Centimeters? What are those?
What, you have something against the metric system now? You’ve been here too long!

If you mean Peter Gross pages, you might try him directly: https://www.petergrossart.com/purchasing-artwork/

Not sure about all of his books, but with Locke & Key I know he sold some covers. Pretty sure he held onto all or most of the interiors though, so it could very well be that way with a lot of his art. Have you tried contacting him directly through social media?
-
If McFarlane had just held onto his artwork there would have been no organic birth and growth of his market to what we see it as today. If pieces are not traded, and do not generate a market of their own based on actual sales, asking prices are simply esoteric demands and not tangible facts relied upon by a collectors as a real "market".
This.
And referencing the Jim Lee market again, if we had not "seeded" some of our Hush art early on (for what seemed like aggressive prices at the time but relatively cheap now), we would not have cultivated a market price point progression. Valuations are not usually very meaningful when created in a vacuum.

The key is to curate your own work, holding the best back -for posterity -for IDW (not that anybody knew fifteen, twenty and more years ago) -for exhibition -for creating "context" for the (lower) prices you ask for 'lesser' pieces -for cashing out (ultimately).
In the fine art world the role of figuring this out is often the dealer's, leaving the artist to create and grow, create and grow, etc. Unfortunately the self-employed DIY nature of comics (and illustration) work means the artist has to wear both hats, or pull a good friend or significant other in to help.
If you have a sense you'll be making comics for a good long time (which used to be the case, not so much these days), then go in with open eyes and protect yourself and your market. Nobody else will. And railing for implementation of droit de suite won't do much for you as it will likely not be retroactive anyway.
Capullo has it sort of right and sort of wrong. Yes hang onto Batman #1 (and the others too, if you want) but let 'some' pages go, let 'other' covers go...move the market up slowly (at primary) the same way a good dealer would (or gosh Greg GET a good dealer?!!) and reap the correct rewards (where demand meets supply, for a price) over time. $50k w/o context is just a number. And the kind that very few have to begin with. And even fewer (none) will spend in a vacuum.
It doesn’t sound like it is important to him to have fans own his work nor to sell it. He generates it, and he owns it. He more than likely doesn’t need the money so what’s the point of selling it? He can take it out back like Sam Kieth does and light it on fire if he wants to.
He claims that his site will offer original art. I guess this is something he's been saying for quite some time without result, but who knows? Maybe we'll see some pages posted for sale in 2016.
-
All the store variants are for the debut of the first issue only. I think a handful of them are pretty cool. I just wish more artists I dig would get involved. Would love to see Sam Kieth's take on it. Tim Sale's cover resonated with me. Iconic and my favorite so far. I hope DK III does well but I'm disappointed it's not all Frank art and story. I would rather Frank take another shot at it. I am really only excited for the mini-comic that at least has all his art.
Are you sure that these are for the first issue only? I was under the impression that there'd be more coming. In fact, haven't some artists already made a second varient?
-
It would drive me nuts not having the inks to pair with that pencil page since they were sold as a pair.

From Frank Miller's Sin City Volume 7: Hell and Back. I love the contrast of the inks with the white mat. Simple but clean.

I'm extremely interested to see if he puts any Batman pages up. To my knowledge he hasn't specified what pages he'll be putting up whatsoever. And of course there's the pricing which remains a mystery. Should be interesting.
-
I would be very surprised if that website was for selling his original art. I doubt you will see much of if any of that. Probably more for promotion and blogging. I spend a lot of time on caf but not on message boards. What does *cough* mean?
He has directly stated on Twitter multiple times that he will be selling original art on the new site.
-
Great minds think alike! I was just about to post mine, but thought I'd add them to the Scalped thread as I doubt many Scalped fans are even aware of these painted covers yet!
Congrats on the fantastic pick-ups!
You too, Court. I can't say enough good things about that Red Crow cover. Just gorgeous!
-
Got a big time acquisition in the mail today, (for me anyway). It's the Scalped Deluxe Hardcover Book One hand-painted by R. M. Guera. If you're a fan check it out. It's really a beautiful piece of artwork.

I couldn't help but grab this page with Dash hunched over his mother's grave along with it. I'm going to be broke for a long time.
-
Loving these. Keep them coming!

Just posted a pair of Scalped pages by R. M. Guera to my CAF. The first one features Catcher and Red Crow showing Red Crow's animal totem chained dead to his side.
http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1176491&GSub=161907
The second shows Dash through Catchers eyes covered in Spiders, Dash's animal totem.

Such a great use of symbolism by Jason Aaron. R. M. Guera's use of black and whites are just fantastic too. In my opinion he has to be one of the very best modern artists!

Really intersting piece and quite possibly the coolest Adlard WD art I've ever seen. That is in my humble opinion of course, and I am not the seller. I really have no clue what a piece like this could go for as it's so unique. Anyone know what it was used for or thoughts on the price?
Did you guys see this sold? I'm surprised it took as long as it did. Really a nice piece at what I'd consider a reasonable price. I'm also very interested to see how this ends:

It's been some time since I've seen a nice early Adlard page like this auctioned off.

Combining the topic of "Do first appearances matter to YOU" with an A-Level PREACHER page thread, does the 1st "appearance" on PREACHER 09 Page 06 make it
A-Level?
I don't think it does. This, to me, is a case of hyping up whatever is on the page to make it more appealing. We'll see what the 6+ bidders have to say about it in a few days.
I'm with you, but it's definitely getting some healthy bidding already with 5 days to go.

I don't think it would last as TV show, unless they can really condense the content of the first 30 or so issues. Ratings is always king, 100 bullets really takes a while to get going, and the majority of the audience would be people who have not read 100 bullets, and lot of people decide to dump tv show after first few episodes (even after only the first episode) because there is so much competition on tv
I completely disagree. I think if you have a different suitcase proposition in each episode while slowly introducing some of the Minutemen mythos audiences would be hooked early.

James just answered for me. I don't know who would shill on items of this caliber. I wanted to sell the item... not have a friend get stuck as the winner.
To be clear I wasn't trying to sound accusatory and in no way think you were involved in any shilling. I'm just trying to get a better handle on an incredible sale. You and James both have plenty to be happy about!
