First Upgrade

How common is it in comic book publishing today, for an interior page from the story to be used as a variant or later printing's cover?

...have any examples?

Going forward, vintage (1990's era) Infinty 'this', Infinity 'that', published original art will continue to have "value" to a specific demographic, especially higher quality examples. Such as the Galactus & Silver Surfer gem that recently sold with HA.

Speaking of Galactus...with Thanos out as the 'Big Bad' in the MCU films to come, Galactus is likely to take that role.

Today, only a few art collectors can BUY the Kirby/Sinnott Galactus pages...should an example even be offered.

And, only a few more art collectors can BUY either the Buscema &/or Byrne era FF Galactus pages, if they become available...

Galactus will be officially announced as the new 'Big Bad' in the MCU saga.

Nice. Colouring has improved so much the last 20 years.   You can’t even tell that’s the same art right away.   So much shading (like the shadows on his eyes or arms is just done digitally now at the colouring stage). 

Agreed. I had blindly 'undervalued' the ongoing technological advances in this medium's creative process for too long...from the penciler to the colorist, their 'modern' skills & techniques have since (re-)gained my appreciation.

While the DPS by JR JR & Janson was created 13 years ago, Janson's mastery of the line work was & is still strikingly beautiful. The details of the Apache & support helicopter squadron are mesmerising to review...

Not sure if you saw this, but Heritage has page 6 from 212 coming up in auction.

Thank you for the tip! I have not yet seen the listing. Page 6(?) is nice...

I am very interested in buying a handful of select original comic book art pages.

A 30% 'cash' finder's fee will be paid upon successful completion of any individual acquisition.

Other pieces may be added to this post in the future...

"Sometimes..."

Someone said, "Read. The. Transcript."...(bad joke)

Somewhere, in some buried thread, Mark detailed his recollections of the ordeal..In general [since I do not have the transcript in front of me], I recall that Mark phoned Josh, & asked, 'what are the conditions of the pages on the reverse?' Josh answered, 'No problems'...
