OF THE EARTH #1 — ORIGINAL COVER ART BY DALE ALTMANN

Own the moment where it all began.

This is the one and only original cover artwork for Of the Earth #1, illustrated by acclaimed artist Dale Altmann—the piece that defined the tone, atmosphere, and identity of the entire project.

Every line, every shadow, every raw detail was crafted by hand using Sumi ink, giving the piece a rich, organic depth that simply cannot be replicated. This is not just artwork—it’s the foundation of the book itself.

This isn’t a print.
This isn’t a reproduction.
This is the actual published cover art.

The exact piece used to bring Of the Earth to life—capturing its haunting, grounded energy and setting the stage for everything that follows.

For serious collectors, original art is the closest connection to the creative process. You’re not just owning an image—you’re owning the moment of creation. The decisions, the revisions, the artist’s touch… all preserved in a single, irreplaceable piece.

Why This Matters

Original cover art sits at the very top of comic collecting. It’s the centerpiece—the kind of piece that defines a collection.

Pages can be found. Variants can be chased.
But cover art is singular.

Once it leaves your hands, there is no getting it back.
