Gene Colan Art: Splash page for Howard the Duck #19

I am the owner of Gene Colan's original artwork for the splash page of Howard the Duck #19, "Howard the Human", featuring Howard as a human being. The piece has been matted and framed for approximately 44 years, during which time the fixative used to attach the captions, credits, title, etc. has dried out and those pieces have fallen off. All are present inside the frame, and the piece could be restored using an archival adhesive if desired. The actual comic is also framed with the artwork, which would make restoration fairly easy. I have not done so because I did not know how and did not want to damage the artwork.
