  1. @Caltex98 All of those commissions are amazing, but I bow down to the awesomeness of the Dodson sketch -- a great idea rendered beautifully. Congrats on scoring that!
  2. Thanks so much for sharing that, Caltex98 -- I love those art-process-in-action videos. Koslowski sure does make it look easy, though I know its anything but!
  3. That's one of the things I like about collecting Archie OA as well -- the satisfaction of being able to acquire a complete story in most cases. I appreciate that a lot of sellers don't break up the art, or if they do, a lot of the time it seems reasonably priced to purchase all of the pages. It's rare that I'll consider buying any Archie story pages that are sold singly and out of context . Maybe if I ran across an older Hartley or DeCarlo page that stood out... Along with pinup pages I like finding and getting the puzzle pages now and then. BTW, thanks to everyone for posting links to their CAF pages -- some really good stuff all-around. It's opening my eyes to some artists I've haven't known about, or appreciated in the past.
  4. I like the Pep 157 story too, but as soulcage noted, out of my price range. Thanks for the Jeff Schulz mention/recommendation -- I think I've seen his art plenty of times and thought it was probably DeCarlo Jr. That's one reason why I like the 70s art so much -- I can look at a story and 90% of the time tell you who the artist was without credits listed. Nowadays, outside of Parent and Ruiz, not so much.
  5. Glad to see others interest in Archie OA! I've been collecting Archie art over the last couple of years. My favorites are DeCarlo, Hartley and Goldberg, though over the past year I've come to appreciate some of the newer artists, mainly Dan Parent and Fernando Ruiz. I empathize with your frustration in searching for older Archie art. It's a bit bewildering when you think of all the art produced for Archie comics over the years, and yet there seems to be a dearth of it available for sale. Either a lot of it was discarded, or there are are collectors who are holding onto it it pretty tightly. If I had the means and budget I would mainly collect Archie art from '71 to '77 or thereabouts -- IMO all of the artists were at the top of their game then, but then again I'm a little biased because the 70s were my childhood years and the nostalgia factor is hard to ignore. So hard to find art from that time period, apart from Goldberg and some stray Hartley, Lucey and Gus LeMoine, at least from what I've seen. It sounds like you're hitting the main sites in your search. I've had most of my luck from eBay and Heritage, though Anthony has some good pages now and then. CAT has been a big help in looking lately. I'm pretty happy with a lot of the art I've found so far. I don't have all of my Archie art up on CAF, but quite a few pieces/stories are here: http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=168797
