  1. Smart move to get them all at once. Really good storyteller and a neat ending. Guys off the charts talented.
  2. These are Timm at the height of his power. So so good!!!!!!
  3. For what it's worth I emailed the seller. See his reply below. New message from: devizioncomics (652) got this from Bruce at the San Diego Comic 2015 yes for 2 sketches Reply Your previous message Hi just a few questions. Did you get these from Bruce directly? Also this auction is for two sketches? One of Harley and one Joker? Thanks for your time..Mike
  4. This is brilliant. I have let Mike know he really got a special piece.
  5. Yeah I've heard the same thing. Very fun show though. If they would cut out the fake Chumlee bits they could spend more time showing us interesting items.
  6. Very envious of Rick. My main love is original comic art. But anyone who was a kid in the last 50 years remembers this story. I'd love to have just one piece of the art rick got hold of. Thanks for posting this.
  7. I don't know the science, but I think your instincts are correct. Why take a chance? Damned if you don't learn something new every day. Translated to "something to worry about."
  8. Moebius Superheroes. I hated the way he drew them when I was a kid. I remember an IronMan that to me looked like he was strung out on heroine. I've reversed my position. Especially on Silver Surfer. I disliked his Surfer but today I'm fascinated by his work. He was simply ahead of his time and I just didn't understand what he was doing. Truly was a master!!!
  9. I was waiting for you to chime in with good common sense! Romita is not a slug artist easily interchangeable with other artists on Spidey. There was a magic in what he brought to ASM. He elevated the way we look at Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Opinions are opinions yet it seems silly to insist upon a certain artistic mediocrity concerning Jazzy Johnny. Hall of Fame, MVP whatever. John is above this I believe but he is an all star always!!!
  10. Ha ha!! I just watched this movie again last night. Totally applies.
  11. Looks great!! Welcome to the wonderful world of OA collecting!
  12. K I R B Y Prime!!!!! Bombshell effect on my nerves y senses. Cheers!
  13. So many great pages in this book. Your page is a Galactic dandy with all that Surf action! Add a dash of Lee, Kirby and Sinnott and sizzle up a gourmet drool fest to entertain the collecting mob.
  14. "No disrespect....but". I love that put down, Those gifted to create like Humble Jazzy john Create beautifully. Than..we have you. Dismissive critic. ASM 100 Cover was always the ASM cover most of us pegged as a giant. Iconic imagery burned to the brain by a "more than stellar artist " I assure you. Get hold of Romita back issues and do your homework. You simply don't get a free pass to drag down a great comic artist to mere pedestrian bullpen run of the mill guy.
  15. The sixties were a tumultuous time. Jack Kirby had the courage to create and promote a Black character that all Marvel fans could admire and root for.He was a leader, a royal I would've fought for as a kid. He was a leader and extremely intelligent. And he looks ultra damn cool. A force of nature. These pencils are brilliant. I studied so many non inked Kirby art works. The JKC was instrumental in that pleasure. There is nothing like owning a piece like this one above. The Black Panther exploded in popularity because he is a character long overdue for recognition. Congrats to the mats on this one. Never sell this one man.
  16. Mike is a true professional. He puts so much detail into the work. It was a winning bid you had to make. Congratulations!!
  17. The Rude Nexus page is a barn burner. That's a really great page. I'm just learning about Sock Monkey but it looks like a winner.Glad your happy and appreciative that you shared!
  18. Really good to see SECollector get a CGC fist bump for his 1st OA. This is the side of collectors that can preserve and promote goodwill to the newly initiated. I'm so pumped up for SECollector and glad to see most everybody encouraging him.
  19. SECollector getting his first page is what it's all about. Of course I always defer to Mike when it comes to $250 FMV on a Bagley Spidey page. My quesstimate of $200 (a couple hundred bucks) was in the ball park. Mike knowing the pages so well ads value as yes Hottie Felicia Hardy shares that top panel with micro Spidey. For $50 investment you get to hold your first OA piece in your hands and admire the work the artist(s) put on a page. Cheers SECollector!!!!
  20. Congratulations SECollector! Your first OA page and inexpensive. It can be addictive just ask everyone on here. Spend your money wisely and love what you buy!!!
  21. $50-$60 I would pay for sure. That one Spidey panel alone worth it. Bagley helped create Carnage and was very popular during his 90's run. I think if you can get that would be great.
  22. Not sure of the FMV but in terms of pure history and coolness... Four stars.
