  1. Came across this article just now, so had to share. I own the artwork for this pinball machine also, below (sorry for the small pic). Who else has had artwork they own, or any collectible in general, foil a robbery?
  2. Without looking up comps, I had the sense they were actually doing pretty well. I seem to remember some pages in the 40k range at initial auction and remember some in the 150-200 range more recently? Its pretty good money. However, there's no first character appearance here either.
  3. Good old skipper From my CAF, the artwork for the Gilligan's pinball machine. They couldn't get the rights for Tina Louise's face so she's blonde here.
  4. Yeah, its a funny thing. The flip side of the 'price is where supply meets demand' equation is that none of it has to make sense. Nowhere in that equation is logic. If they want to pay for the comic pages of film properties then as you say the market speaks, whether it makes sense or not.
  5. the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th panels are great. To your point though as basically an Iron Man page, you'd rather have a TOS 39 page for sure. The Teen Brigade is a big... whatever... and the last panel with the FF is always cool, but its just the one panel. As an Avengers page, you'd want more of the team present. I guess its about right as well. Maybe one increment light IMO but that's splitting hairs.
  6. Sure, it would be better if he was still 50 or 60, but if anybody can pull it off, he can. I really can't imagine anyone else in the role, is another way to put it. Can you? The very idea seems weird to me.
  7. I think there's interest on both sides of the Atlantic. But yeah my guess is that the winner lives in Germany. I could be very wrong..
  8. Sure. Don't get me wrong its more than I would have guessed too, but at the same time the kind of page where a big outlier price is less of a surprise after the fact because of the things the page has going for it. In other words, I wouldn't get in a 45k pizzing match over it, but if I really had to get in that kind of a pizzing match on a Rosa interior, its a pretty good choice.
  9. its a perfect one and done Life & Times page. All 12 chapters represented in one shot.
  10. I can't take credit for the idea, I heard it mentioned on Mandel's podcast and I loved the concept.
  11. I dunno about sleeping giant but to me you have an old Schwarzenegger play an old Conan.
  12. Hmm, on second thought it does say on sale NOW, so I guess it would post-date Super Duper 3!
  13. Also, regarding the Mr Monster appearance - its a full story appearance, not just a cover FWIW. One of my favorite books from this era. Great subject matter with the dark superhero and all the Bell cast of characters, beautiful yellow cover, etc.
  14. A few questions/comments: 1. what book is that? 2. I wouldn't call that an appearance, as its an ad, but I understand both perspectives on ads. 3. Given that's an ad for Super Duper 3, wouldn't it pre-date Super Duper 3 and therefore not be the last appearance even if you do count ads?
  15. Dingle is awesome. He did do some interiors. He was also the art director for Bell features. Polka Dot Pirate. Likely the back half of 1945.
  16. That's it. thank you. Hard to tell with the limited colors!
  17. ah yes, thank you - the strafe explains the air coming out of the boat.... but what's up with his face? Looks like a golden mask/beak thing.
  18. its a waste of twenty bucks in this case, unfortunately.
