I think that's a John Willie directly over her left arm in the freeze frame. You don't see those every day.

The Grand Comics Database says: In The Avengers #197 letters page, Michelinie writes that Frank Miller "was able to add some identifying details to Sal Buscema's pencil art."
"Hi, Sal, it's me. Yeah, no problem. Look, if you're drawing Pittsburgh, the thing to remember is that all the women are whores. Okay, bye."

Just noticed this in the weekly HA auction....partially credited to "Frank Miller details".
Did Miller work on the interiors to this book? If so, to what extent did he contribute?
Thanks.
Mike
It's okay, I don't think Miller's contribution will dilute the value of Sal B's work.

And a two-fer from the same auction. Fake Kirby Fake Royer:

I have to say, this one is pretty hilarious: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/83324208_jack-kirby-american-1917-1994-ink-drawing
Does someone more familiar with contemporary Thor know when this costume started? It seems to be a salute, if that's the word, to Journey 83/

"Meet up?" Is Boston not sheltering in place?

Completely agree. I found myself in the same situation several times last year.
Well, clearly what you have to do is buy a second portfolio and then fill both of them up.

Another copy from the Roz sketchbook. Please enjoy the stamp on the back. Clearly the forger thought he deserved to give himself a kind of prize.

People will congregate, there will be home parties, and the politicians will be under too much pressure to relent. Then, we will learn that the anti-malaria drug works, or the virus is not being spread as much because hot weather kills viruses (so I have heard), or maybe something like Rollaids gives immunity. By Memorial Day, this will be on its way to a bad memory.
I screen shot this and hope on Memorial Day to raise a glass to your prediction.
Hope you're right. But I think there's going to be a different outcome.

Anybody remember anything from the auctions around the 2008 banking crisis? How did they pan out?
I love doing deep dives like this and am looking right now. You can play along too. But I got distracted by sorting "sold-Jack Kirby-oldest auctions first" and am now scrolling through 19 years worth of results. So much stuff I forgot about! 2760 Kirby results! https://comics.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?N=52+1067+790+231&Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&Nty=1&Ntt=jack+kirby&ic4=KeywordSearch-A-X-071316

I am very curious whether this auction is going to happen as scheduled.

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.
"Jen? Jen who? Dis Wilford."

Getting away from this turd for a moment, I was thinking about the number of non-comic book drawings of Spider-Man that Ditko might have done. I know that he did a drawing (or two) for an early NYC comic convention but apart from that I don't know that I've seen any others.
Has anyone seen anything beyond the convention booklet?
Yeah. He did a couple of "self"-portraits that were actually Spidey and Dr. Strange and an inkwell, but more to the point, he did one, and as far as I remember only one, small-ish piece of Spidey running at you (not that different from the big poster design) for a fan who wrote in and requested one, circa 1965. Albert had it back in the '90s. I had it in hand, but can't quite remember every detail. It was, as I recall, on a piece of stationery, or paper that was stationery sized, so it was probably about 5 x 8 or so? I want to say it sold for the price of a decent action page. Can't remember how it was inscribed.

Holy . Here's another copy, signed by Wilford Brimley. Will this madness never end?
Those Wilford Brimley issues of ASM were some of the best in the run. This might be one of those recreations for Sotheby's. It was a toss up whether Mike's shop was going to be brimleyman.com or not.
(if you need an emoji here to know whether i'm joking, it might be time to take a walk outside and pet a dog.)

Here’s a pic of their “staff of 2” as noted above. This is from the Relic Vintage Facebook page.
Thank you, Andrew. I just shaved my soul patch.

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?

Did Ayers ink a lot of Romita's stuff? How do people feel about his work over JRs compared to the usual suspects?

Hey Glen, I think that's just a "ploy" that they do. It SAYS "sold for $12k (10 plus HA fees?) but then asks u to "make an offer to the owner" (in this case $15,600 minimum offer)
So what, are we supposed to believe that the "new" owner immediately put it back up for sale??
I am always ready to believe there are shenanigans going on, so sure, maybe it's a scam here, but there are plenty of other things that have sold that the new owners are instantly amenable to offers on. I'm not seeing the same thing you are, though - I see the sold at $12K thing, but I don't see the $15,600 you're supposed to offer. Is that what happens when you click on "make offer?"
The deal went bad!!

You'd think, but I can see grapeape's position. Once upon a time there was a piece of art that I wanted - the seller and I were close to a price that was a little above market on it, which was fine. Then he doubled the price because he'd googled me and decided I was rich. "You can afford it," as he said. Well, needless to say...no. And that thing has kicked around auctions ever since, never close to the higher price, often just around what I would have paid for it, and I have never had any interest in it since.
PS No, I'm not rich. You'd have to have a pretty optimistic viewpoint on novel-writing to think that.
