For those interested in the Okajima Pedigree, I posted a video today on my YouTube channel, Karen’s Pages. 

That was a fascinating video!  You have me certainly convinced.

One thought I have about the Okajima / Okagima name.  English phonetic spelling for じま is usually "jima" (Kunrei-shiki romanization), but sometimes the alternative "ZIMA" (Hepburn-shiki romanization).  My guess would be that the brothers perhaps anglicized their name as ~gima because it sounded more American...?

I've seen foxing successfully removed from some old artwork I have, but the process would probably use chemicals deemed "restoration" or "conservation" when applied to books.

This is the first public sale I've seen for Ma Wing-Shing published page!

Hong Kong manhua (manga)

Epic Illustrated #1 (Spring 1980)

Should list the "first appearance of Petalwing and the Preservers" from the Elfquest canon - see confirmation from Richard Pini

probably not the best venue for this type of sale. closing down.

Thanks for looking (all 22 of you )

Hello:

Would something like this be of interest?

The thread originator @fidei doesn't seem to have come back to this forum for a while.  You could try sending a PM.

But thanks for sharing the artwork, very nice!

I bid this up but someone kept topping my bid and eventually I stopped bidding.  I was fairly confident if I bid one more bid at the end that I would win it but I'd be totally fine with a lower graded copy.  Maybe this sale will bring others to market - if so, I'm a buyer. 

there were two last minute bids, I'm guessing they were (reassurance bids) from the high bidder as the final hammer didn't change

Not everyone is interested in slabbing or selling but some EQ fans are very serious about "collecting"

I'm just going to chalk this up to human error and the book was over graded.

Enter the whole... buy the book not the grade mantra I guess.
