This is an original signed production cel and printed background are from the hit series X-Men.  Stan Lee signature is located on the top right of cel in black sharpie. * Under a cloud of increasing anti-mutant sentiment, Professor Xavier creates a haven at his Westchester mansion to train young mutants to use their powers for the benefit of humanity, and to prove mutants can be heroes. Xavier recruited Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Beast and Jean Grey calling them "X-Men" because they possessed the "x-gene", an ability normal humans lacked. Early issues introduced the team's arch enemy, Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, who would later battle the X-Men for years. * What is going on  here?!? * * Original Animated Cel and Printed Background * Overall Size of the Cel: 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" Overall Size of the background: 10" x 14" Excellent Condition This is an original hand-painted cel set-up used in the production of an episode of X-Men titled "Beauty and the Beast."  Each one-of-a-kind set-up represents a slight change in position of the characters. When individually photographed and projected in rapid succession, the images appear to move. * To create production cels, the original animator's drawing is transferred onto an acetate cel (by hand-inking and/or photo copying). The cel is then hand-painted on the reverse side. The background accompanying this set-up is a reproduction background. * The cel and original background is ready to be matted and framed.  The animators notations are located at the bottom of the cel and top of the background.  The Certificate of Authenticity is from Choice Collectibles.  The cel and background come in a protective sleeve. *
