It is an exceptional piece. Would this be the record price for a recreation?

Daredevil 10 Claw page (colored) by Bob Wood: 3433. vs 10K at Heritage two years ago... ouch.

PRIME PERIOD Heck. Pre-code through pre-hero Silver Age.

Congrats! Gorgeous middle panel.

I take it back, its from one of the What If pages that did sell. IIRC, the missing pages were two more pages from X-men 2.

I believe that panel is from the Eternals robot-Hulk storyline.

If only there was some way for Heritage to monitor the live feed...

thanks!

When he says "my bid" or "on the book" does that refer to Heritage bidding on the lot itself?

Good tip!

I thought the price was very reasonable for the Fraz Charles Starrett page.

Yup.

Switched from Safari to Chrome with miraculous improvement! I even get to watch the video, who knew? I agree the sound is super low. Good price on Dr. Sacotti? Or low?

Heritage app working very poorly for me, anyone else? The lot pictured at the top doesn't advance even though the bidding moves on.

These are some lovely Foster examples.

Arrange the results by date, latest first.

Any of the above, I assume. Flipping HA to C-Link in the same year strikes me as a very likely way to lose money. But if I have piece that I don't like as much as I thought I did, and something better comes along, if I think I can break even I'll go for it. But that usually means holding for a couple years at least.

Beautiful work!

I don't know nothin', but it screams Sienkiewicz to me.

I did a breakdown of the SA Kirby pages so far as to their inventory/ provenance status --can't see if any of them are signed by Jack yet. Amazing Adventures 6, pg 10: Marvel had 23 pages in 1980. Kirby drew 13 pages in this issue and was returned 8 in 1987. Did some or all of the missing 5 go to the estate of the inker, George Klein, or accidentally to Ayers? At any rate it's possible this page passed through Kirby's possession. FF 34, pg 19: Marvel had 21 pages in 1980, returned 13 to Kirby in 1987. But which ones? FF 78, p19: This whole book was missing at the time of the 1980 inventory, and so, naturally, no pages were ever returned to Kirby. TTA 7, 5pg complete story: Marvel had 18 pages from the issue in 1980, none were returned to Kirby (an obvious problem with many page provenances is that neither the 1980 inventory NOR the 1987 return list specify WHICH pages specifically, so these 5 pages could have been missing even before 1980).

Since it's Mount Rushmore I've revised my list to focus on just the American comic book. From left to right: Jack Kirby's right hand, with pencil Jack Kirby Roz Kirby Jack Kirby's left hand, with cigar.

I certainly wouldn't say that. Stan did serious damage to Kirby's vision for ten long years! That's an indelible mark on comics history

As self-evident as that seems to you, I can promise you it is equally baffling to me how many comic fans still can't see how brilliant Kirby's writing was in the 70's. His are virtually the only mainstream US comics that hold up on the text end from that period of brilliant drawing and embarrassing literary pretense. The fact that he was a complete comic creator meant that he could meld word and image into a seamless whole just as my other choices, Tezuka, Crumb and Herriman did. For the same reason, I can understand the arguments for Barks, Herge, Caniff, Eisner, Schulz, and a few others.

LOL. I like Heck's pre-hero work. But on balance, maybe Romita makes the greater contribution overall. He designed several terrific covers in his first 30 or so Spidey issues.
