Yeah, I get that of course, but still really odd to me. I've been around a number of "celebrities" over the years. Artists, writers, film industry types and just plain uber wealthy folks that never had or felt a need for a security guard, much less two.
I get it with the A lister elite and the paparazzi psychosis that surrounds them. But Frank Miller? Comes as a bit of a shock to me, so what do I know. Good on 'em!
He's made some polarizing political stands/statements in his time. Wouldn't be surprised if he'd received threats of some sort.*
*just speculation!

Sienkiewicz New Mutants had two auctions in the last CLink end at $4,900 and $2,300. Does anyone else know what this market is looking like?
Should it be added into the $3k-$5k category?
-
..... aaaaand that one looks like an "A-Level Preacher Page" to me. What should we update the price range to?
-
Who wants to take a stab at updating this for 2016?
Should we just remove a zero from the end of all the numbers?
-
Seller was probably over the moon. I'm pretty sure the $100 he received doubled or tripled his initial investment.
-
Great podcasts by the way.... Thanks for al the work you put into this project.

How about a Steve Donnelly podcast?
"I don't have that answer right now, Felix. Wait here a minute while I check with my brother..."

Not on Netflix, but if you can locate this one, it's a really interesting saga of one woman's battle against the collected powers-that-be who run the Jackson Pollock art market.
Who the *spoon* is Jackson Pollock?
Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock? is a documentary following a woman named Teri Horton, a 73-year-old former long-haul truck driver from California, who purchased a painting from a thrift shop for $5, only later to find out that it may be a Jackson Pollock painting; she had no clue at the time who Jackson Pollock was, hence the name of the film.

Well for starters, Byrne X-Men "A" pages are now $60k
-
But is Heritage claiming them to be the same painting? As I read the description they are claiming the one they have is a formerly undocumented prelim. Naturally it would have differences.
Good point! They are indeed claiming it's a prelim.
(I got a little too exited to bust out the photoshop)
-
Most glaring point though: Where did the signature go?
-
Yes, he did several where we could see teeth.
Including the 1975 painting "Oh, oh!"
Only a bad reproduction has seen print of that painting, but very recently a slide of the painting turned up in Denmark. Here's a link where you can see it next to the Heritage piece and the old repro:
Here is a shot of the images overlaid onto the one another. I aligned the circles on top of each other so that you can see how drastic the differences are.
Note the coins, feet, woman's leg, cane, shadow placement....

I see that the Uncle Scrooge painting has reached $5000 now.
I have mailed Russ Cochran regarding the painting but have recieved no reply,
and I have now sent Heritage two messages. Why?
I have very strong doubts that it's by Carl Barks.
Here's a comparisation between the Heritage painting (to the left) and a real Barks painting: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RyAQ-s9IKc0/VhgFiFZyCOI/AAAAAAAAJJA/usu5m_umUbo/s1600/Close%2Bup%2Bcompare.tif
See how different the paint is applied.
And just looking at a close-up noting the most striking things: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--fbunmfLURY/VhgFqUrFojI/AAAAAAAAJJI/_Ex-T3amTJI/s1600/Close%2Bup%2Bnotes.jpg
They even claim it to be a lost 1974 painting. Well... That "lost" painting was re-discovered way back in 1992 and has since been published in Europe. It's called "The Tycoon". http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=CB+OIL++70-A
What do you think?
Interesting. If it were real, what price range would you expect it to sell for?
-
The FF275 cover went for $15k earlier on this year in ComicLink. It's tough to draw many parallels between those two but I would think the FF269 is not on the same level.
-
Yes, the last Byrne FF cover that went so high (#256) was a pretty spectacular image.
-
I think the Dave Johnson is one of the best but can't find a picture of the original art (I do believe he still works mostly traditionally).
He will do some components traditionally and then assemble, compose and color the piece on the computer.
Not sure if this one is all one piece of OA, but I doubt it.

I was scrambling to unclick the "disable bidding" button. Don't know what I would've sold off to pay for it, but believe me I was trying to get a bid in.
-
Just ordered one. Looking forward to it...
-
Quick question for anyone in-the-know: there are 100 copies available, so did he repeat each of the drawings 25 times until he got to 100 total books? ...or are the images pictured just four random sample drawings from the batch?
-
Pretty good result considering many collectors (like myself) had no idea it was being auctioned.
-
...Just because they own the originals doesn't mean they own the publishing rights

I've been contacted by Scott Dunbier in the past (through CAF Mail) based on scans I had posted in my gallery.
If you had something you thought he might be interested in including, you could contact him through his own CAF

My favorites:
3. Gil Kane - Amazing Spider-Man
I did like the Gil Kane book more than the two Romita ones. Better villains/stories, and it included some great Romita-inked pages to boot
-
the Steranko Shield is the best designed
... assuming you like the way the cover to that one was designed.
Frank Miller art 2016!

He was actually working everywhere around this time period. DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, Image, Wizard, Valiant, Topps plus things like Convention Program contributions etc...
