My first page was a John Byrne Champions page. I bought it from a for sale page post in a newsgroup it was in 1997. Do people recall those groups? My first pieces were bought there not that long before I bought my art from eBay. I do not own it anymore:

Wow cool and rare to see such a complete seventies book by Sal! Thanks to share.

Great short summary Glen! Love the photo!

Enjoy the page Dan! Eelco

With this kind of art I guess I am totally out of the loop, I had really no idea what this is about.

From a favorite nostalgic story of mine and love the Sinnott inks in this story. And also very sweet first panel.

Terrific page Glen, these early pages are so cool!

Which reminds me of the time when several of those Rom books were sold for the first time in 2002. I had the chance to pick up early complete Rom stories including the annual with the X-Men back then but my interest was and still is in his Hulk art. So I passed at the Rom art....hmmm..

Happy birthday Sal! Thank you for many great comics and fond memories.

Wow awesome! I recall seeing that image and always loved it!

A topic I like My grail Defenders piece by Sal: https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=857162

Exactly looking at the X-Men 137 I feel it is a shame they were added in the past couple of years.

For me Byrne's Dr Doom is a big favorite. Here is a great page by him with Dr Doom: It is from the two parter FF 246&247. Eelco

There is not much talk ( if any) about the Kirby Journey into Mystery cover. It is a very bold cover image, large art and Wood inking. I think an impressive piece. Still 155k is a lot of cash. And the Thor image is small. ( Would a larger Thor image then go for 200-250K ) Is this the result of "image is king( even though the main image is not Thor)" combined with the "Kirby/Wood" combination? Just wondering ....

Still a classic story. And cool cover.

ASM 98 and Green Lantern 76 I am a fan of visually appealing comic art. So Adams has more appeal to me than Kane. But wow look at this ASM 98 cover. To me this is about the best execution of layout and suspense in an ASM cover. The tilted layout, the falling Spidey and cornering menacing Green Goblin are the best. I like this more than ASM 97 and that has a larger image and is Romita. Adding that this is all from the classic run(before Andru took over, no disrepect to him, he is my nostalgic spidey artist) with a classic villain the Green Goblin. Just that this is Kane stopped the price at this level I think. Green Lantern for me that is just historic comic importance and then anything can happen happen. And yeah sorry I am also in the camp that feel the cover art image itself has not that much visual appeal. Eelco
