    Yeah, this is my point. There's no formula around it and it's impossible to apply one that covers everything, or even half of everything. If someone is buying art based on a formula like this, they should probably hold off and familiarize themselves better before they drop 3x value on a cover just because it's a cover.

    Quality / moment being equal: Cover > splash > variant cover > regional variant cover, IMO. What's happening, who's present, and visuals are very important [to me]. Look at the DPS of the Supes/Batman fight from Hush VS the 617 cover. Went for the exact same price, down to the dollar. That said, the BvS image was a whole lot better IMO. I think it's too difficult to affix a formula that would generally apply. There's too many exceptions, and some comics where covers and splashes are equal. Look at Long Halloween, splashes are way better/typically go for more than the covers due to the simplicity/object nature of the covers.

    Thanks. Yeah. Everything looks fast but intentional, love the energy of his work.

    Picked up my second favourite piece from the run http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1414355 So, with the exception of the 880 Joker cover, I am no longer looking for any other pieces. Thanks.
  5. Mr. Machismo
    Wut.
  6. Mr. Machismo
    Wow. That's by far and away the most ridiculous pricing I've heard of, for anything, comic art or otherwise. No longer ISO Toriyama artwork lol!
  7. Mr. Machismo
    Interesting. Thanks for the insight, Felix. Good to know and appreciated.
  8. Mr. Machismo
    I think you added an extra 0. Goku went for 4K, but that's still super ridiculous.
  9. Mr. Machismo
    Thanks guys. Yeah, tons of issues, often weekly...not a single page to be found? Publisher lockup seems likely. Appreciate the help.

    Anyone know if there's any Dragon Ball or DBZ manga artwork or paintings out there? I've been unable to find a single lead. I recall reading there is a stigma around a Japanese artist selling his comic artwork, but I'm not sure if that's true. I'm also interested in Dragon Ball Super artwork by his successor, but I've read he works digital. Unsure if there's exceptions. All of this is just surprisingly difficult to track down, so I question if it's even possible. Not interested in cels. Cheers.
  11. Mr. Machismo
    Wow. Ludicrous.
  12. Mr. Machismo
    So good. A+ Killing Joke page, if a Killing Joke page alone wasn't enough!
  13. Mr. Machismo
    I actually just acquired this piece Thankfully I only had to sell a few pieces of my collection and not all of it. Never thought it would happen Will post in a couple months
  14. Mr. Machismo
    Bump.
  15. Mr. Machismo
    Hey, thanks so much, that's very kind and helpful of you. I am aware of it, but I do not collect convention sketches (or commissions, for the most part) and am primarily looking for splashes and covers from Black Mirror. I have access to other Jock work but have a specific focus. But thank you
  16. Mr. Machismo
    He does not. I've talked to him and he primarily has filler, non-main character pages left. He sold it years ago but still had the scan for the print. Thanks, though!
  17. Mr. Machismo
    Indeed. Bump.
  18. Mr. Machismo
    Hehe. She said the same thing when I received a Long Halloween splash and Dark Victory cover.
  19. Mr. Machismo
    I have the gallery edition of Dark Knight Returns on my coffee table, with the iconic splash as the cover. When my wife first walked by it, she said "Ew! I can draw better than that!"
  20. Mr. Machismo
    Bump.
  21. Mr. Machismo
    Nope. Appreciate the help, though. Will let you know if I hear back.

    What's your fascination with 700, out of curiosity?
  24. Mr. Machismo
    Please mark NSFW. Naked women is NOT comic artwork, and some people try to avoid such imagery.
  25. Mr. Machismo
    Wow @ 9K finch. Hush page went strong as well.
