marada the She-Wolf, Black Dragon, X-Men, The Books of Magic, The Evil Dead and Army of Darkness. His incredible detail, compositions and talent make him one of the most distinctive British artists to work in American comics.
