Original cover art for The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom #144, Aug. 20, 1976
It's a one-of-a-kind horror piece featuring an astronaut exploring Saturn's moon, Hyperion. It's a pen and brush drawing in India ink on special Craftint (Duo-tone) paper. These chemical shading sheets were used in the past as an alternative to Zip-a-tone by artists such as Wallace Wood and Roy Crane. For the lettering, Maheras opted to used EC-style Leroy lettering. This piece has never been offered for sale online before, and if it does not sell, it may not be offered again - at least not in the near future. You may not get another chance.
