Cool thread - Issue 176 comes to mind, not once but twice! 1. Avengers - Korvac saga..Avengers 177 was the big battle I believe but that doesn't work with my 176 theme - and the cover to 176 reflects the battle 2. But even more nostalgic, if not as epic, Impossible Man vs. FF in FF176 with the Marvel bullpen Read them! Mark

I was underbidder on the pre-hero...not sure why there isn't more love for these

Thanks The auction results are helpful Mark

Are you knowledgeable on Uderzo adnd/or Franquin? Looking of ballpark value for the following I have inside inscribed comic albums 1. Good sized but quick Marker sketch by Uderzo of Obelix (6 by 7 inches or so) 2. Small pencil sketch by Franquin of Marsupilami (small 2 by 2 inches) I haven't scanned them yet...I am not selling but want to have a ballpark for my records - fifty? few hundred? a thousand? So, if you are familiar with the market on these, please reply or PM me...or perhaps you have an auction results account? Thanks! Mark

Can't remember where I saw this article but essentially it said the reason per-raphaelite / similar art 'died out' was that it took to long to create an artwork - with modern art you can churn out paintings faster so dealers said, I like to market and sell modern art - it is a better business model - actually quite awesome really from that perspective To me, art can be idea or craft or both - idea can be fast once the idea is conceptualized but art with craft can't be churned out the same way. If I can't have idea+craft, I prefer craft only to idea only Mark

Please don't do this I bought a Kaluta Shadow Movie Adaption page and the seller chopped off the Top 2" so it would be cheaper to ship from overseas - so annoying - and of course, not mentioned... Mark

The BWS cover lot wasn't so strong but the description of its use was a bit vague so not shocked - most of the other BWS pages were strong IMO

FF77 was my first 12 center - not sure how I came by it - but at the time I thought it was quite old - this was probably 1978 ish. The book also was visible through the handle of one of my long boxes for many years (it was a beat copy) so I have a soft spot for it but feels like it will go over $100K and the air is a bit thin for me up there Will plan on putting in a thrill bid for sure Mark

Nice idea! So how much does this sell for - it is a childhood memory for me

I would have gone Tick as well - got the Hero initiative as well

I noticed the gap as well....a typo I imagine

Sorry I missed it - didn't make it out Thursday I managed to acquire a SDCC Saturday badge and will be walking the floor. I am too old to carry a lot of art but brought a few pages - some I want to sell others not as much but they were handy – maybe I’ll drop them off at an Auction House. I don’t have scan up of these yet but perhaps I’ll get to it in the AM for the ones I have on my laptop. That said, if you are interested in the art below – drop me a text - I'd love to do a trade I hope this isn't an out of bounds post - I don't have scans of most of these Low End Bolton – Man Bat Mini – Page with young woman – 2 panels – Large Painted Art Buscema, Sal – Hulk 235 p7 – FF on Billboard and Machine Man Von Eeden, Trevor – Powerman / IF 57 page 6 – Lots of X-men walking in coats Light End Bolton – Classic X-Men #20 p23 – The classic new X-men team at Storm’s wedding Buscema, John – Conan 56 page 7 – Conan, babe and flying monster Moderate middle Bissette Totleben – ST 16 p20 Battle page with Mallory Bolton – Kull Bizarre Adventures 26 page 59 – Climax where Kull chops off villain’s head! – Ink Wash Esposito – ASM 40 Cover Recreation – Large Art Frazetta – Lil Abner Public Corps, FF inked from Al Capp pencils – Signed with full classic signature Sutton Attack 13 cover – child figures are stats – Large Art Healthy Bissette Totleben – ST 42 p26 St and Abby with killer close up panel and forest (restored, mild H2O damage right lower edge) Kubert – OFF 121 Cover – First Heller Perez – Crisis #12 End Sequence– Pages 39 – 42, 44 (art 34 – 38) Final Sequence, Historic

I might make it but it would help if I had a ticket for SDCC - anyone got a Thursday Ticket...or even a Sunday?

Thought the same thing! Anyone know where the original art is to this story?

Wow - I am watching 721 galleries...I am watched by 82 About 9:1 ratio

Very cool!

Also struck out on tix - the con needs to provide dealers tix to sell as a formal part of their booth fees so they can ensure their customers can get in!

Pretty good estimate...

Have to say I watch some of these and they seem to close slowly, this one just shut down suddenly, not that I was bidding - do folk think this result is an outlier?

I'm planning on attending Sunday...

Wondercon - Art dealers? Hi, Does anyone know which art dealers will be in attendance? Any folk planning on going? Mark

This sucks - We are starting to lose the second wave of great comic artists - we have lost two of the Studio artists already. He left quite a great legacy of work - met him briefly at a few cons - very gracious gentleman. Condolences to the family Mark

I know you posted before the announcement...hopefully, someone will have the right piece for you
