Well, we tried.
Can't believe that I actually remembered (and found) that post to reference.
On 8/12/2019 at 11:43 AM, *Bronze age fan* said:No, that was not it. I knew about that issue having them in it. We were talking about a sign that referenced the Hulk was coming prior to his first appearance.
I know what you're talking about. A lot of people confuse that with the pictures of the Hulk on the wall in Tales of Suspense 33, but that came out in Sept 1962, whereas Hulk 1 was May 1962.
Let me dig around and see if I can find what you're talking about. It was a billboard in the background of one of the stories.
That Millie 107 is awesome though!

Marvel Comics X-Force Annual #9 Cover Color Guide art by Marvel Colorist Marie Javins. One-of-a-kind hand-colored artwork used in the production of the actual 1994 comic book.
Price: $100
It's a beautiful cover featuring Guido battling Power. And yes, I know that the cover info says Issue 3 in the upper left, but this was in fact used as the cover to Annual #9.What is a color guide? After a comic book was drawn, a staff colorist would hand-color photocopies of the artwork, which would be coded and sent to the printer, so that they could match the color appropriately when they printed the comic books. Color guides are becoming increasingly sought after because they represent a one of a kind collectible piece of a comic books actual production.This item is the color guide from the Marvel office, colored by Marie Javins. The art itself also has a clear acetate overlay which has all of the color codes for the printer (see 2nd picture).

JLA 23 (October 1998): Full interior (23 Pages) plus copy of comic book - colors by Pat Garrahy - signed certificate of authenticity included.
Price: $350
This may be one of the most pain-stakingly detailed (OCD?) color guides I've had the pleasure of owning. Pat Garrahy includes a b/w photocopy of the art of each page along with his detailed colorations. In many instances, he wants the comic printer to use textured backgrounds and includes examples of the backgrounds too. A phenomenal example of a color guide, hand colored by the colorist.
Great story features the JLA, Orpheus (Sandman), and Orion.
Here are a few examples of pages from the book. If you want to see additional images, please let me know.

Wizard World Chicago
in Original Comic Art
Posted
Anyone going to Wizard World Chicago? If so, I'll be working at my friend Matt's booth (#508); stop by and say Hi.
There's a sushi dinner being organized Friday night by @TheWatcher so if you're interested in meeting up, check out the thread:
Wizard World Sushi Dinner thread
At this time, there is no organized Saturday boards dinner (a tradition that sadly looks like it ends this year).
I hope to see some familiar and new art collecting faces there!
