Hey All, Just a reminder that I will be setting up at the NJ Comic Art Con this Saturday, Sept. 9 at the Holiday Inn, 283 Route 17 South, Hasbrouck Heights, NJ This will be my only show till 2018 San Diego Comic-Con. If you have interest in a specific piece of art from my website, let me know before Friday afternoon, so I'm sure to bring it. Look forward to seeing you there! Best, Mitch Itkowitz Graphic Collectibles

No, the owner had it for several years. Gave it to me for SD and then decided to give it to ComicLink during the show.

Crapshoot for the owner as he paid quite a bit more. I had for sale at San Diego for a couple days, and then the owner gave it to ComicLink.

It has a long way to go before it hits reserve.

Yeah, no. WW covers don't turn up very often.

Damn nice cover. Art is by Irv Novick from a layout by Infantino. I sold the cover for WW #174 last year. PM me and I'll give you more info Best, Mitch Itkowitz Graphic Collectibles

And I'll be making my first appearance at the show! If there is anything you specifically want me to bring, let me know as soon aspossible. Mitch Itkowitz Graphic Collectibles

Good Afternoon All, Hope everyone is having a good Summer. Coming off of our most successful San Diego Con ever, I present to you an extremely large Comic Art update to the web site. Yes, I know Heritage has its Comic Art auction today and tomorrow, but this update is too good to hold back any longer! You will now be able to add art to your cart from the "What's New" page. I would like to introduce at this time, Tony Sandoval. Tony Sandoval was born in 1973 in the desert of Northwest Mexico. His first works were Nocturno (90's) and Blacky (2001). Both were self-published with his brother. From 2001 to 2005 he created illustrations in Mexico. In 2005 he started to work on bandes dessinées (literally drawn strips, Franco-Belgian comics) for Paquet Editions in Switzerland. He's currently working on a comic called Waternaskes. Some of his books are, "1000 Tempetes", "Le Cadavre et le Sofa", and "Doomboy". Check out the incredible drawings in his gallery. We will have published pages in the near future.

Everyone I took a check from I've known for years. In 40 years of exhibiting at San Diego, I've never had anyone bounce a check. I don't do wire transfers if I haven't done business with the client in the past.

I can't tell you how many checks I received over the week from buyers.

Just a bump to let everyone know that my deadline for receiving art for San Diego Con, is July 7th. After that date, any art consigned will have to be shipped to my Hotel, on my Fed Ex account. You can also drop art off at my booth any time during the Con. So far, I have received quite a bit of extremely nice originals. See above for the type of art I'm looking for. Email me at mitkowitz@hvc.rr.com or call at 845-246-0952 Thanks! Best, Mitch Itkowitz Graphic Collectibles

Scott, You would make easy money. No Miller inks on this page.

Yes, Frank did actually put pencil to board for all the covers. MI

No Miller pencils on this whole book. Klaus enlarged Frank's 8 x 11 layouts, so there had to be pencil on the board. Just not Frank's in this case. I know this as I was Klaus's agent and remember seeing a lot of Miller's layout on typing paper for Klaus. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble. MI

Yup, with art. Look at the prices achieved for the Ethan Roberts collection earlier this year. If not for the Pedigree and the quality, I doubt prices would have been as high as they were. And let's not forget the Charles Martignette collection at Heritage.

Anytime you put a name to a specific collection, ie Jon Berk or Ethan Roberts collection at Heritage, you're always going to have higher prices with a pedigreed collection. MI

Exactly.

I indeed sold the DKR 1 cover several years ago. MI

Thanks for everyone's help
