  1. Reason for the new thread: The one year period for updates to a post on a thread has passed so I can no longer update the first post on the old one. I'll mark the annual updates with the year. As many of you know, I've collected tips on how to price comic book art. I have recently updated my write-up to include resources that a seller might use and that are not really appropriate for buyers. I also added a section on pricing pencils/letters/inks on a page vs. pencils/inks on a page vs. separate pencils and inks. Feedback is welcome. BTW, The latest write-up is always on this post. I edit the material in Spoiler tags and add a new comment on the bottom of the thread. This seems to be the easiest way to find the latest. Of course, it means older versions are gone. If you'd like a copy of this in an email, just PM me with your email address and I'll send it along I recognize that this is simply a general description and each piece of art and each seller is unique, but I think this information can be useful.
  2. New Art Day - Cap Stubbs in "Who's Mary Margaret Mad at Anyway!" by Edwina Dumm I love comic strips that feature kids - Skippy, Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Cut de Sac, Wallace the Brave, you get the picture. One of those strips I discovered by visiting Rob Stolzer’s page where he has quite a number of Dumm’s Cap Stubbs strips. Some time ago, I bought a couple of strips from the 50s, but Rob said I needed something older. He addressed that issue. For your viewing pleasure is a strip from long ago; just click the image. Thanks, Rob!
  3. New Art Day - Skippy in "He didn't have an Eye for It" by Percy Crosby Skippy is a great strip. Charles Schulz credited Skippy as an inspiration for Peanuts. I’ve loved the strip since I discovered it and the book Skippy vs. the Mob. Take a few minutes to enjoy the strip and read the Description. Turns out that Skippy has a interesting real world legal history. As an aside, it’s remarkably small - 4.5” by 16.5”.
  4. I don't see him listed under Commissions on her site.
  5. Maybe my favorite was when Nick Cardy called me to ask if I was happy with my commission. Or maybe it was when Al Plastino called to talk about doing my commission because it was raining and he couldn't play golf!
  6. There is a thread on this board called "Pricing Comic Art - Update." In the spoiler text of the first post in that thread, you will find a wealth of information on how to find prices for comic art, how to find comic art, and how/where to sell comic art. I hope it helps. Questions are welcome. You'll find help there.

  8. It's one of the pinned threads on this board. Here's the link to that specific thread. It's rather long.
  9. FWIW, I put this newsletter and many other resources on in the first post on this thread. Take a look.
  10. Added three more for Shaun Clancy. Cover recreations featuring: Captain America, Shang Chi, and the X-Men
  11. Added John Livesay's quest for Batman Family #19. Added Michael Lustig's JLA 140, 141, 142

  15. Added 7 themed collections from Mark Levy (3 single character and 4 book rebuilds). Added a single character theme (Hot Mummy) from Richard Boom
  16. An article from today's NY Times: After a flurry of more than 180 bids in the final hour, a JPG file made by Mike Winkelmann, the digital artist known as Beeple, was sold on Thursday by Christie’s in an online auction for $69.3 million with fees.
  17. Added Daniel Burtis' colLEXion of Lex Luthor art
  18. A little more inheritance squandering has occurred! This time, Thom Zahler Cartooning created a daily piece of art featuring couples suggested by his Patreon members. I naturally suggested Sugar and Spike and equally naturally bought the created piece! For the heck of it, I also used my cover template and made it - like my Jeffrey Brown S&S meet Darth Vader piece - pseudo, faux S&S 100 cover. In the description, you will find a link to all of the couples. Check my couple out by clicking on the image:
  19. My favorite Peanuts era. I still have my left nut, but it's not worth much at my age.
  20. Added @malvin's Incredible Hulk 340 cover recreations and his "Batman vs. ..." theme.
