Just added this nice 1975 page from Justice League of America by Dillin and Frank McLaughlin. From the issue where Adam Strange marries Alanna, the page features Adam confronting Kanjar Ro, who feels the need to explain his villainous plot. http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1202990

Yeah I dig the Gene Colan/Ernie Chan work on Daredevil. Have a page from that issue myself.

Closing out the year with this title page from Justice League of America issue 214 Into The Microcosmos part two by Don Heck and Romeo Tanghal. http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1189277

I added these couple of pages from Infinity Crusade by Ron Lim and Al Milgrom; title splash page from issue 1 and Thanos and Warlock confrontation from issue 6. http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=46227

Bought 6 books from Revat. Super smooth and easy deal, and couldn't have been happier with the lot once I received them. Great seller and would recommend buying from him. Don

Picked up a book from Hector and it couldn't have gone smoother. Exactly as described, well packed, and quick shipping. Perfect deal and would glady buy from again. Don

Picked up one book from Robert. Didn't matter that it was only one book and not 10 or 20, nor was it a super expensive book at that. Still treated me top notch and the book came packed well, and was perfectly graded. Couldn't ask for more from a deal, and would gladly buy from him again. Don

Appreciate the information on these. Understand about the #275 cover and how it would be a collector's favorite. I think I understand on the 266 cover and the "without boots" part, but I still dig it. Any possible information on any interior pages from these issues? General observation I make is that Novick Flash pages seem pretty scarce overall. Saviuk pages as well, but he only did a fraction of issues compared to Novick, so that's a bit more understandable. Don

I don't post here often as I usually lurk. More so lately as I've had a piece that has had me tied up for a bit of time. Finally got it paid off and it has arrived. It's one of those pages that makes me think of the line from my friend Shane; sometimes you have to get it and work the money out afterwards. This was one of those pages to me, and I am appreciative of Mike Burkey for working with me on the deal. From 1980, the title page to the Roger Stern penned, Marie Severin penciled, and Steve Mitchell inked Peter Parker Spectacular Spider-Man story :"Wings of Fire, Wings of Fear". We find our hero captured and about to cremated by The Vulture and Malachi. Not sure I could ask for more of a title page. Spectacular Spider Man 45 pg 1

Got my order from Spencer. Mostly happy given that some of my first choices weren't available. Nothing super flashy here, but still some low end pages that I was pretty happy to pick up. Barry Kitson/ Mike Manley Adventures of Superman page with Superman vs Brainiac. and Dan Jurgens/Jerry Ordway Zero Hour page featuring Superman, Impulse, and a bunch of dinosaurs (which make everything cooler.. right?) Also grabbed a couple of Superman pages by Jurgens but I don't have scans of them. Heck, I haven't posted these to CAF yet either.

I'm on the lookout for pages from a couple of issues of The Flash. One by Irv Novick and the other by Alex Saviuk. Doesn't have to be the cover, but I am looking for nice interior pages from issue 266 where Flash face Heat Wave. Pencils by Irv Novick and inks by Frank McLaughlin (cover by Rich Buckler). I'm also looking for any pages from issue 275, which were done by Alex Saviuk with inks by Frank Chiaramonte. I know Saviuk only penciled around 7 issues of The Flash, and I know where the complete issue of 276 is, but I haven't found any pages available from 275. (I have seen the alternate, unused cover out there, but not the original cover for this issue). There's a few other issues from around this time that I'd be interested in, that had art by Novick, but considering the lengthy run he had on the title, there really seems to be very little available. Don

I was going to mention that it was Dali who had been reportedly forced to have signed lots of blank canvas, most likely at the insistance of his guardians in his later years. This leaves most art dealers/collectors skeptical of later year Dali art. In regards to the Miller/Janson Daredevil situation, I do think it is an important factor is Miller did the original pencils, layouts, and most importantly if they were on the same page or not. Don

Pretty sure I showed this off in another thread about this topic, but I'll participate here also. My first original art purchase was a Spider Man con sketch by John Romita Jr at the Oakland comic con in 1999. That was a gift for the best man at my wedding that year. I neglected to get anything for myself from either Romita Jr or Romita Sr who were both at the con that year. My fiance got an original sketch of Betty and Veronica, from Archie Comics, from Dan DeCarlo who was there with his wife Josie. For some reason I never really put it together that I could buy original comic book art pages so my first comic art page purchase would be a lengthy 10 years later in 2009 when I ran across the page on ebay while looking for animation cels. It was a page from one of my favorite comic series, Justice League of America, and it was from the first annual issue that was put out in 1983. Pencils by Rick Hoberg and inks by Giordano. Maybe not as exciting as a Sandman, Preacher, or Kirby page, but still pretty special to me.

I got a new commission in from one time Timely Comics artist Ken Bald. He knocked out a commission of The Blonde Phantom for me. Seems he finished it up on his 92nd Birthday, so I think that's kind of special. Also got in this original page from John Romita with Al Milgrom inks. It's from 1993 and is from a back up story in the Spectacular Spider-Man annual 13, so it doesn't feature Spider-Man, Peter Parker, or Mary Jane, but it does have the Sons of the White Tiger, The Prowler, and Killer Shrike. I also got this Justice League of America page in and I don't think you can go wrong with Dillin with Frank McLaughlin inks. A few other things on the horizon but this is the most recent. For anybody who wants to look around or leave a comment, my CAF is located here: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=46227 Don

Damn, I love those Alien pages. Excellently captures the feel of the film and HR Giger's designs. To this thread, I add a page of art that's technically a couple of days old to me, but I'm still super excited about getting it. Especially as it took something along the lines of 3 months for it to reach me. At one point, after paying for it, it was thought that the page had been lost, and then possibly just mis-filed, and finally found and mailed out. I remained patient (as possible) throughout, remaining hopeful that the page would turn up and eventually find it's way to my collection. That patience paid off and here it is... A fine Silvestri page of art from Uncanny X-Men, from right in the middle of the Inferno saga. I was a big fan of this period of the X-Men series and thought Silvestri's art really added to the storytelling. Check it out at http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=647774&GSub=94366

Although fairly new to collecting comic book art, I think I would fall into the category of loving the medium and liking the aspect of getting original comic book art. I remember reading comic books from around when I was 6 years old and I had a couple issues of Marvel Team Up (I would love to still have those issues, but alas they're long gone in one of several moves). From then onwards, I alway read comic books, even through High School years, where it was considered to not be "cool", and all my friend had stopped reading them years earlier. I loved the ability of the artists to tell a story sequentially in panels, conveying sense of movement and action, but also the quieter moments of character interaction. Having a great appreciate for art (my Mom was an art teacher), comic books, and comic art, it was probably a natural sequence for me to turn towards collecting original comic book art. I have a small collection going but I've gotten some pages that I'm really happy with; including a couple that have great meaning for me.
