A bottle of water?

That's already what Moulinsart does, by suing people who use images of Tintin on social networks, artworks or anything else - like this one: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/mar/12/herge-heirs-sue-artist-over-his-tintin-edward-hopper-mash-ups Some European auction houses do not display any picture of Tintin original art anymore, to avoid any potential copyright issue with Moulinsart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hergé_Foundation

I was also hoping to get one of them, but prices skyrocketed! As for the one you mention, sure it's the title page (and a nice one), but it used to be the price for a full story https://comicarttracker.com/don-rosa-original-art-for-sale

Go ahead! You don't need a lot of money, only software development skills and a lot of time!

I'll have to add this guy to ComicArtTracker, thanks for the discovery!

I like this one!

Not the same as seeing original art in person, but that's better than nothing "Will Eisner - Graphic Novel Godfather" (schauraum: comic + cartoon) "Enki Bilal" (Fonds Hélène et Edouard Leclerc)

It's a (nice) print signed by Hergé and Tchang

It sold for $57,000 on ComicLink in June 2019.

Not to split hairs (^^) but: It sold for €3,175,400 not $3M That's not a question of liking the background or not. The editor thought that this cover was too complex and would be too expensive to print, that's why the definitive version is much simpler. It was a prelim, even if it looks like a finished work. You can see that the face of Tintin is not finished, for instance. Plus Hergé fold the illustration and stapled it to the letter sent to the editor (we can still see the small holes). Who would do that to a final cover?

All comic art oriented content is welcome! I also subscribed to your channel and added a few links to your videos in ComicArtTracker's FAQ / Comic Art Collecting Guide! (more specifically in this entry about what comic art is and this one about storing comic art).

These pages have been bought by the Boon foundation for an upcoming museum in Brussels, we can imagine that they should be able to take care of them and you will be able to view them in a physical museum. https://comics.ha.com/heritage-auctions-press-releases-and-news/boon-foundation-for-narrative-graphic-arts-bids-600-000-for-original-art-for-master-race.s?releaseId=3539

Great curation Alex, thanks!

Unfortunately the art I would really love to acquire is now far beyond my reach (b&w Frazetta, Watchmen page, Wrightson Frankenstein page) but I'm still hoping for: - a Jeff Jones published b&w page - a Victor de la Fuente published page - a nice Virgil Finlay illustration - a nice bronze age published page with Galactus - maybe some more published pages from Tim Sale, Darwyn Cooke - some art I'm not aware of yet but would catch my eye

A lot of pieces sold for far more than $50k. A Miyazaki shikishi sold for $31M (roughly $300k) in 2018 (see here). An Astro Boy page by Osamu Tezuka sold for 269k€ (roughly $328k), also in 2018 (see here). @Varanis You sometimes find high-end pieces on Heritage and Artcurial, but as others said, your best chance to find manga-related stuff (such as shikishis) is with Mandarake auctions. They have what they call "Everyday auctions" (similar to eBay auctions but with a 5mn time extension system and no buyer's premium) and "Big Web auctions" (every two months, similar to Heritage auctions - live auctions with a prebid period, you need to pay a $5 participation fee to be allowed to bid and buyer's premium is 10%). You can follow both of them on ComicArtTracker Edit: there's a few Tezuka lots on the next Artcurial auction (lots 223-226) - https://www.artcurial.com/en/sale-4027-comic-strips

@Rick2you2 Please PM me if you ever get it again (with a screenshot if you can). @RBerman I just pushed a fix (hopefully). Please tell me if it's ok now! @vodou Same as Rick2You2: please PM me when you get it again, with a screenshot if you can and the URL of the page.

It's not about complaining, it's about helping me to improve ComicArtTracker! If nobody tells me about bugs, they may stay here for a long time. So please send me a message when you find something that looks like a bug. Maybe I won't be able to do anything, but I won't take it personally and at least I'll be aware of it. Regarding your different points: eBay images: Twanj is right about Chrome not accepting anymore to display images that are not served securely on secured websites. That's why you won't see images from some websites on CAT (websites hosted by CAF were also in this case a few weeks ago, so you could see the images on these websites, but not on CAF or CAT). But that's not the case with eBay - they do serve secured images. For eBay the issue is different. I have it from time to time, and when I google about it it seems like it's a known bug on eBay side for at least a few years... can't do anything about it unfortunately! Catawiki items with no text: I don't have this one when I open the Catawiki page (https://comicarttracker.com/catawiki/available-art, text search on "diabolik"), your screenshot was from which page? the page with your daily matching new items? the one about Catawiki auctions? a search results page? (if you can still reproduce it). And what happens if you click on the image to see it fullscreen? Do you have the title at the bottom of the page?

Never easy to fix something when I cannot reproduce it. Do you see any suggestion from Chrome on top of the ones from CAT? I mean, do you have something displayed that should not be here and could "catch" the simple click? I ask that because I just saw that, with Safari, I have the default drop-down menu with suggestions from Safari on top of mines (see below). So do you have something similar?

Thanks for your kind words! The "Trends" page is a new feature from November. I don't track traffic but Google does it for me. It's roughly 40% US, 20% France, 5% UK, 5% Belgium, 5% Canada, 5% Italy (then Spain, Germany, Netherlands...) When I click on a suggestion, it directly opens the search page with the related query (for instance kirby -rip for Jack Kirby), and it's the same if I select it with arrows + enter. I'm on a Mac with Chrome. What is your config?

Should be fixed. Should be fixed. Can you detail? Is it the exact same entry (on a same source), or is it someone who posted the same art on different eBay websites (eg different countries)?

Richard Corben is one of the most searched artists on ComicArtTracker this month (7th) and one of the best progressions (2nd) - unfortunately for a really sad reason https://comicarttracker.com/trends?progression

In fact that's not the same thing: yes I fixed a bug this week-end on searches not working anymore (my bad, it was a stupid mistake) but ZimmermanTelegram is right, I just checked and it's not possible to add a new fav through the Favorite Searches page. New major versions always get their share of regressions, sorry for that, I will hopefully fix it in a couple of hours max.

You're right, it seems like it's increasing too quickly. I'll check that, thanks for having spotted this!

Sold for $240k two years ago on Heritage... https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/covers/gene-colan-and-bill-everett-iron-man-and-sub-mariner-1-cover-original-art-marvel-1968-/a/7189-92042.s
