The problems with the Artist Choice's website :
- Too many pages withouts scans
- Too many scass with broken links (all the links are dead for Kieron Dwyer, and he's not the only one)
- No thumbnails for the pages.
- Too many art attributed to the wrong artist (Stuart Immonen instead of Neil Edward, Pasarin instead of Geraldo Borges, ...).
- No search engine
Agree, don't know why artists continue to stay with AC when they're leaving money on the table with all the collector's passing on buying stuff from the site since it's so broke down. That site is like a digital version of those "Back in 10 mins" signs where the retailer never comes back.

Any update on any additional guests besides Chaykin that will be attending?

Glad I didn't bid. All the reserves not met make this more and more not a true auction. The reserves must have been 10x market value, what a joke for a first go at this for pedigree and I'll no longer even look at any of their future auctions because of it.

to this page. Don't think I could ever drop currency on a page like this could probably purchase a quality small vehicle, but glad a collector got this. -
Wow a thread I can pitch in on!!!
Art as it was purchased by cool lines for about $700 at a heritage auction:
http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=30877&GSub=3980
Art now for sale, after it's magically acquired new borders:
http://www.coollinesartwork.com/featured.asp?Piece=290482
Yuppers! Roll right up for actual misrepresentation before your very eyes!
Price I was quoted by cool lines after I specifically asked whether they had added borders and was told no...
$7k
That's a 10x mark up! Great work if you can get it. Course you need to commit fraud and lie to potential customers... But hey, that's collecting original art for you!!
10x Mark Up? Insane. Do these guy really sell high-end pieces non-stop in order for them to keep acquiring art?
I mean, if you'er a high-end collector you'd surely know how unscrupulous these guys are and not buy from them. So is it just newbies with deep pockets that continue to fund these guys' OA stash?

Question for anyone that knows the answer:
What is the most inexpensive way to read all of the comics, without buying each book separately?
Does anyone know if there is some inexpensive collections (or reprinted collections) that can be bought that would cover as much turtle history as possible?
My goal is to read as much of the original Mirage series as possible, all the way up to any current series of Turtles comic books if possible.
I'd like to know as much as Peter Palmer does! And perhaps also pass those books onto my greasy_fingered_pizza_eating_fall_asleep_drooling_on_a_book_teenager, without worrying about the books getting messed up by him!
Thank you!
Well, if you're looking for the cheapest way to read the old Mirage stories, check them out at your local library for FREE. I know my branch carries the IDW collection of the Mirage series, in the HC version to boot!
-
book receive promptly and nicely thank you very much! :-)

Does anyone know if there's a site or full listing somewhere out there that has all the names on this cover in text format for the AMS #700 Skyline cover?
Need to put it on alpha order and cross out the names as I get them and being able to print it out makes it a lot easier to remember who exactly is on this instead of trying to search each time I meet a creator to see if they're listed.
-
Hot Dog! That's awesome, you got Psylocke, Deadpool, Fantomex all Venom-ified! Heck, I'm having trouble even finding the comic this is on and you got the OA!
-
He had the concept drawings for I think 17-22. I picked 18 because I loved how the green/yellow/orange pop with the blues. It was the only one with any other colors than blue. I also liked it because it was the final concept and closely matches the real cover.
Nice! How much were those concept drawings selling for?
-
I actually found 6 more after digging through some more boxes. I left 3 because they were destroyed.
They were the counterfeit versions, but I bought them all just to get them off the market so as not to be confused by some unknowing soul down the line.
Counterfeit Dawns? What's the tip-off that they're not on the up-and-up?

Tony Chuy by John Layman at WonderCon. Yes, yes it is!

I'd like to challenge.
DAY-UMMMMMMMMMM.

Nick Dragotta was at WonderCon this past weekend. If you bought and brought over a copy of East of West he'd do a quick sketch for you. We were able to grab a copy at a booth for $10 and then trekked to Artist Alley where he did a quick sketch.
Dragotta wasn't selling any copies at his booth since he wanted the comic store retailers to be the ones the fans bought from to help encourage additional orders. Both the regular and phantom variant were being sold for $10, wish I bought more but didn't have time to go back and get some more.
Dragotta's $100 commission list was seemingly full by EOD Friday and had to rush our sketches on Sat. Still cool guy.

Stopped by my two LCS that still had NWM #1 couple weeks ago that I went to finally buy.....all sold out of course.
-
Has anyone ever ordered directly from Mirage Licensing and gotten their order? I was thinking of FCBD TMNT Volume One #1 reprint w/ Fugitoid figure since it comes signed by Peter Laird but it looks like the site hasn't been updated in a while.
-
Just saw Ale at a local show last month (didn't know they had artists showing up) or I would've gotten a sketch from him but I didn't have my sketchbook or blanks with me.
At the shows I've seen him at his quick head sketch prices started around $40 or $100 for full figure I believe.

Hard Black Kiss signed/numbered hardcover limited to 666 copies by Howard Chaykin. Put out by Vortex in 1993(?). Nice gold foil lips stamp on the cover. Too bad the paper they used is newsprint. Anybody read the new series? Is it worth picking up?
I picked up the first issue of BK v2 #1 and it's nuts. Never read the first series and picked up this one since Chaykin was appearing at a local con and wanted it signed. Read it and still have no idea what was going on. Haven't seen the 1st vol. for cheap at local stores in a while, I guess I'll be on the lookout for it for the collection.

Double-Dayummmmmm! How long did it take to complete the commission?

They still have a ton of FF #1 Phantom; no Capt or Hulk that I saw. Another Graham had a stack of Great Pacific, while mine had none.
I saw a bindery issue on the one that my comic dude pulled for me and put in a bag; the one off the shelf looked to be pretty clean.
My LCS had all Phantom variants (even Deadpool #1 up to mid-last week) for $5, only the Bedlam #1 did I see it marked up for $10 a few weeks ago until the last copy finally sold. Haven't popped in this week to check out Bedlam #2 yet though.

Picked up a Detective 880 for cover price in NM condition at one of my neighborhood shops.
2 months ago my LCS had a stack of 880s that I picked up 3 issues of since I wanted to get Jock to sign at SDCC next year, would've picked up more but the condition was FN-VF only. Ended up selling them though and pre-Death of the Family storyline I sold one for $9, and post-launch of DOTF, I sold the other 2 for between $14-$16.

Does anyone know if Jeremy will be taking commission requests to his LA gallery opening or just signing the HC?
to this page. Don't think I could ever drop currency on a page like this could probably purchase a quality small vehicle, but glad a collector got this. 
Carnage Cover Question - may sell
in Original Comic Art
Posted
Ditto on the approx. valuation, depending on which venue though and timing I'd say though $600-$1200. I've seen some nice covers on ComicLink the last few OA auctions go for that range that I expected to go on the high end actually go for lower in the cover-tier price range. If it was more of a full-body Carnage shot it'd hit $1k easily, but since it's mainly a torso it'd have more variable in the pricing. If it was one of the Del Mundo covers it'd also hit the $1k price easily since those were a draw. Perkins is a solid artist and has longevity in the field, but not really a big name recognition as others. Still a nice cover that should sell nicely.
