Scot Eaton is so underrated. Everything I've ever seen by him is just great.

I wouldn't buy it if you don't enjoy the artwork. But, I do think he's got a pretty unique art niche and his most iconic stuff is going to go up in value. I'd stick with his I Hate Fairyland art, and his marvel covers.

All this does is show that early adopters got the benefit of the market. We are now in the later stages of the bubble.

Ahhh. OK. She was also there in 2016.

Wait. She was at the Motor City Comicon in 2019? I didn't see her.

I posted this link way back when it was first published.

Interesting addendum to this, but I saw Ron Lim at a Con several months ago and asked him why Perez quit drawing IG. There's been a lot of speculation over the years about it. Lim said that Jim Starlin finally asked Perez about it at a con, and Perez simply said he was too busy working on Wonder Woman, as he was both writing and drawing that book.

Her best work is on her creator-owned title with Greg Rucka, Black Magick.

I'm sure it happens.

Yeah. This never happens to me.

So nice. I love Whisper.

“Buy” did you say?

Saw it happen with Preacher art, which has started to deflate from its TV show highs. Also Walking Dead art.

Sandman art is experiencing a “TV show coming out soon” speculation bubble. It genuinely deserves a premium for being high quality and related to a beloved and respected comic series. But not at this rate of increase.

I am considering saving up for a big piece (for me) this year. Not sure what, but I have a few ideas. I really want a Bolland page, and that will probably be my goal. Finding a good one that I can afford.

I don't think it's necessary to include the price paid for a piece. As long as it's under the limit, that's fine. I had to withdraw a piece I posted because I forgot how much I paid for it, and it exceeded the limit! (Oops!). So I posted a replacement.

What about shipping costs?

Pretty hard to top that one. What were the editors and artist thinking?

It's still misleading, as the Comic art in question has nothing to do with Blue Devil's first appearance, except for a text reference to the "insert." That said, $26 for that page is comically (ahem) LOW. All the same, it's not a $399 page either. Probably in about the $150-$175 range. Maybe $200 on a really good day.

Green Lantern art from the 80's and early 90's doesn't seem to fetch as much as you would expect. Although that's mostly Hal Jordan and John Stewart pages. Maybe guy Gardner carries a premium? I can see this maybe making $500 on eBay, though.

Felix. I appreciate your Drop system in terms of fairness. My only issue with it is that you should allow people to pre-register their payment and mailing information so all they have to do is select the page they want and submit it to you for 1st come/1st serve review. I feel like I have lost out on some pages just because I had to type in information into my request form. I have no way of knowing that for certain, but it seems so. In any case, I have won some, and lost some. I particularly regret not getting any Tradd Moore art from Silver Surfer Black, but I realize that you are not playing favorites with anyone, so I'm sure even some of your friends in the hobby missed on out some pages. I recognize that my "issue" above is a technical; one, and that there may be technical reasons for why your site works the way it does. So, take the comments in the constructive vein they were intended. As I commented in a previous post, I actually read the comic the art is from before I buy it - for the most part. There is a lot of art in this hobby that has great eye appeal, but the story and characters are very pedestrian and the art doesn't have any meaning beyond its superficial qualities. That said, there are some pieces that are so outstanding that their technical and artistic merit outweighs any story or character issues. Also, you should tell your BSD pals to pony up for an entire issue if they don't want to compete with the hoi polloi for individual pages. Most of us ham and eggers can't spend the 5 figures it would take to buy an entire issue, so they should have a much easier time of it.

I bought several Extremity pages by DWJ. I saw them on Felix's site, and liked them. BUT....I did not buy any until I read the actual comic they were from, and understood what the pages meant to the story, and who the characters were. I discovered that a few of the big fight scene & battle pages were visually interesting, but not as important to the story. I wound up buying some pages I thought were of more important characters, and storylines. I think DWJ did an incredible job on Extremity, and have not read his WW book yet, although I intend to. I was not attracted to Murder Falcon, though. The character and story didn't interest me as much as Extremity did.

Next time I see Jeremy, I'm going to get a piece from him somehow. I just love his work.

Even John Byrne, the art collector, gets recreations. But, he makes sure to request that there is a subtle, recognizable, difference in the piece to delineate that it is a recreation and not the original.

To pick up a Bastian piece this good for under $500 is incredible. Even if unpublished. Congrats on this. It’s amazing.
