Sideshow Bob

Thought I'd share the wall shot too. Stuck between two Perez pieces (cover to Archive edition and Wonder Girl pin-up), with a Zach Howard TMNT on the far wall. And the desk has the Fabok Batman and a Sienkiewicz Raven.

Adding to my daughters' already stellar collection of OA... a Merry Christmas indeed. Assembled from a couple eBay auctions which were from different SDCC years, so there is a slight paper color difference between the Bats (2016) and Joker/Harley (2017).

Just to clarify, the art for #1 was sold at the invite event Sean held during NYCC, which was about 1/3 buy-it-now and 2/3 auctioned live. The art from #2 and #3 that are currently marked "sold" were sold via the website on a first come-first served basis, with maybe a couple pages sold at Sean's table at NYCC the day after the invite event. The prices being paid on the #2 and #3 OA are not necessarily only from the uber-fan group. Please note, this is not an endorsement of the pricing.

Detective Comics 526 page 2-3 DPS by Don Newton with an almost-complete Gotham rogue's line-up.

It why I picked up the Carl shoots Shane page, after never owning a single WD page or cover or sketch. The moment I read that page in the comic, I gasped. Other than in the first Game of Thrones book when Bran gets defenestrated, I hadn't ever had that reaction in reading fiction. Amazing moment, proud to own it.

Thoughts on Kraven/Zeck cover? Thought there was a high likelihood of two people going toe-to-toe on it, final price was $33k, which was a bit over what I thought the final would be. Does this price nudge the rest of the covers to auction, or reinforce that they should stay where there are? Also, that the Wrightson HOM #225 splash that went for $15k....didn't that go through Comiclink not too long ago? Anyone recall the price?

When he had nothing to say in the dead time between bids and just mumbled "original art", I just about lost it.

Hardly. They are hoisting glasses full of tears of the underbidders.

Nearly identical story. Couldn't handle the eyes on a commission piece, but couldn't renege on the purchase as it was completely finished. Sold in the next CL auction. Couldn't get it out of my house fast enough.

Very nice panel page from Reborn (Millar/Capullo/Glapion). The first panel is pretty much the cover to the issue.

Another installment of my Batman & Spectre team-up, this time by my Swamp Thing: Rotworld idol, Yanick Paquette.

The Sean Murphy work you're comparing to is The Wake, Punk Rock Jesus, Chrononauts, and Tokyo Ghost. This is Batman, even if its an Elseworlds Batman. That's a different level of pricing entirely.

Wow! You got the Freeze splash! Congrats sir!

Its starting to grow on me already...

The original run of New Teen Titans, for my then 7/8 year-old, was at a level that she just devoured the collected trades and read/re-read them probably five or six times each over the summer break last year. Its just edgy enough to keep her guessing, but pure enough in an early 80s latchkey kid sort of way that I wasn't worried about the themes being too adult like what is on the LCS shelf these days. She would love to meet George Perez, which I don't expect will happen anytime soon sadly, but we can all hope.

Another installment of my "Batman and Spectre in a city" commission run, this time from Nick Dragotta (master craftsman of East of West). When Nick offered to do it as two 11x17s across, well, how do you say no? Many many thanks to Felix for coordinating. Haven't had a chance to flatten it out, so the joining looks a little severe at the moment...you know what, that is mighty fine with me. Bob

My daughter is extremely excited to have this hanging next to her bed...

Couple of YTLM pages, including one that I sold and had to buy back years later: http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1410518 http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1410519 http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1410520 When you have a writer like Vaughn, 1/2 of the enjoyment of the series is the word-smithing, therefore I prefer the issues with the word balloons written on the page or stat-ed on...these are all pre-digital lettering.

There was a time when Gabe sold some covers (not interiors) through a US agent, and then with a Chilean agent, before shutting down those relationships and keeping the rest under lock and key (haha). I was lucky enough to buy a couple through his Chilean agent years ago, but I know there were some other savvy buyers who might have a cover available from that time. Plus there was an interior page that squeaked out to a comic shop, so hoping there might be another out there... Knowing what people paid and what I'd be willing to pay, anyone that has Locke & Key art will do well to PM me.

Looking to pay top dollar for each of the following: Any Locke & Key covers by Gabe Rodriguez Y: The Last Man, pages from the first 12 issues only Don Newton: a) Batman #366 pages b) World's Finest #259 (Green Arrow/Hawkman team-up) c) Detective #526 (opening 2-page spread)

Added the first appearance of Ch'p (Green Lantern of Sector 1014, and also a squirrel...) to the collection. As a Don Newton fan, it was really cool to add this first appearance to two others that I have by Newton: the first full appearance of Nocturna and first appearance of The Squid. All three shown here!

Desperately wanted that YTLM page back in my collection after foolishly selling it years ago. And I paid the price for my folly...

I wish Marvel would pick Hugh up again to do covers for their Star Wars. His Dark Horse covers were stunning.

From the Dark Horse Comics run of Star Wars, a tremendous acrylic painting by Hugh Fleming. Went with the metallic frame so the blaster fire would look like it was coming off the image into the room. A little extra continuation added a great touch. Had to wait a couple years before Lucasfilm passed on buying the piece and Hugh was able to satisfy Australian tax rules (no idea what that was about, but best not to argue with the artist!). Bob
