X-Men Graduation Day Matching Storm Production Cel and Background (1997) - ID: jul24043

A matching multi-layer production cel and background setup from the Marvel Studios animated series "X-Men" (1992-1997). Featuring a close-up of Storm as she discusses the fate of Professor Xavier, the hand-painted cel and background were created at the studio and used during the animation process. Both pieces create an actual frame of animation that was photographed and appears in the series finale "Graduation Day," which aired on September 20, 1997. Measuring 10.5"x13" overall, with the character image measuring 6.25"x5.75", the cel and background are in very good condition. The cel displays scratches, minor surface wear, light line fade, and paper transfer to the reverse of the paint from studio storage. The background shows paint transfer on the surface from being stuck to a previous cel layer, including a few areas of missing paint, and minimal edge and corner wear. Also included is a matching production drawing.
