Happy 70th Birthday I Am Legend (26/54) - Stanley Meltzoff Gold Medal cover painting art print on canvas (2014)

Welcome to the bonus I Am Legend post. 

In 2014, I learned that the original Stanley Metzoff cover painting had sold at auction six months earlier. As disappointing as it can be, sometimes it's actually best to find out you missed out on an auction after the fact. While I would have been prepared to pay a pretty penny to add that holy grail to my collection, I definitely couldn't have bested the $37,500 it sold for.

But if you can't have the original, a 15" x 20" one-off reproduction on canvas is a nice (and affordable) consolation. 

The detail in the original painting is awesome — far better than one can appreciate by looking at the reproduction on the book itself. Thankfully, Heritage Auctions (ha.com) posts high resolution images of the items they auction for potential bidders to review. 

Come back next Monday for the next regularly scheduled post from the I Am Legend archive!
