Let me start off with an apology that these are not comic art. But they are original pencils. Found several of these going through my parents old things. Know nothing about them other than that they are from England and at least over 40 years old. 
 

any info appreciated. 
 

I guarantee it’s his. He brags about the different styles he’s able to do. Someone probably said could you do an animated Batman series sketch and he said....

“For $600 I’ll draw anything you want.”

I think he would do tattoos at his table if the price was right.

Taking the topic title (Great Artist, Terrible Art: Would You Buy?) literally...

Does anyone believe that Neal Adams, other than his signature, had anything to do with this thing ??

C'mon, it's a CGC SS.  Adams should sue.

Not sure if turning this forum into yelp is a good idea.

Very sad, today... Ebay termination system seems on holidays and that's a shame...

 

The same crook from Ebay got another prey yesterday night :

https://www.ebay.fr/itm/164338456551

(I sent Ebay the wonderful video showing the King drawing the original one as a proof - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ckt_yZAWFk - , and gave them even the time mark were the drawing is shown clearly enough to see this Ebay item is a lame copy... Despite my efforts last week, the prey got caught...)

 

If someone can explain to me why the Ebay service didn't take an action this time, I would be glad to hear it...

Each time the crook catch a prey, he is encouraged to shop again in Peru...

 

I always found Jack’s voice so soothing, sometimes I’ll listen to some of his old interviews even though I’ve heard the many times.

The new Batman trailer looks incredible. Might give his work a bump in price. New Suicide Squad movie be helmed by Gunn couldn’t hurt either.

Love the Hulk. Is that a take on the Sal Rampaging Hulk cover?

I posted picture of this Spiderman art by Ron Frenz and remark on right side by Rick Leonardi but I added the last piece to this set in a custom 1/4 scale statue . It really does the art justice and all of it looks great together 

Truly epic. Well done!

The real first appearance would be a prelim of the original art page. Everything else is a clone.

Humbled to have this one, thanks to @Grant Turner  for a great transaction! More pics and details on CAF

Great page...and watermark! 

I’ve bought some bad Byrne art (Doom Patrol) before.

Hey....wait. 

Great Claremont run X-MEN The End series by Sean Chen. Anthony’s seems to have most of the run at a GREAT price.

Does he want to give any away?

Oh gawd. Used to be mine. It was on CAF last I looked (a year or two ago). Not now?

Hey hey hey....I'll PM you. 

Rik Levins...I have my reasons. 

How much does he lean on this? Is it fair to say it makes up 90% off his work over the last 5-10 years? It's robbed the OA community of such great artwork over the past decade. It's a shame.

I wanted to add a nice example of a bronze horror cover to my collection... I think this fills the bill nicely. Ghosts 24 by Nick Cardy

 

What happen to your focus on X-MEN?

I got in an 11” x 17” Vega commission by Andy Smith today:

Whatever came of the Arthur Suydam commission? Did you get an apology from him or an “I owe U”?

Thanks for the shares and advice. Might not be a grail for some but Rob Liefeld has always been an interesting cat and as a child of the 80’s I connected with his pouches and shoulder pads, and this splash has both!

Just curious, how do you think the DC liquidation effects OA prices? Never even thought about it. 

My next questions was going to be the best way/tape to connect the two boards.

It’s hard for me to put too much stock in sales numbers from the early 90’s, since quantity over quality is what lead to Marvel’s bankruptcy. 

I bet if we were all tasked to go find 10 copies of X force #1 within one hour most of us could do it.  

Rob Liefeld.

Graduates high school and with NO formal/professional training gets a job with DC at 19. Nobody wanted to work on Hawk and Dove so Mike Carlin gives it to him while telling him nobody else wanted it. He does 5 issues with Carlin telling him how bad he is. Marvel offers him a job around the same time. Within 3 years at Marvel he co-creates a comic at Marvel whose fist issue sells 4 million copies. At 23 when most of us are fresh out of college he partners up and creates the third largest comic book publisher. Even today he is enthusiastic about what he does. He is a comic book fan who would do what any of us would have done and more. I'ts not his fault people gave him jobs and bought his comics. 

Over the years I have softened up on the guy and even purchased a few pages, not because of the work, but because I admire the kid.

Here's a great video on Rob that might give you a better appreciation.
