  1. Schulz up above, McFarlane down below, if I could only choose one which direction should i go?
  2. Heck and Ayers made a hell of a pair!!!!!!
  3. Thinking outside the box. Love the video. The art is lovely.
  4. Five minutes alone in a locked room no cameras. Just five.
  5. I have a Kirby Captain America cover with $100 written on the back. Jack did that intending to sell but instead gifting it. Your instincts to leave it be are correct. It’s a record. Artists write on the back and as you say so did dealers.
  6. Lopresti nailed his DPS wow holy cow!! Greg Land draws larger then life on his DPS !! Gee thanks for sharing those examples. 🍇 🦍
  7. I’ll add it to all my other formulas. This OA collecting is more involved then outsiders could ever understand. 🍇 🦍
  8. The PWJ 7 DPS got my blood racing. Love your DPS collection. The Jim Lee Wolverine ripping across two pages from one of my favorite comic stories was my favorite though. S N I K T
  9. Wow that’s a great one. I loved Billy’s Shi art. I bought all those original issues based on the art with zero knowledge of the storyline. Appreciate you showing the first piece you bought. The Deodato must be special to you not just for the art but story of obtaining it. Cheers
  10. I can't remember a better auction. This one is an absolute stunner. Kirby the all time genius of comic art. Fear DR. DOOM. Jack Kirby and Chic Stone Fantastic Four Annual #2 Splash Page 1 Doctor Doom Original Art (Marvel, 1964). You just don't get may incredible full page vintage early 1960s splash panels of major characters such as this! It was a powerful and moody opening to the tale "The Fantastic Origin of Doctor Doom!" The Monarch of Latveria was a harsh and strict ruler, but this story put a new spin on the dictator and made him an all too human character with foibles and flaws no armor could cover. A special tale crafted by the Lee-Kirby team, and this magnificent page was rendered befittingly at twice-up scale in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 12.5" x 18.75". There are some minor production oil stains in the image area and surrounding margins. In Very Good condition.
  11. Good Grief 68 the year of my birth. Lovely strip.
  12. Jack Kirby and Chic Stone Fantastic Four Annual #2 Story Page 10 Doctor Doom Original Art (Marvel, 1964). A key moment from "The Fantastic Origin of Doctor Doom", as it recaps the explosion that drove a wedge between Victor Von Doom and Reed Richards. It was the same explosion which scarred his face. It's pure magic from the Lee-Kirby era! Rendered at twice-up scale in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 12.5" x 18.5". Toned, with production oil stains in lower panels. In Very Good condition.
  13. Avengers 158 K I R B Y A stunning achievement by the King of Comics
  14. Agreed. Many FF and X-Men have been speculated over FMV for a long time. Congratulations on getting the WBN 32 9.4 as I believe despite the naysayers there is still room for growth. Getting $3555 for the 9.2 had to feel great. I won't bore you but I switched over from comic collecting to original comic art collecting in 1996. I've sold off 98% of my silver age books. I had lost touch with most valuations on books 1970 and up because I'm not a collector in the CGC age. MY WBN 32 honestly is a comic book I bought as a six year old for a quarter. I was hoping to get $130-$150 to cover the grading and commission and pocket some dough. I checked with two weeks to go and it was at $455. I was blown away to get $1289. I called my brother and told him to look through his books and yep! He has WBN 32 and 33. He's going to submit them to C-Link.
  15. I handed off a small stack of books to comiclink for selling in the Last auction. My Werewolf by Night 32 graded a 7.0 Imagine my surprise when the final hammer was $1289. I was unaware of the MCU and series speculation driving this issue as red hot. I thought about $100. It was an unexpected thrill.
  16. FF ANNUAL 2 PAGE 11 KIRBY -- Doom doesn't wait for the mask to cool. This is comic book history. Doom the most compelling and dynamic "villain" in the Marvel Universe. Shame on film makers for failing completely to bring this great character to the big screen properly. " Never again will mortal eyes gaze upon the hideous countenance of Victor Von Doom!" " FROM THIS MOMENT ON, I SHALL BE KNOWN AS.... DOCTOR DOOM!"
  17. Slam dunk buy it if you like it. Great price.
  18. I agree with Batman_Fan on the price range. The seller doesn’t have a set price on it? If you can say more about what your trying to do? Make an offer? Etc. some of the boardies can give you advice on how to make a proper offer. I’m seeing that practice more and more. It’s a neat page. Don’t hesitate to ask for help. There’s a few Jokers on here but the majority on the board are thoughtful. Good luck Rich Buckler is a terrific artist and Joe Sinnott inks insure this to be a nice investment for the soul. Down the road it should hold if not increase in value.
  19. You’re more likely to get front row seats to a Misfits 2020 reunion concert than you are hearing from G Danzig personally. you'd have more luck asking a bro from Los Bros a question without that bro asking other bro for the answer. Some of that art has mummy dust on it sitting there so long. They never returned my phone calls and I used to hang at SDCC talking to Glen during Verotik and when he had splash to Sgt. Fury 13 Theyll take your money but friendly courteous customer service not what they do ....
