    (attempted) Flip of the Day!

    in Original Comic Art

    Posted

    Hello everyone, Dino here (I just heard about this discussion a few minutes ago).  Anyway, I was NOT aware the art was stats.  I purchased on CAF Live from a collector James Bush earlier this year...I had 2 days to find 12 pieces under $2500 for the show and grabbed this cover out of a portfolio. Never examined the art after acquiring it but it didn't appear to be stated.  Thanks everyone for the background info on the piece.

    Sale is ON HOLD until this is resolved.  If the originals were indeed sold at Heritage- I was NOT the buyer-- then I'll cancel the transaction, buyer has not paid yet.

    The piece is packed up for shipment, so I'll open it and examine it.  Here's my scan for what its worth.  It was purchased with a faded/loose title stat so I made a reproduction title stat (Wonder Woman), all esle was as received.

    Drawn This Way with Sergio Aragonés

    Happy Friday folks!

    I wanted to highlight a new creator interview episode "Drawn This Way with Sergio Aragonés" from fellow collectors Mikail and Eranga.  A fresh approach to illustrated storytelling that explores the good, the bad, and the strange of the immigrant experience.  It's the inaugural episode in a fun and thought-provoking series of artist/writer/collector interviews that will deep dive into their unique experiences, and how these may have influenced or translated into their work and/or collecting interests. If you like comics and a fan of Sergio's work (who doesn't right?), check it out using link below.  Enjoy!

    It would be better if he scrawled a bunch of curliques all over the background like the master Frazetta. 

    Meh...it's just an unpublished commission by Italian merchant Francesco del Giocondo. For all we know, Da Vinci painted over blue lines and kept his original pencils to himself lol

    Folks know I'm a fan of 1970s Treasury comics.   Here's a cool half-splash from the 1978 DC Treasury “Superman vs. Shazam”, the epic battle between DC's most powerful superheroes! Superman and Shazam (Captain Marvel) appear together in four panels along with Lois Lane.  Beautifully drawn by Rich Buckler and D. Giordano.
