Nice! Early and tough to find.

Might be stretching it a bit since these were anthologies-

BWS-

and Frazetta for the win-

John Bolton again-

Bradstreet-

Matt Wagner-

Dean Motter-

Breyfogle-

John Bolton again-

Another nice Wrightson-

and Don Newton-

Hannigan and Giordano-

Aparo-

....I Still say there should be a "sketch cover" category.

 

Another category or just expand the con drawing one. Looking at alot of the sketch covers in CAF most look similar to con drawings. I don't think we would get enough entries if there was a separate sketch cover category.

I actually like the delineation between con sketch and commission which you have now. Some sketch covers fall into either category. So my vote would be to keep it as is for sketch covers.

Would you consider an under $200 category? Any type of piece can be entered, but can't be posted in its formal category.

 

 

Problem with value categories, no way to verify. The other categories are easily to distinguish from their description, under $200 is all up to the person. Don't want to deal with the inevitable emails "That looks like its cost more than $200.

It would be the honor system, for sure. Still, it might be worth a try.

Would people honestly email you to complain? I find that astonishing. You guys are organizing this as a fun event for the community. Da noiv of some people!

BWS-

McKean-

I think you could argue that McKean changed the course of graphic design in all media with his Sandman covers. His influence was everywhere in the years following.

Grindberg-

Bingham again-

Kent Williams-

Shawn McManus-

Giffen-

Terry Beatty-

Gulacy-

Grell Longbow Hunters, Pratt Batman, McKean Black Orchid... +1!

You found some great stuff. Cinder and Ashe!

John Bolton. Whoa.

Dave Dorman-

Chadwick-

And you really can't leave Rude off of any top list-

Loved all of the single-color Michael Golden Detective covers, but this was pinned to my wall back then. Such a strange moment-

Hard to pick a favorite Ordway Superman cover, but these two were also favorites back then-

My two fav Byrne Superman covers-

Chris Wozniak GL. Always loved the stark white-

Perez should probably get his own thread-

Maguire-

Kaluta-

Zeck-

Aparo-

Came across this in a box today-

And always loved this-

I dont have any pages/covers to contribute but i do have a couple of sketches.

This one tho still remains my favourite. By Gab Dell'otto:

 

Whoa! Love the colors on this.

Giorello... Whoa!

Catching up on the latest Paul Pope episode. Gold star for more Nexus love and then bonus points for random digression into the mad genius of Klaus Kinski. Whaaat? !!!

EDIT: Whoa. Just Googled Kinski. This is why I sometimes don't want to know the people behind the art.

I think the site redesign is actually very user-friendly. They should standardize the scan resolution from the consignors though.

I inquired about Obama as well...

> Thanks for the question. It is all original art. We believe that Jimenez might have light boxed the Obama image for all the variants, but it is not a stat...it's all original. Let me know if you need any other info.

Did Jimenez lightbox it or the inker?

Jack Kirby: Storyteller for those who haven't seen it...

 

Great little documentary. Thanks for posting.

Yes, Roger's. Yes, Forbidden Planet for new stuff. No, St. Mark's.

For nicely-priced TPBs, you could also hit the Strand.

Or if you are a BSD, make an appointment at Metropolis Comics... the motherlode!

Otherwise, skip all that and just go to the Met Museum... the whole time. You can eat in the cafe, look at art all day, then drink on the roof. Sleep under one of the antique French beds. Then, repeat the next day.

This was the most recent Giger I've seen for sale. It was stunning in person. Even up close, you are hard-pressed to see how on Earth it was crafted.

A butler page!

Is this a thing? . If so, poor Alfred. He suffers silently even in OA collecting.
