Invisibles by Chris Weston is on hold.

Hello folks,

after many years in our hobby I have decided to follow some other interests and projects in my life; for this reason, I am starting to consider selling what is left of my collection, apart from a couple of pieces (manara, toppi, bachalo’s death and hewlett). I prefer dealing privately with other collectors and discuss about our passion (and probably loose some money) rather than consign the art to auction houses.

IMHO we are talking about some great art here, so don’t expect to buy and flip the next day. 

I have some numbers in mind, but haven’t had the time to do a proper due diligence. These pieces won’t be offered anywhere but here for the next days, then a couple of them (or maybe more or maybe all) will be published in my booth during the next CAF live (may 2024).

The first page that comes with a price tag is the Steve Dillon page from preacher 20; you can find it here.

Yes, you can, but it’s not the same thing, right?

full disclosure: I sold two pages from THCOL a few years ago. One went for nearly the same price as this ‘postcard’ art piece, while the other was a multi panel panel with large images of Death- it went for  $ tens of thousands.

 

I have traded a very nice THCOL page before covid for 10/15K max and it was a very good example. Dunno what page can fetch 60k from the mini. Again, I have a wonderful example and am ready to sell for that amount. 

I hope you agree that the season of mist page result is out of this world.

You thought the Death was 6-7x your expectations?

This image was published and republished everywhere.  It was far more than just ‘postcard art’ and it’s one of the top two images of Death.

I was thinking $30K was the bare minimum for this piece.

additionally, the Season of Mists page also did remarkably well at $60K.  So even with all of the Sandman artwork available over the past year, the market seems to be absorbing it favourably 

 

It is an iconic piece for sure. But you can get a page from THCOL for a fraction of that price. Personally, being into storytelling and art (and being sandman a lot about word building) I prefer panel pages over illustrations. I had stalked David in the past in order to acquire this piece but he never wanted to sell. 

that sandman piece is great but 60k is bonkers. I have A better piece from that storyline. For that amount I would definitely sell.

I just wanted to laugh at myself a bit and was truly shocked how much the final was...55k before BP

I thought I had some experience and expertise about sandman and its related material. This image fetched at least 6/7X my expectations.

man, I am out.

Let’s revisit after the auction ends.

You are probably right, already at 10k.

WOW!

I had it between the $4K-$6K range

Slightly higher, imho, but not over 10k.

small piece, second mini, but iconic.

Nope.  It will go for many multiples of that.

I dunno.

i was going to bid on that page, but 5/8k was my price range. For 10k you can buy a HCOL page.

What a wonderful page. For anyone with an Iranian friend in their 50s or 60s who was forced to leave after the revolution in 79, this graphic novel is a must-read to gain even the smallest understanding of how badly their world was torn apart. Persepolis is a devastating tale of the betrayal of a smart and talented people, and 40+ years has not dimmed the hurt and pain behind it.

That is exactly what this GN is about, but it’s told through the eyes of a young girl who doesn’t understand what is happening around her. And why it is happening. It is something absolutely stunning. A real masterpiece.
 

Hello folks,

I don't know if many of you are familiar with this masterpiece, but I am more than happy to add such a signifcant page to my collection.

Persepolis page 68

If you feel like reading all my usual long comment, I sincerely hope it will make you consider buying the book.

Cheers,

Luca

Hello folks,

A really nice Tank Girl pin up by Jamie Hewlett was sold on eBay just two days ago. I was flying when the auction ended, so I wasn't able to purchase the piece.

If you have any leads about the winner of the auction, I will be more then delighted to shoot him a message! 

Hope you can help me out!

Ciao Carlo,

I will meet you there. Long time no see!

Good evening folks,

I was just wondering if this incredible convention is known outside of Europe. It started slow before COVID, then stopped (as everything else), then reappeared with an incredible cast of guests and dealers (https://lccaf.com/it/home/). I think Steve Morger is behind it, with the help of Frank Cho, Enrico Salvini and many others.

I will be there on Saturday the 13th; is somebody from this group attending as well?

Ciao

Everything that's been offered to you, you have refused or have some excuse, so this is some kind of fishing expedition and you never had any intention of buying any Doom Patrol art. 

Everything that's been offered to you. One page. Yours. No one else contacted me.

On 3/20/2023 at 11:39 PM, Michael Browning said:

Doesn’t matter what you offer or tell him about, he doesn’t really want to buy any Doom Patrol art. I offered him mine and he said he was ONLY buying Case art, despite the fact that he says in his original post that he will buy any artists’ work.

Oh well, i was just trying to be polite. I don't like your page.

Anyway  I was looking for someone who wants to sell or trade, while you contracted me saying "i never considered selling, but i am open to offers". 

Have a nice day.

Good morning folks,

does anybody know a fellow collector called Allen Richardson? I tried to contact him on CAF with no success; his page has been updated many moons ago.

Thanks for the help!

Not sure if you've seen these:

First pages from Morrison's first issue on DP:

https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1873353

DP #21 cover from Morrison's initial arc.

https://www.comicartfans.com/ForSaleDetails.asp?ArtId=8419243

Awesome pages but definitely not cheap. 

thanks for the heads up, but I already knew what was available for sale on CAF.

Hopefully someone with a page or a cover, will read this topic and will contact me!

Ciao!

Hello folks,

I am looking to add to my collection a nice example from Grant Morrison's run on the Doom Patrol.

Any artist is fine for me, but preferably Case. Favorite caracther Crazy Jane. But I will consider anything.

A Bisley cover would be a grail. And a bolland cover...

Hit me up, payments in cash are immediate.

We can discuss trades, if you want, with high profile pages.

here is my CAF.

cheers, Luca 

Hello folks,

I am on the hunt for a nice Darwyn piece; doesn't matter if published or not, but it has to feature some main DC hero (no Parker or Jonah Ex or Spirit).

Catwoman is definitely my favourite.

Here is my CAF in case you prefer some trade/partial trade over straight sale!
