All-American Comics #61 (DC, 1944) CGC FN- 5.5 Off-white to white | Lot #92005 | Heritage Auctions (ha.com)

 

Same book sold for $11,651.25 in 2018.  $14,400.00 in 2023.  Seems like a good very good deal.

I agree with you too and that's why I have a copy 

When I first saw the cover of WM5 back in 1995 or so, listed in a CBG auction, I thought that it encapsulated the lurid nature of pre-code books into a single image. I dreamed of having one some day.  It took a while

Weird Mysteries 5 is more gross, but 4 has the Skull Cover^TM and Zanti Misfits going for it.  This value seems like a pretty big jump, but if it sticks, 4 seems to be closing the gap in price.

There were sales of  a 4 in Feb for $10k and a 5, also in Feb for $9K

I have been a fan of Weird Mysteries for a long time and have always thought that Weird Mysteries 5 was the superior book.  I think it's a better cover, has a longer Wolverton story (6 pages instead of 3), and also includes a historic essay on comic book censorship by the publisher.  I think that it's one of the most significant horror books from the pre-code era.

Steranko at one time had almost everything that had been published, but has sold work since.  He still has a big chunk of his Marvel work, which was used for the Artist Edition.  Hopefully we see Volume 2.

Big result on that Weird Mysteries 4. $43k on a 7.0...

I was surprised to see this result.  This book has really taken off.  How does Weird Mysteries 5 compare to 4 now?

To answer my own question, this WM4 River City copy sold for $6142 per point and a WM5 4.0 sold for $2250 per point in February.  Not a pedigree though.  Northford WM5 in 5.5 sold for $4145 per point in September 2022.

He hasn't been here since September and I wanted to get in touch.  If you are able to help, please send a PM.

Thanks!

SOLD!  Thanks, David!  PM sent.

UNSEEN SHADOWS - Jim Steranko (Supergraphics, 1978)

This scarce book details Steranko's multi-year odyssey to illustrate the 27 different painted covers that he created for the Shadow paperback series between 1975 and 1978. Completely written, designed, illustrated and published by Steranko in 1978. This is a seldom seen gem. Unseen Shadows contains 50 pages of pencilled prelims for each cover, some paintings have multiple prelims. Not reprinted in any other volume! A beautiful book for a fan of Steranko's amazing Shadow paintings. Full color covers with b&w interiors.   Includes text by Jim about the Shadow paperback paintings... didn't include photos of the text pages here.

Cardstock cover with tanning on inside of cover (typical of this book due to paper quality). Pages are in excellent condition and are not tanned at all. Only the slightest edge wear. Cover colors are beautiful. VF condition. Killer book!  The interior photographs do not have creases... the lines are shadows caused by my multiple ceiling light fixtures.

$145  NOW $135 postpaid to US address

Given that it was a donation coupled with the donor wishes to remain anonymous rules out every single Original Comic Art Dealer and OCA Collector I've ever personally met.   Whoever it was is a true philanthropist

 

To add to that, if the donor was looking for a tax deduction via the donation, wouldn't there have to be an independent appraisal of the art?  That would require that dealers would be involved, and I highly doubt any of them would have kept this secret.  So my point it, the donor was likely a true philanthropist who not only didn't sell the pages, but didn't seek a tax deduction for it.

One of my favorite romance covers.

Or in this case, 52 different NFT tokens for this digital image by Jock:

Each edition (essentially each NFT) was sold for $499.

 

 

 

Very interesting that he doesn't even mention the character's name:

"The plot deepens. A homage to one of the world’s most iconic villains - a new perspective into the life of a notorious, perhaps misunderstood, bad guy through painterly, emotional presentation of this beloved (and feared) character. This series inspires deep introspection and reflection on concepts of good vs evil, calling attention to how both entities manifest within each of us."

I don’t know for sure, but that is my assumption based on the aspect ratio of the book.
