  1. Hello folks,

    as many of you might know, I am a Sandman collector (run 1/75); I am willing to trade a page from my collection for a very fine example of V for Vendetta and/or Miracleman/Marvelman by the original writer (Totleben or Davis). Watchmen is part of the game too, but I fear the value of the good pages is too high.

    You can find mu collection here https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerydetail.asp?gcat=47928

    Ciao and stay safe!

  2. Hello fellow collectors,

    as some of you might know, I am a huge Sandman fan and I try to buy all the published art I can from the 1/75 storyline... But sometimes I need to remind myself I am a Vertigo-boy and I grew up while reading some incredible storylines. The British invasion was my cup of tea and I remember fondly the days spent in my local comic shop while buting/talking about these books!

    Please find here attached:

    1) Preacher page from issue 20 - two eyed Jesse with a cig and Tulip. That was just before he went to save Cass in Masada, leaving her alone AGAIN. A nice trade with Albert that didn't end up in a blooshed. Fun, fast and super enjoyable. Do you think this might be an A page? Almost there?

    2) Invisibles vol II from issue 16 - King Mob and Ragged Robin with a bomb. Nothing better that Morrison's craziness on this perfect Weston's title/splash page. I can't  thank Simon M. enough for helping me out with scoring this piece (wasn't easy, wasn't easy. I owe you one, man).

    Any comment on CAF ia always welcome.

    Ciao,

    Luca from a quarantined Italy

  3. Thanks J.Sid for linking me this topis which I was unable to find after many years.

    After re-reading the whole topic, I can say this page is definitely not an A page as some elements are missing (SoK, basically) but it is extremely dark and noir, from a great storyline (Proud Americans), intense moment (Jesse finally learns how Genesis was born - straight from the mouth of an Angel, Genesis' father) and incredible art by Dillon (great use of shadows).

    I dare say it is a solid B+ then, but I am extremely happy about it.

  4. Thank you J.Sid for your opinion and for having quoted the topic I was looking for. I will re-read it all.

    I thought there was an A++ category, but my memory didn't serve properly; and yes, if you value A pages between 3/5K, this page is definitely not an A.

     

    I said an A-- but then it might be a B+. But I am happy with that.

     

    PS: I prefer early Dillon.

     

  5. Hello folks.

    here is a purchase I completed before this covid-19 situation exploded in Italy.

    I remember there was a topic about Preacher art and how to classified it (A++, A, B and so on), but I can't find it anymore.

    I reckon this is an A/A-/A-- page as some elements are missing (SoK or use of the word) but it is extremely dark and noir, from a great storyline (Proud Americans), intense moment (Jesse finally learns how Genesis was born - straight from the mouth of an Angel, Genesis' father) and incredible art by Dillon (great use of shadows); what do you think?

  6. Simon, he is a black hole collector. He never shows his pages to anybody and I was lucky that for some weird reasons he had his name printed next to this page when it was displayed.

     

    Eric, I like a game of you but it is not my favourite storyline (better than the kindly ones). I know not many people like it but gaiman is very fond of it. I love Barbie tough.
