Contacting ROJ comic artists for original prints

I’ve been working on a fan project of recreating the 1983/4 marvel comic of ROJ into a comic-film. While drawing over the pannels to fill out missing details I wondered if I could contact anyone who made the original comics and see If I could get my hands on the pure ink version-no coloring or effects added on top; As this could help me with having more sharper images and easier coloring. I’ve checked out the newest renditions of the old comic and I see a bunch of names but googling them for a contact is proving tedious, but I’m still checking. Could anyone let me know of any possible contacts? And I’m talking about digital photocopy scans, not the real thing*

Update: I’ve found 2 pictures of early sketches of the comic, and a few others by just searching google images but I’m still missing most of the sarlacc sequence which I need

Quite impossible I’m afraid. Al Williamson died in 2010. I have no idea who bought or holds the original art.

I wish you luck.

Some company should have it photocopied since they released a re-colored version in the late 90s, not sure though.
Update, I’ve emailed 2 people and waiting on a thirds email address-who were credited on the 1994 version.
update update, there was another re issue during disney’s aquisition so they must have it… emailed 7 people now and also the colorist who did the disney version.

Are you trying to convince industry professionals to send you high quality scans which are now the property of Disney?

Eh, worth a shot. And still, the comics from 1984, it should be in the public domain by now…

Well no responses still… But I’ve managed to photoshop the colored versions to B&W with a lot of tweaking.
