Fine Since some boardies don’t like to negotiate, I’ll lowball myself! Mark Jewelers package deal — there’s a dozen of ‘em left in this thread, Defenders/Thor/Ms Marvel, total asks equals $126. With the 20% discount, that’s $100.80. How about $80 for the dozen???

Couple DD upgrades and a nice enough early ASM I didn’t have, so why not?

This was the last Dan page I picked up. Nice inks over Val Semeiks (ASM Echoes) but the back was a real treat to find.

I recently met up with John Hebert to pick up a piece of his, and we were talking about the various pros who, along with John, called the Albany Comic Con their hometown convention. Dan was a regular there too. When his name came up, the first thing John said was, “Dan was too good for comics. His fine art was phenomenal.” I had some sense of this from his Shamballa work. Here is a painting from his recent years.

A taste of Dan’s humor

Into Shamballa page 23, Dan painted the whole graphic novel in watercolors.

I guess I did not post sooner because I did not want to believe it, even though I knew he had health issues. Thank you @Unstoppablejayd for letting me know Monday about Walt Simonson’s post (a touching elegy over on his Facebook page). I also wasn’t sure if I should start a thread here, in Bronze, or in Comics General. I might add linking posts in both places to this thread. I met Dan when I was a high school kid in the 1980’s. There were no comic cons in the area, so I started a comic club and we started having them. Dan graciously attended the first one at the behest of the late Herb Trimpe, and I still have all but one of the pages I bought from Dan that day, as well as a Hulk sketch from Herb that Dan inked that day. Fast forward to a couple years ago — I stopped in an LCS that had a few OA pages on the wall and I immediately noticed one thing in common - all inked by Dan. Sure enough, he was consigning some items. I bought a Batman page and the owner was kind enough to reconnect us. I’d been in regular touch with Dan for the last few years, except for the last couple months. (Health, financial and other challenges converged on him and he moved away and sought a simple life.) Despite what I knew, I’m shocked by his passing because his life energy shone through even when his breath was short. I can’t say everything I’d like in one sitting but that’s the background on how I know him. Goodbye, buddy. You’re probably talking brushstrokes with Al Williamson and Joe Sinnott while inking something Berni Wrightson drew.

Thread is cleaned up; lowballers are getting it done, and I'm changing my boardie name to Aquaman cuz I'm underwater all the time! I'm here all month folks! Keep 'em coming! I'm three for four on yesses with one slight counter/clarification still in a boardie's court! Come an' get 'em! I wanna move 'em!

Talk about a lowballin' this guy could throw a no-hittter! Four tasty pick-ups for The Chef! Thanks David!

(low)Ballin' Fritzi Ritz nn (from Comicdonna's collection before mine) and Smitty #1! Thank you Andy!

Ace lowball Impact #1 (and Fanfare 18)! Thanks Dave!

to see if anyone knows how to knick the edge of the paint with a reeeeeal lowball….the kind so low yet juuuust high enough that I kinda wanna call you an insulting cheapskate for a split second but I take the offer anyway….who can throw that kinda heat around here?

That’s all I have shot tonight, but this stack won’t end….the remainder will be early Modern/late Copper, then I’ll close with a few stalwart Copper keys. Eventually…. Thanks for your patience, Hope you’re enjoying!
