Three hand-drawn John Bell "Mikey" concept illustrations from the production of Barry Sonnenfeld's sci-fi comedy Men in Black. Alien criminal Mikey (John Alexander) disguised himself as a migrant worker to avoid the Men in Black.

These three concept illustrations for Mikey's reveal are rendered in mixed media on construction paper, illustration paper, and drawing paper labeled "Mikey" and signed by John Bell, one of the early concept designers who helped develop the film's signature retro style. Two sheets are dated "94". The set is in good overall condition with minor wear and folding to the edges. Dimensions (largest): 23 cm x 30.5 cm (9" x 12"); (smallest): 21.75 cm x 28 cm (8 1/2" x 11")
