Description A true one-of-a-kind piece for any X-Men or Storm collector. This X-Men '97 #1 Marvel Animation Variant features a partial blank cover fully hand-painted by artist Esteban Salinas, bringing Storm to life in an original painted piece rather than a print or reproduction. Salinas signed, sketched, and marked this cover "1/1" directly on the art, and CGC has encapsulated and certified it as part of their Signature Series, locking in both the artwork and the authentication. Story by Steve Foxe, interior art by Salva Espin. Since this is a one-of-a-kind original painting, no other copy like it exists. A must-have for Storm fans, X-Men '97 collectors, or anyone chasing unique CGC Signature Series sketch art.
