Sounds to men like you're out, but you're not out, out.

That is, you've gotten rid of all the excess and now have a small collection of the best pages on your wall. 

That might be a good way to put it

So...I tell myself I am out. I tell myself I am not going to buy anymore comic art. I tell myself that I am just going to enjoy the last few handful of pages I have left hanging on my walls...then, someone offered me this...

http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1435604

Gotham Central #2 cover by Michael Lark.  It features Renee Montoya, Crispus Allen and Marcus Driver with the shadows of Batman and Mr. Freeze squaring off. This cover to me says everything about the amazing run that was Gotham Central. The Police men and women of Gotham front and center heading into danger with the Batman and his rogues in the shadows. So very happy to add this great cover to my collection. It will be framed and be proudly displayed on my wall for a very long time.

A bit of back story... I recently sold 90% of my collection (all but 5 pages) and decided to move on. After doing that I was only really upset about selling one page, a Gotham Central Cover to #3. As soon as the buyer told me it arrived safe and sound I asked them to let me know if they ever wanted to sell it. Well as luck would have it, I was offered the chance to buy this cover to #2. Though I will miss the #3 I couldn't be happier as, along with the cover to #25, the cover to #2 has always been my favorite. I am not back in the game and can't see myself buying any more art for a very long time but a piece like this I just couldn't turn down. Thanks for looking!

If anyone knows where the original art cover to Gotham Central #25 by Michael Lark is please send me a PM. I am interested in buying it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Just read that Henry Rollins will be on the show as a regular!

I just got caught up on the 2017 run and am really liking it. I was a HUGE valiant guy back when it hit the 1st time around and Aric was always my favourite.

Excellent news!

all i know is that it will mean the end of my buying Alias and the Defenders (two of only 3 Marvel books I read).

Large price drop on everything left for sale including a really nice Y the Last Man page and a great Alias: Jessica Jones page with Antman (Scott Lang)

Thanks for looking!

Nice! Too bad I just told myself I was out of the game...I would have been all over one of those Preacher pages. Nice stuff and good luck with the sale.

Mathew, sorry to see you go. It appears your sale is going well, since the pages I'd have wanted (100 Bullets, Scalped) are already gone.

Thanks for the kind words and yes the sale is going really well. Just a few more pages to sell.

I am moving out of collecting original art and as a result am selling my collection. You can see everything here

I have priced everything but am open to any and all reasonable offers. Shipping (from Canada to you) will be extra unless we negotiate something.

Thanks for looking and if you have any questions drop me a line.

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.  

I noticed the same thing on a few of your Y pages...I'll gladly help out

Open to best offers on this. Thanks!

For sure numerous times. In fact, there was a Batman piece I actually did buy and when it arrived it had a messed up eye. Small little thing but it bugged me. So, it was the first piece to go when I had to sell to buy something else.

I only ended up buying one piece at NYCC, but it's the one that I had really been hoping to get going in.

That is a thing of beauty! Wow

I'm looking to purchase a Love and Rockets page by Jaime. If you have something you want to sell please let me know.

Thanks!

Looks like someone is trying to use your auction to scam someone...

For sale is the original art from Sleeper #6 page 9 by Sean Phillips with words by Ed Brubaker. The page features Carver and Genocide discussing Carver's sex life with Miss Misery. I'm asking $225 plus actual shipping. Below is a scan of the art and then the original photo sent to me from Sean before he signed it in the margin on the bottom right.

Any questions let me know and thanks for looking!

I try to stick to my personal rule that i buy art from books i have read and enjoyed. The only time this has ever varied is with Batman. However, with Batman art, it needs to be from an published artist i like.
