About the item: Featuring the pencils and inks of Andy Price, this piece of original art is the cover to IDW?s one-shot Star Trek: Ferengi. It features Quark and his mother Ishka (Moogie), and the issue was released in April of 2022. A charming tribute to the original DS9 series characters, Quark (not entirely resigned to his mother?s ambitions) sits atop a case of self-sealing stembolts with his protest sign in hand. The cover measures 11 1/4 by 17 inches, is in excellent condition and will be shipped with the utmost care. Please note- this is the original cover drawn by hand by Price. It is not a copy, print, or pre-printed image. It is a one-of-a-kind original. Best of all, it is signed by hand by Armin Shimerman himself (at his 2023 Fanboy Expo Knoxville appearance). Also shown for reference but not included with the purchase is the finished, colored cover. The purchase is for the original artwork only. ~Certificate of Authenticity/Provenance: Excepting pack-pulled autograph trading cards, CGC Signature Series, signed Sideshow prints, and like collectibles, all autographed items Vault Collectibles sells were personally witnessed, by myself, being signed by the writer, artist, or celebrity in question.
