OT - I'm extremely tired,yet I can't go to sleep. Booooooooooo.

A #21 in 9.8 would be nice - You've definitely searched hard enough for it! Good luck and let us hear about how the stuff come back!- Keith

Chris, great news - hope it does. Do you think it'll appear with a description then? Thinking about OS, they do under-price a number of issues I think - especially 23 and 24. Though I recently got a BIN for 21-24 for just $19.99. I sold a 23 recently for £40/$90. Should there be any adjustment this year? That is an absolutely amazing price for a 23! I don't know if OS will budge much though - they tend to lag behind on pricing trends for comics in the past 20 or so years.

\\ Hey Hari! Leach is still in the U.K. I got them through one of his colleagues at A1 and 2000 A.D., Rufus Dayglo. Rufus has a CAF page - here's the link: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=578 Rufus sells some of Garry's OA, and he's got some of it for sale on CAF (and he might have some more by now). If you can't get him through the CAF contact, e-mail/PM me and I'll send you his e-mail address. He is extremely easy to deal with and quite friendly, so I would at least give it a shot to get the Miracleman pages you have signed (nice stuff! - I'd love a page or two from the original series!). The Miracleman sketch I got was not a commission but it was a pin-up he did for the A1 Sketchbook. I'm not sure if Garry is doing commissions again - but I had heard that he is getting ready to start again.If/when he starts, I'd love to get some more stuff from him. I hope that helps - let me know if I can do anything else! - Keith

Hehehehe Hey Jon, On another note - were you still collecting books for the school library? I'm about to clear out my Essentials - would those be ok? I wasn't sure since they were on newsprint. I've got some other ones I could send along if not. Thanks! - Keith

Thanks Shed! Hey guys, I just put the scans of the actual OA for the front cover in my CAF gallery. Here they are: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=129825&GSub=19582 http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=129829&GSub=19582 http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=129832&GSub=19582 Have a good weekend everybody!

Sweet! Good work chrisco!!!!

I bet I've got a signed version of the A1 Sketchbook nobody else has got - My wife got me the original art for the cover and the back cover (the Miracleman and Bates pin-ups) for Christmas and they arrived today. She got them through Rufus Dayglo (one of Leach's buddies and a darn good artist in his own right!) and this was in the peackage when I opened it today .

I've heard of $100 to $200, but I do not know of a recent sale.

That's so cool. Its almost like a whole other story that way.

What do you guys think of OA not from the Miracleman series, but that has Miracleman appearances on the page (like from the Total Eclipse series / HellSpawn, etc.)?

The price they want for the -script and art scans on eBay is a bit ridiculous in my opinion. I mean $250.00 for copies of the original pages is a bit much but original Moore scripts are hard to come by. Does anyone here have any original Moore scripts? Stan 4ColorHeroes I don't have any. I agree with you though, $250 is way too much to pay for them. I've heard his stuff is super detailed - how's the MM#11?

I like the -script and pencil scans. I've seen them on eBay, but I keep waiting for a website to post some. The OA for the page you posted the pencil scan of went for $3600 on ebay a couple of months ago - a little too rich for my tastes.

Don't make me break out some OA, oh no, don't make me .

I want it!!!

Sounds good - glad to have you aboard RDK!

I have been unable to find any in online comic stores, but MH does list them on ebay for waaaaaaay cheaper, although they have not listed any in the past 2 weeks...not that I would buy anymore anyways and they are also signed versions...which appear much easier to get stateside (EwanUK, thoughts? ) I'm still confused. Is this the regular version on Ebay http://search.ebay.com/a1-sketchbook_W0Q...2d1QQsofocusZbs with the Fabray cover? I guess I'm looking for the "variant" with the Leach cover. Is that right? Nope, its not that over (that's the regular one). The variant (here's a link - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...%3AIT&rd=1) has a sketch cover by Garry Leach. There are two versions of the variant, a signed version and an unsigned version, and it looks like the signed version is actually easier to get. I hope that answers what you needed - if not, we'll get a better answer to ya. - Keith

I know - the book would look nice slabbed (especially after seeing the pics of EwanUK's 9.8). Were these issues signed? Does anybody know if CGC would give them a qualified grade if they are?

Miracleman was in Total Eclipse 1-3 too (I think at least...). You might want to get the X-men Archives: Captain Britain #2 too, since it reprints Daredevils #7 (which, along with the Marvel Superheroes issues, I would get too). If you want to get the McFarlane stuff, you could get the HellSpawn issues with Mike Moran in them, the Image 10th Anniversary Hardcover and Spawn #150 (both "Man of Miracles" references). I want to say I'm forgetting some stuff, so everybody else chime in if they think of anything - Keith

I can't believe the unsigned ones are so hard to find. Its really strange.

I know this is probably dorky, but what color ink are the signature's on everybody's copies? I've got a green signature and a black one.

Thanks Ewan!

I've been looking for those3 for a while as well - they seem next to impossible to find. Has anyone in the UK had any better luck or are they tough to find over there as well?

Yeah...its pretty rank.

By the way - I've got an extra copy or two of X-Men: Captain Britain Archives #2 - it has a reprint of Miracleman's appearance and death in Daredevils #7.
