Added this early Love and Rockets page by Jaime Hernandez to my growing collection of his art

Fun portrayal  of Atari Force’s Dart by Copra creator Michel Fiffe.

Would love to know where this cover (Love and Rockets #26) by Jaime Hernandez currently resides! 

Love and Rockets #24 Tribute Commission I just posted on my CAF page. Artist (yokuri72art on Instagram).

Just added the cover to Whisper #18 (First Comics, 1988) by Neil “Spyder” Hansen. Have looked for this for a bit. What can I say? I loved those 80s books.

Capping off my first year of OA collecting with this beautiful example of Jaime Hernandez's storytelling and formalist chops. Excited to add this to my collection and marvel at the work of a master cartoonist.

Just a fun trifle: a sketch commission by Daniel Warren Johnson of everyone’s favorite Road Warrior, Max Rockatansky.

New Art Day - Young Fara from The First Kingdom by Jack Katz.

Liam Sharp published a bunch of Jack’s previously unseen art in The Unseen Art of Jack Katz as a Kickstarter. One of the options was a remarque by Jack in the book. I could not resist.

The image is from a 93 year old artist!

Check it out here: https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1753691 

Amazing. Now I'm kicking myself for 1) not getting a remarque in my copy and 2) not seeing Jack and Liam at their recent con appearance.

So, it’s been a few weeks since the movie was released to mixed reviews and I’m just wondering if anyone has seen a general trend up or down in prices?

If you go by GPA, looks like sale prices peak from mid-September to early October before starting to go back down following the release of the movie. Hard to say whether the decrease will continue, but consistent sales in the $2000-$2100 are still a decent bump over the same period last year.

There will be another one in the future 

Hooray!

This looks great. Wish I wasn't out of town on the 26th.

Atari had some great ads back in the day. The games still required you to use your imagination though lol. 

Yeah, I still feel stung after buying their "adaptation" of Pac-Man. You definitely needed a lot of imagination to think you were playing Pac-Man at home. These days I have a lot of appreciation of the technical constraints Atari programmers were operating under. 

Yeah, I'm not seeing the stains either--even after magnifying the image. The "stains" on the kids' shoes, pants, and near the signature DO look a little like the kind of stains you'd expect to see on a damaged comic, though. 

Side note: Jack Davis is such a great artist. His artwork made me consider buying this back in the day until I I played it at a friend's house.

I had a copy of this forever... pretty sure I got this in high school along with NM98 and some other random stuff in a trade for BadMotorFinger and Jar of Flies on CD right around the time that Superunknown came out.

Can't say I'm too unhappy with the grade given the number of times this got read and/or passed up and down the aisles in class!

One day maybe I'll spring for the upgrade, but for now I'm good!

Your copy has held up pretty well for getting passed around so much. I let my brother read my original copy and it looked like a truck ran over it when he returned it. 

First bought ASM #300 at a military commissary in Japan back in 1988. I was primarily a DC fan but took a flyer on this issue because I enjoyed McFarlane's runs on Infinity Inc. and the Batman: Year Two storyline. McFarlane didn't disappoint. 

Although I collect mostly Silver & Bronze Age DC these days, I couldn't resist picking this beauty up at a recent Pedigree Comics auction.
