Re: Was the strip ever funny I always liked this one.

That's my expectation. I'm not paying a ton for one.

Make se Makes sense. I'd like to get one from August 6th for my wife as a gift. It's her birthday and she was a giant Garfield fan when we married and for many years after.

Just came across it on eBay and the CAF and liked what I saw. Later on, I found the ebooks on Amazon.

My earliest are from late 1957 - Carol Day's Problem Child. Click the image to embiggen. Click the links to see all Carol Day e-books or Problem Child specifically.

Showoff! (It's wonderful. thanks for sharing, and, yes, I'm jealous! )

I seem to have a new sub-theme - the process of creating a cover. Earlier, I put together the Severin pre-lim, Kirby pencils, Giacoia inks, and published cover for a Skull the Slayer issue that a number of people have enjoyed. Today, I posted a Curt Swan Adventure cover and the Infantino pre-lim, Cardy finished piece, and cover of LSH #1 which reprinted the same story. The new cover was much more dynamic. Anyone have anything similar to share? BTW, I don't own any of the art.

If I have a choice, I'll choose a scene over a bust or full figure every time. I want them doing something even if it's as silly as my Arm Wrestling collection that you can see here. (You really should look.)

Did you ask J. David Spurlock?

Have you asked Trevor?

You should have stopped by. It's well worth the visit and they don't mind visitors. I had a great time on my visit.

I was wondering if anyone checked out my post and had any thoughts.

I'm not sure, but Clark Kent has appeared in the Marvel Universe more than once. Here's a blog about it.

I've done the research and posted it on the internet! Check it out here: Themed Art Galleries on Comic Art Community. I need to update it. If you'd like me to add you and your themes, PM me here. As for me, my themes are: Artists & Main Characters - favorite artists doing the characters I associate with them Arm Wrestling with Heroes - my fallback commission request - an artist whose work I like on a character having that character arm wrestle Supergirl Family Christmas Cards - We had caricatures done for our Christmas card a couple of times. Sugar and Spike #100 Cover - S&S didn't make it to #100 except here. Various artists doing an S&S 100 cover for me Legion of Super-Heroes commissions. - pretty self explanatory, I think

oops.

Are you going to have it inked? If so, blue line or pencils? Me? I might have it blue lined inked only though I'd be tempted to have different inkers try their hands on it to see what differences show up.

I'd guess $100 plus shipping both ways. Chris did mine for $50 in 2008.

Chris Ivy (ivyzink@gmail.com and on Facebook) did a nice job for me. I had them done on an overlay rather than placed on the art.

Here are two that I really like and the final piece for each. The preliminaries were bought from Anthony Snyder after the artist had passed away. It never occurred to me to ask for them when I did the commission. Nick Cardy - Bat Lash (click to embiggen) Giordano - JLA (click to embiggen)

Can't wait to see it!

John posted that they are short 3 pages. Please spread the word.

The Legion of Super-Heroes (13 commissions and 6 published pages). This includes my most expensive commission. One that will never return the $ I spent, but which makes me quite happy.

Oops. Not sure what happened to put this post here and I can’t delete it. Sorry.

As a rule, I don't want a lot of examples by the same artist though I will buy multiples for various reason, e.g., different characters. (1) On which artist have you spent the most money to date? Yale Stewart - That's driven by a single commission that is the most expensive piece in my collection. H.G. Peter - if you are looking for published pieces (2) In your collection, which artist's works have the most combined value (when assessed objectively)? So many of mine are commissions (sell at 50 cents on the dollar), it's really hard to say, but if I had to guess, I'd saw the Curt Swan pieces are the most valuable as a group (2 commissions - Superman & LSH - and 2 published pages (LSH). Again, this is biased because I have so few per artist - an average of just under 1.5 per artist. (3) In your collection, which artist's works are the most common? As mentioned, I average just under 1.5 pieces per artist. Yale Stewart - 9 pieces followed by Joe Eisma and Thom Zahler with 5 each, Curt Swan, Nick Pitarra, and Terry Moore with 4 each. This is just my collection, if I were to throw in my wife's and my daughters', Katie Cook with have the most pieces of art (27). Those mini-paintings are addictive!
