"Bob Burden Flaming Carrot Comics #15 Cover Original Art (Renegade | Lot #93659 | Heritage Auctions" https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/covers/bob-burden-flaming-carrot-comics-15-cover-original-art-renegade-press-1987-/a/7099-93659.s
Besides #15, anyone seen any other published FC covers? For sale or in private collections?

Respectfully , I disagree. There are still folks such as myself who refuse to purchase (let alone bid on) a Miller DD page that hasn’t been touched by Miller.
case in point, the most recent sale of a Janson DD page from Miller’s run sold for $21.6K, with lots of DD and Black Widow content. You telling me this wouldn’t hit (conservatively) $75K if Miller had done the pencils? $21K vs $75K is a significant difference in my opinion.
I agree with JJJ but I think this page is going to get Miller prices....because it's key ....or do bidders not know it's mainly Jansons art

No. Klaus working off Miller’s 8 x 11 layouts.
So just to clarify, Miller did some cursory penicil layouts but most of the detailed pencil and ink work is Janson?

Published version is so much more intense IMO.
Notice all the glue stains on the published page. My guess is he thought he'd be OK to just redraw the big bottom panel and stat the smaller top ones, but then saw how much better it was turning out and decided to rip off the stat and redrew the rest.
Will those glue stains damage the paper and will they spread with time?
Should they be professionally removed and if they are does that affect the arts value?

RWD I think worked for Lewis Wayne Galleries, which I think was a side thing of Halperin's slough off dreck he won at HA? (when the house bets with house money, win or lose, you win) His proximity to DFW made him the logical conservator for HA or Halperin. I know he was FB friends with other HA reps, because sometimes they'd even suggest he tone down some of his online screeds. Their affiliation with RWD may have been completely professional and had no bearing on their willingness to accept the racist Scrooge art for consignment, but someone apparently thought it was ok. I don't know if the fact that this is the European auction has anything to do with it. I don't see how really. Lot's of adult themed things are more likely to be in the Euro auction, and that's fine, just as it's fine to show all sort of underground art. But it usually comes with a little more consideration of not making the images quite so readily visible. Whatever, it's just my opinion, but my opinion is what dictates where and with whom I do business. I am curious how Disney lawyers might look at it. HA may be the big dawg of their niche auction world, but if Disney wanted that stuff gone. It would be gone. Even if it meant pulling the auction and they paid them for it. They may not be aware of it yet.

is this the HA auction where they are selling the interiors to possibly the most racist Don Rosa Uncle Scrooge art produced by Disney in the modern era? (mid-90's) Disney has banned the comic from ever being reprinted, and HA has this almost passive-aggressive tone in their description of the pages chiding this decision because it's in the middle of a story arc. This, coupled with their association with Robert Wayne Dennis who was sentenced for 3 years for assaulting an officer on Jan. 6th has made me reluctant to ever consign with them. You know, at least make a half-assed effort to warn viewers. If it had a nipple on it you'd have to have an account, and present yourself as an adult to view the image, but you can show egregiously offensive cartoon depictions of African-American's and that's perfectly alright? I guess they will print a catalog of them too. So in a way, the story has gotten reprinted. (minus word balloons)
Whoa! Had no idea this was in this auction?
What is heritages association with Robert Wayne Dennis?
-
So,unpublished pages .....but will still bring a high price no doubt.
Will be a very interesting final price.

I am officially old what is “eightball” and was $33,600 a good deal?
$34k....about $20k below what other Clowes covers have sold for many years ago....just check the heritage archives......
Is the cover actually inked? Looks more like pencils only? May have had something to do with the lower than average Clowes cover prices previously realised

Holy cow...I thought $43.2K looked healthy, but, it sold for $66K a year ago. Yikes.
Evidence the OA correction is officially here! Prices across the board definitely seem weaker compared to the 🤯 prices of the last two years. However this auction lacked real killer 🤯 grail level material.
My two cents.....

The #185 was with the Donnellys at NYCC not that long ago (think it was probably somewhere in the 2016-19 range)? I think the price was either $130K or $180K; whatever it was, the consensus was that it was way high for the time.
Apparently we are now at the point in history, though, where even third-tier Miller DD covers are $200K+. Not that any cover from the run is not cool, but, objectively, the #185 is likely to be in the bottom quarter or third of covers most people would choose if money was no object (YMMV of course). Personally, I'm happier owning great interiors from the run which I love more and without reservation.
The only two DD covers I regret passing on (i.e., the ones that were actually available for purchase over the past 10-15 years) are your #171 after seeing it in person and the #190 (as it sold really cheap and was really the only Elektra cover from the run that's been on the market during that timeframe; at the time I was kind of put off by the images being on separate boards, which doesn't bother me at all anymore).Gene, when did you see the DD 171 and 190 for sale and what were the ask prices? I love that DD 171 cover !

Some highlights of the International auction thus far:
- Miller DD 185 cover = 225K
- Romita Sr ASM 69 page (Spidey vs Kingpin, small art) = $144K
- Tezuka Astro Boy vintage 1961 Illo = $58K
- Rosa Uncle Scrooge 294 cover = $35K
- Dell’otto Joker 1 variant cover from 2021 = $23K !!!
- Garcia Lopez Superman 301 cover (supes vs Solomon Grundy = $15K.
IMHO, the Garcia Lopez represents the biggest bargain of the auction and I have absolutely no doubt it would have hit $40K if listed in the North American HA auction
The Spidey 69 romita page is a great action page but I thought would get around $100k only..... Prices remains strong for top quality material

So looking at the results of the International auction so far, where is the burst bubble that we were promised?
OA auction prices realised remain strong. The prices of key comics have been falling over the last two heritage signature auctions

Play the long game and don't stress it. ASM 129 went from being a $250-300 book in the early 90s to $25-50 in 99/2000 and then back up again.
Are you sure ASM 129 was $50 in 2000??
I never recall it being that price since the early 80 s

I was a child of the SA. Bought, traded and read tons of them. They were very available. I discovered GA due to garage sales, used book stores and just having “10 centers” just given to me. I realized they were special and not easy to find. My interest in them shifted pretty early.
I have seen a lot of younger collectors realized the same. They start out on Moderns and work back when they realize the challenge of collecting GA. You just can’t go on eBay and find most of them easily. A LOT easier than when I started but still not easy.
I see very little if any disinterest in GA books. Prices have stabilized a little over the past couple of years but interest is still and will probably stay strong.
Comic shows, especially smaller comic centric shows are packed with willing buyers. Many of my buyers are those in their 20’s and 30’s. All genres if priced right.
CalCon show in Costa Mesa a few weeks ago. Some from my booth shots and a stack bought by a young collector with next to no discount.
Great to see comic con well attended👍 second photo down, back row second from the right, is that Mike Goldman of motor City comics??
