I think the parallel to look at is comic strip art. There are a dozen classic strips that still retain value and are appreciating, such as Peanuts, Raymond Flash Gordon, Krazy Kat, Little Nemo, etc. But former superstar strips like Pogo are fading. Other than the classics I listed above, the strips that are appreciating are the more recent ones such as Calvin & Hobbes. Based primarily on the fact that the fans of those strips are reaching peak earning age. Now, C&H May achieve classic status like Peanuts, etc but it’s too soon to tell, IMHO Comic art is probably going to go the sane route. Some classic stuff will hold on and appreciate, but a lot of stuff that we may think is top notch right now may not hold onto its value in the long run. I think something like Preacher Art would be a good example. It’s hot right now, but will it hold on to this level in 10-15 years when the biggest Preacher nostalgia collectors liquidate their collections and the TV show has been off the air for years? Walk Kelly’s Pogo was considered the pinnacle of comic strip art at one point. A true classic. Now, you can by 3 Pogo strips for the price of one Garfield.

You can post WTB on Facebook, probably.

Yeah. But there’s still a halo on Trimpe Hulk art after the Wolverine debut panel sale.

I thought the Team America cover would do better.

I wonder if here will be a halo effect on other Colan art? I’m guessing his Submariner & Iron Man stuff, in particular?

In the early part of the video, the girl is reading a comic. So there was definitely paper art created.

Remember that video by Ah Ha in the 1980’s, Take On Me? What do you think the original art from that video would sell for if it came up for auction?

I already have a Badger Page. But this is a cover from the original short Capital Comics run.

I kinda like this Badger #2 cover.

The Killing Joke page might as well be $7 million, because I can't afford it.

Or Conan; or Death Dealer; Etc.

Isn't PayPal supposed to make you whole?

Is that a published Fantasy cover painting?

I definitely was buying the Paul Smith issues. And there is a page from #56 (by Smith) that was up in one of the recent auctions.

Well, if you say so.

Yeah. At the time, the big Doctor Strange event was when Paul Smith started on the title starting with issue #56. Golden, at the time, was best known for Micronauts.

It is? First I’ve heard of this.

Any estimates on where this this puppy by Steve Rude finally ends up? https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/steve-rude-batman-in-world-war-ii-painting-original-art-2016-17-/a/7189-92182.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515

There is also a really nice Pogo in this auction, and will probably not break $600, which is crazy when you consider how revered that strip was at one time.

You know? This Garfield OA might actually be a nice cheap pickup. Can't imagine it exceeding $150-$200. Or am I way off? Not my area. https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/jim-davis-garfield-daily-comic-strip-original-art-dated-4-10-89-united-feature-syndicate-1989-/a/7189-93379.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515

Yeah. Even for stuff that I thought had little chance of going over my budget...it still does.

I have most of my art in an Itoya portfolio. The ones that don’t fit it are wrapped in a Mylar then inserted into a top loader. I store all pieces - including the Itoya - in an artist’s portfolio bag like this one:

Love that Fantasy Masterpieces cover, What were they asking for it? Which dealer?

The "E" also looks like it was made with 3 strokes rather than 2, as is clear in the verified signature.

I don''t even know what the Johnny Dangerously poster costs. I just assume there is no way in hell I can afford it. But, congrats to whoever buys it!
