  1. I just received this in the mail today. Couldn't help myself despite the front and back cover oxidation. The spine is in great condition with NO tears, splits or wear, and all text on the spine is legible. All pages are present. Would love your thoughts and opinion!
  2. Recently purchased this off Comic Art Fans site. It's not a coveted Batman:TAS related piece, but it checks off the next best thing you'd want from Bruce Timm. Also. I actually prefer this piece over the colored published cover (Amazing Spider-man # 850), Mary Jane is so much more striking to me in b&w.
  3. Currently reading The Three Investigators in the Mystery of the Silver Spider. LOVED this series as a kid, and just as enjoyable as an adult.
  4. Seems like it was indeed a bad day to hold the auction. But if the strips weren't so readily available thus far (unlike Calvin and Hobbes), I'm sure everyone would've been there with bells on. I won't complain 😊
  5. Well, thought I'd resurrect this thread since the latest Garfield strips were auctioned off on Heritage this past week. I really had my eye on only one (a 1979 strip) as I was aiming for a pure Jim Davis, and actually won it (below). It's really interesting to see which themes or topic matters go for more money like Lyman, coffee, Liz, Christmas, Pookie, etc. Strips that didn't make me laugh as much went for more because of content. I was also rather stunned to see a decent Sunday strip from the first year only go for $1,200.
  6. Ever since I discovered a Wrightson Swamp Thing original art page I own made a small cameo in the corner of a book (Twomorrow's Swampmen), I've wondered if it can be considered a published page. It's never been published in any other capacity. I've tried searching for answers but only obvious replies come up (eg. covers, splashes, etc.). What do y'all think? And just to be clear, I don't ever plan on selling this page. Asking out of curiosity.
  7. I've always wanted to own a Garfield strip having grown up on the books, TV series and specials. As a kid, seeing the 1978-79 version of Garfield was jarring after being more familiar with the mid to late 80's version. But the writing and comedy quickly won me over. I actually won a strip this past auction (see below), my first EVER win on Heritage Auctions. Being a rookie at this and a bit overwhelmed by the rush, I accidentally won a 1980 strip despite tracking only the 1979s. My intention was to purchase a piece where Davis had also inked and lettered, so I'll be trying again at the upcoming one. I don't have Bronty funds , so generally I purchase one ideal example of my favorite artists. I have been trying to research exactly when Valette Greene began working/inking for Jim Davis, but there's very little solid information. I read Davis' interview where he states he did everything for the first year. But also found the following reference online (The Comic Strip Project-Who's Who-H2 (bpib.com): "Hildebrandt, Valette (Greene)asst. cs "Garfield" (i) 1977-97" 1977 can't be right unless she was assisting on the prior "Jon" strip. Anyways, I agree the hardcore fans that double as original art collectors prefer the all-Davis strips. But, ultimately, most care about the character appearances, gags and how memorable the strip is.
  8. He sent it via PostNord. USPS took over once it reached the U.S. We believe the package ended up on a boat to cross the Atlantic due to reduced flights.
  9. Thanks everybody! I paid just over $2,600 for it including shipping. I don't mind stating the price because I'm not planning on selling it. There were several affordable penciled and inked pages out there, but none that had "it" for me. When I saw those magic Ditko hands 😍 Going to be as close as I get to a Dr. Strange page. Took a deep dive on Comic Art Fans site to find it. Was listed as NFS but the owner had a note in his byline to contact him if interested. Neither the seller or Heritage Auctions (where he had purchased it several years ago) knew which Charlton comic it was published in. But a Google search on the character's name yielded the answer: a 6 page story titled Class Reunion in Ghostly Haunts #48.
  10. It only took 8 weeks and 1 day to arrive from Sweden, but it's here at last. I can finally close this thread.
