I don’t even like that cover.

Is this yours? It's great.

Can you PM me on who owned this page 35-40 years ago (if you know)? Because I distinctly remember being at his table at a Con in Michigan as a kid in the early 80's (I believe), where he showed t to me and someone else.

Hard to say. The last time I saw it was like 35 years ago.

The one cover that wowed me the most was the cover to Showcase 17, the 1st Appearance of Adam Strange. It was posted on the Facebook message group by Vincent Zurzullo. I wish someone would post it. It's so great. I've seen the Fred Ray Supes Cover and the Double Guns Jerry Robinson Joker cover before. Ad I'd also seen the Ras Al Ghul cover - in person! - 35 years ago when a dealer showed it to me back before I ever collected a single page of art (and I was just a comic-collecting kid). EDIT: I see that its in one of the group photos. I hope there is a good close up shot of it. Great, great cover.

At least he helpfully included a photo of the original he traced it from. ?

Not saying I’d pay Miller prices. Just that I’d be happy to own a Janson DD page from that historic run.

Well, I for one would be proud and happy to own a Janson DD page from that run. I loved those books when they came out. I didn’t see much of any of a drop off in the artistic storytelling.

I also think Janson gets overlooked, somewhat, for the mood and texture of the look of those Miller Daredevil issues. He's recognized as a talented artist in his own right.

I don't think UXM #266 is an appropriate comparison, as that's a big splash featuring Gambit, or TOD #10 which also features a huge Blade. This is more akin to Iron man #55, with a tiny, Drax in the background.

Where would Dave Stephens Rocketeer A-Panel pages fall? $10K plus, easily, right?

We need a GA art collector to weigh in. What about EC panel pages? What about DC or Timely Panel pages? Or Fawcett?

GCD does say that Ditko penciled that issue. https://www.comics.org/issue/76420/ But, I'd rather go with this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/122966095523?rmvSB=true

I think an A-level Kirby 4th World page, particularly from New Gods, would be in the $5K to $10k range now, no?

Fair enough, which is why I made the Drax IM 55 splash page comparison. It's a cooler page, but BW is a more important and arguably more popular character than Drax. And it's a classic Marvel SA page, vs a Bronze Age one. I'd give Starlin the nod over Heck, but early Heck TOS ages are pretty nice. I've changed the title of this thread to reflect this.

Here’s Tom Palmer on inking Neal Adams. http://twomorrows.com/comicbookartist/articles/03palmer.html ”Other guys today try to pencil as if they were going to ink it, or they're trying to set it up for the inker. Neal penciled for penciling; the inking became another art that you brought to it. And I think that's what I was challenged by. He didn't put a line down that you just filled in. You didn't trace it—you had to bring something to it. As far as inking over Neal, you realized you couldn't do it all in pen, nor could you do it just in brush—you needed both if you wanted to pick up what he was doing when he inked. He would probably render in pen, and then go back with a brush, and hit some of the heavier lines, and also some of the shadowing. You could tell, because it was a real juicy black line; it kind of forced me to match it.”

What did it actually sell for? Given that Drax splash cleared 40K, this asking price might not be totally crazy. It IS the literal first appearance of the character.

Hey guys. Is this a grail? It’s up on eBay right now. ? https://outside-affiliatelinksnotallowed.ebay.com/outside-affiliatelinksnotallowed/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F232420166855

Looks like he’s flipped his lid on this one.

Lister is asking $45K. Not gonna get that on eBay. This should be at Heritage or C-Link.

From TOS #52. Ummm...wow. https://outside-affiliatelinksnotallowed.ebay.com/outside-affiliatelinksnotallowed/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F232420166855

Got this in the mail today: Cover to Kill The Minotaur #2 by Lukas Ketner.

I literally just got this modern cover today in the mail. My first official cover art.

Must be the Thor Ragnarock bump.
