First Upgrade

As of one minute ago, they are still posted in the 'Stolen' art web page on his site...but, remember there are 'NO issues with the pieces'...

On Albert's website, these three pieces are listed amongst several that were apparently stolen over a decade ago...

Just returned from Sarasota... Pulled from dollar boxes, an unpressed survivor...

Just returned from Sarasota... Unpressed. Survivor...

Check Anthony Synder's website for examples from other Classics Illustrated issues...some are pricier than others... http://www.anthonyscomicbookart.com

Dispatch from the show...a vendor had this Howard the Duck #3 page... Anyone here have pics of original art from the show?...

HA comp data for an unopened Jeff Jones The Swamp Creature jigsaw puzzle now exists...

BUMP... Auction ends today...

https://comics.ha.com/itm/memorabilia/jeff-jones-the-swamp-creature-jigsaw-puzzle-american-publishing-corp-1974-/a/121824-13798.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 This item was acquired by me from a Jeff Jones original art collector years ago...my understanding is that Jones personally gave him the puzzle...Jeff could be quite generous, especially to his patrons & visitors to his studio/home...

Definitely a pasted on stat...does not appear to be original drawn art on the stat...

Michael & Laura Allred's MADMAN #2, pg. 38 1992, Tundra (B&W mini-series) Pencil & ink

Regarding the Nguyen Tec cvr... Batman tax Catwoman tax Hush tax Less is more Excellent composition And, least we not forget, the recently ended CLink offering...~$1.3k, which feels 'right' to me... Aesthetically, for my own biased tastes, the Kryptonian cover scene is inferior to the Hush cover scene...

Some photos from the HCS...

Mike did 'OK' on the turnaround...

Yes you did... The story goes that he flipped the ASM 68 cover to you that weekend for $2,500... The ASM 311 cover was priced at $1,000, next to the ASM 68 cover at $500...

I suspect that a server crash or some interruption in website access had occurred this evening...somewhere...

ASM 311, easily breaks $100K, but, stops short of $121K... Does anyone else here know the true story of this cover being offered for sale at a 'small' show in Galveston, TX, so, so many years ago??... For those geographically challenged, Galveston is located to the southeast of Houston, TX... Hint: The same seller had it up next to the cover of ASM 68...which he sold for $500!!!...

I am surprised at the reserve price on the Starlin, Captain Marvel 26...I am being serious this time...

That's it...I'm out on the DD 163...yellow cover, why didn't that deal breaking physical condition get mentioned in the description!?!?!...

Apparently, we're in excellent company...

The spooky part here is after I posted that, I thought, 'what would Gene say?'... Much like the Golden Age Comic Books forum thread, 'Ask Gator', this forum needs an official 'Ask Delekkerste' thread...
