Well it took quite some time but I was finally able to add the Adam Bomb Color Rough to my collection. Before deciding to make this purchase I talked with Mr. Pound via email. I was curious why it was so different from other color roughs. This is what he had to say about this piece: Hi Adam,
Thanks for writing, and for the pictures. I was wondering what happened to the Adam Bomb color rough. (Many collectors have asked if this is still available, but I say no, it was the first to go. Little did I realize how popular it would be.) From your various photos that appears to be the real thing, with the right date of purchase and details.
I did the Series One GPKs with a less structured process than I used on all my later GPKs. So, the varied pencils on that page I would call layout sketches (or thumbnail poses). I did several, trying to get the feel for the best pose and figure details.
I did a tight pencil artwork on the same bristol board paper as I did my final art painting, so a separate tight pencil art does not exist for this one, and I don't seem to have a xerox copy of it. Likewise, to do my color rough, I believe I decided on using the best pose on this page as my drawing to color, rather than make a trip to the copy store. I added the labels above and below the color rough, so that it would be clear to others what this was.
I did not start doing Certificates of Authenticity until a few years later. Hang on to the FEDEX label and the post-it, as they help authenticate the color rough. Plus the chain of ownership ("provenance") is helpful.
Best, --JohnThanks for looking guys. Dude, this is pretty epic!

I have a bunch of these pieces by Dustin Graham. He did most of these for me before he started working for Topps. They measure about 13x13 inches or so. The only one I have framed is Formalde Heidi. The rest are stored in tubes. I will eventually frame them all one day. I randomly opened one of the tubes tonight and this is what was in there... Those face veins look great! This is AWESOME!!! nice piece..
