That's not his signature, and... and he was loose as a goose back in 77... which that drawing is not. that was drawn nervously.

If that's a Wrightson... I'll eat Swedish Pee Shark with a smile.

I'm not familiar with this particular property, but I know animation quality can dip pretty low during some action or background sequences. A particular frame will only be present for 1-2 seconds, so they just need to convey the motion/action/shape rather than full detail. I'm no expert on animation, so I could be totally off base, but I know I've seen plenty of hilarious examples of terrible animation in otherwise high fidelity productions.
I found the owner of this piece on CAF - https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1194300
Best way to confirm it's veracity would probably be to find the actual frame in the show, but I'm not sure the quality here is enough to disqualify it.
Thanks for that response. Makes sense, now that it's described that way. I'm restarting the show currently. So, i'll be keeping an eye out for the scene.
If anyone is into Space Trains and life lessons about what's really important, and what is not... this really is a great series. It is subtitled, not dubbed. I know for some thats a turn off, but for others thats a feature. I love it!

This isn't comic art specifically but i think it's interesting, and pertinent, because it's Heritage. I was looking for Galaxy Express 999 animation cells this morning, and came across this previous sale listed on heritage... it's awful, and in my humble opinion it looks like a fake.
maybe this was such a minor sale for them that they just didnt care? but it seems pretty obvious... i can draw a better Maetel than that... I've included an image of one of the DVD covers as reference image.

Gawd that wolverine is awful!

absolutely lovely!

just to be clear though... as was stated in the post that Twanj linked...
Invaluable isnt the auction house, but they are a service that allows other smaller auction houses to sell online... think of them like ebay, they are not actually the seller. Relic Vintage Incorporated is the seller in this case.
For instance, i believe that Invaluable is the service that Profiles uses when they have an auction / it was the service they used to enable online bidding for the Wrightson Frankenstein plate in December.
The person who started this thread is also the same person who started the original one, and again are calling out Invaluable, the service, not Relic Vintage Inc the actual seller.

I contacted Jen via the Relic Vintage Facebook page and let her know that the art was fake, and gave her the link to this thread. First she said she didn’t know what I was talking about, and then she used this fallback: “do you realize the process of sending every single piece of art to be inspected and authenticated?” And before I could reply again, she blocked me. My last message failed to go thorough.
that doesnt sound suspicious at all... nope, not one bit...

Hmm, I love wrightson but I'm bearish on his frankenstein stuff, I have no connection with it. I'll say somewhere in the middle at 200-240 maybe? Its endpapers so its more memorable than a standard plate I presume. otherwise I'd be with J Sid at 100-150
i do think it's one of the most memorable of the bunch, for sure. And it's been used in other books, like creepy presents: bernie wrightson for instance, where it's also used as end papers.

There's actually even more funny business going on here than just these two crappy fake Ditkos. Take a look at this one. Already posted in this thread? NOPE! There's a spot on Spidey's back that's white here, but black in the current auction... and a different, but equally fake, Ditko signature.
This one isn't up for auction right now. It sold in a different auction last year (seemingly unrelated to this one, but I'm not sure I'd trust that either).
oh wow! now that is interesting!

Is it possible the seller made an honest mistake in this case? The signature looks like it is by someone named “Sam” something. Perhaps the seller, who I gather runs a thrift store, just jumped to a mistaken conclusion? The Fat Spider-Man, however, is ridiculous.
that seller has art auction after art auction, and a whole line up of piccassos, basquiats, etc etc in this current one, and in another upcoming... i dont know how you have that much art coming through, and not have some eye for spotting a fake.
it appears to me at least... if we assume best intent... that the seller doesnt particularly care and is willing to live the mantra "let the buyer beware"
if that qualifies as an "honest mistake" then sure, but representing yourself as a high dollar collectable dealer (which they certainly are if you look at all of the auctions that they have had in the past 12 months, and will have in the next)... i just expect more. For instance you wouldn't expect Mike Burkey to make that mistake, and certainly not on 3 pieces at the same time...

there is even a "Ditko" signed by stan lee https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/spiderman-hand-drawn-signed-sketch-2d241c789b
I've never heard of the site, do they usually sell a lot of OA?
It's a site that smaller auction houses can use as a bidding platform. So, it's not an auction house per say, but it's a service. I think Profiles uses them if i'm not mistaken.

I mean, sometimes artists do quick sketches. Or try something different. Or have bad days, and produce a piece that's not really representative of their greater body of work or their level of talent. It's a big step to directly claim that a house is auctioning fraudulent or counterfeit material, absent actual evidence to that effect.
I won't go that far from just looking at pictures on the screen. But... what I am saying is that I sure wouldn't want that "Ditko Spiderman" (because it's hideous) and I wouldn't suggest anyone else touch it unless it comes with solidly documented provenance.
correct, the burden of proof should lie on the seller in this case... i will say that in general Steve Ditko was known to refuse doing doodles, and he would especially refuse doodles of anything related to his time at Marvel... so the BURDEN should be pretty BIG.
-
ok i thought that I was sharing the worse of the two "Steve Ditko Spider Man doodles" from the auction... I was wrong
this one is much worse!
At least somebody tried to sign the first one as Steve... this is Sam *garbled reading last name <cough>* Sam Retco?
...if anyone is looking for Ditko Spidey drawings this good... i can totally draw a spiderman this good. 1,500

That Ditko Spider-Man drawing doesn't look suspect - it's FAKE. It's not even close. It's beyond description...
Naw bro Steve D. Itko totally drew that.

I've had this for a while now, but couldn't post about it until the book actually came out, and I wasn't spoiling. Sitting on it was SO hard! lol! I can't wait to read the final issue
