Hi

I am selling some original art mainly from the Bronze Age including an Alfredo Alcala Captain Marvel, Don Perlin Defenders full team half splash, Frank Robbins Human Fly, Ernie Chan Claw the Unconquered and a massive Steve Rude painting. More to come in the coming week so please keep checking back. Please contact me directly via my Comicartfans page if interested as I don't check my mail here that often. Thanks for looking.

I have an original oil painting commission by Steve Rude for sale. Oil on canvas, 2012. 3 feet by 2 feet. It's Steve's take on the Roman mythological Gods, Venus and Mars in his "good girl art" style. Please take a look by clicking the link below and contact me if interested. Since this piece is huge, will be happy to bring it to SDCC for pickup.

There is now an almost identical piece on eBay. They are not the same if you look carefully.

I could see one being the prelim for the piece at Kirby museum's site (size etc seems to indicate that) but two pieces??

Also, anyone flagging this obvious Romita fake??

Can't speak for Silvestri's modern work but his Uncanny X-Men pages will easily fetch 1.2k these days for average pages

There is lots of talk here about the record auction sales of recent years here and it's lots of fun but for the most part they're anomalies. Key covers based on first appearances or iconic storylines. In many cases the artist is incidental to the sale price.

 

I was wondering about Artists whose work seems to under-performs at auction.

 

 

1. Mike Zeck (80's-92) jumps to mind. I know that a deathstroke cover sold for around 8k during the last Clink auction but for a long time most of those DS covers topped out at around 2-3k.

 

Zeck drew some hugely popular comicbook mini series and cover runs during the 1980's. At auction though, in general his work can be had much cheaper than many of his contemporaries.

 

2. Jim Lee Uncanny X-men interiors. I'm sure covers are highly coveted but interiors often sell below the average bar set for 21st century Lee art.There were a few very nice pages from 274-275 sitting on ebay at reasonable (for lee) prices that sat for years unsold. I've seen that a few times in private/dealer sales.

 

3. Jose Gonzalez, artist of Vampirella. His storytelling wasn't so great but Jose did some of the most beautiful comic book drawing I've ever seen. His pen ink technique and style seems to have influenced many artists over several generations.

 

4. Marc Silvestri. Een though he's been around for decades and his cover art gets lots of fanfare from publishers and seems to be popular among comic collectors Marc is another artist whose interiors seem to sit around 300-500 bucks a page. His modern Covers (2000-2015) stall out at around 3k at auction.

 

 

 

 

Can this be moved somewhere else permanently? I don't want to be reading this drama with this guy that I will never ever deal with.
