After Klimt?

Who is the artist that created this image? Where can I get a print of it?

I was with my girlfriend at the St. Louis Science Center viewing Marvel Super Heroes: The Exhibition. There was a display area in which they had several classic Marvel comic book covers and other pretty cool images of Marvel characters. These were all blown up to about 18"x24"and printed directly to plastic for durability in the exhibit. Each of the images had a card below it that told who the artist is, the year the image was created and, I think, what or who the subject of the image is. All, except this one.

This one is obviously an homage to Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss". The artist's signature on the image was illegible. Printed on the image is the phrase "After Klimt". This is all that I can see as any kind of identifying mark.

Can anyone tell me the name of the artist, the subject of the image and where I might get a print of this image? Any other clues or information are appreciated too.

Best answer: It's the cover to Elektra: The Hand, issue 5. The art is by Bill Sienkiewicz. More here: http://www.maelmill-insi.de/UHBMCC/ELEKTRA.HTM

Best answer: Also see here. You might be able to contact Bill or Marvel directly and ask...?

Looking around online I don't think you'll find a print of that. This place claims to have prints from Sienkiewicz but there isn't any on their web site. This page in German seems to be selling some Elektra posters by Sienkiewicz but they don't have an image, it's unlikely to be from the Hand series. I think your best bet would be to buy it and make your own print.
