Original art is unique - for any given page of any given comic book, there is only one page that the artist drew. The phrase “original art” may encompass any of the following:

• Bristol board containing the artist’s pencil and inks. The pencils are typically done in non-reproducing blue with black ink over. Often, corrections (such as with White-out) can be seen, as well as production directives in the margins. This work is now now done electronically by most shops and more recent original art pieces have only the artwork.
• Proofs used in production. These are often paste-ups of photocopies, titles, etc. used in the final camera-ready copy. There is often little or no actual drawing on these pages. These are considerably less valuable than the actual original art, but can still command high prices for desirable pieces. For example, in May 2007, the production proof for X-Men #4, feature Jack Kirby art, listed for $1,500.
• Color proofs. These are production proofs used by the colorist to correct colors.
• Sketches and commissions. For example, comic book artists often appear at conventions and do sketches for fans, or accept commissions to produce pinups or other artwork. These are not directly related to the production of finished comic books, but are often referred to as “original art” regardless.

Original art is unsigned by the artist at the time of use in production, but may be later signed by the artist when selling it. Autographs and signed comics are not generally considered original art.

Originally, comic book companies did not return original art to the artists. The dispute between Marvel Comics and Jack Kirby led eventually to artists’ right to have their artwork returned and it is now common to see artists selling their pages.
