I can't page all the way through that film/tv thread, but I'm going to assume it mentions how the entire plot of The Ice Storm hinges on the lead's interpretation of FF 141.

And Robert Sean Leonard tries to seduce Chloe Sevigny by showing off his Carl Barks original art in The Last Days of Disco, which someone seems to have screenshot: http://perusingcomics.blogspot.com/2014/09/67-last-days-of-disco-1998.html If she was unimpressed it might be because they seem to be color guides.

I wish I had seen this with my own eyes, but back when grafitti on subway cars was a competitive sport (think 1976), famously someone had tagged an entire car with "GET DOWN AMERICA" and the huge Bernie Wrightson portrait of Howard the Duck. Couldn't find it in google images, but here's a consolation prize - taken from the cover of HTD 20, I think?

I don't know about modern artists but Segar used a stencil with Popeye when answering fan requests. The stencil came up for auction a few years ago - one of our fellow collectors bought it.

The new description has...a lot of passive voice. I feel a worse person could make a joke here about a train wreck, but luckily I'm not like that.

A friend of mine involved with this project sent me their website. It's got some very cool images, and maybe just maybe someone here knows where some of the lost artwork is. Check it out: https://www.lostartofoz.com/ G

Ah...right. This is ringing some bells. Someone theorized that the Code didn't like the train smashing -- too scary. Thanks for the info.

My brain is a sieve. Does anyone else remember this splash coming up in an auction within the last, I dunno, 5 years, with some kind of whiteout or corrections involving the train in Titan's...paws? Are those paws? Fins? Anyway, the train looks odd to my eye and I feel like this was discussed before. https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/splash-pages/jack-kirby-and-russ-heath-tales-of-suspense-28-splash-page-1-original-art-marvel-1962-/a/7236-94083.s?ic2=mytracked-lotspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyTrackedLots-101116

You say "obviously fake," but to some people they truly aren't obvious. That's one reason I keep linking to auctions, even when I think "no, there's no way anyone could think this was real." Because everyone's eye is different...

Last big HA event, I opened my browser, left the room to get my coffee, and came back to see my cat walking back and forth across the keyboard. I was afraid he'd pulled a Russ.

Okay, I think we all need to know more about this prize at this point.

But...but...he's wearing a vest.

I can't put my finger on it, but this thread reminds me of the scene in Logan's Run where everyone in the stadium is chanting "Renew! Renew!" and taking bets on who will be renewed, somehow never taking in that every contestant dies anyway. Mebbe ya had to be there...

One tiny pouch, 1/2 missing foot. Just sayin'

But you forget...what if there are...

I have no opinion on the value until we hear a good condition report and get better scans. Also I am skeptical that this will appeal outside of our community. This isn't an X-Men or Avengers level of character. The Punisher logo is known out there, but not so much the character. And, uh, I think guys who like the logo have already spent most of their disposable income this year on ammo.

I am really curious what more detailed images will tell us about the art's condition. I can't recall another cover from that era with such a large border. Maybe Kane ripped it right off the printing press to sell it?

The page that went for 155K was a half-splash with the Surfer. And a collector was putting together another Surfer book but not this one.

I think that cover didn't sell then, as it ended up in the summer 1993 Sotheby's auction. I want to say it went for $1800 there, but I don't have my catalogue in front of me.

Wait, so Shatterstar above has feet...and very few pouches. The Shatterstar in the original artwork for auction has no feet...and yet...many pouches. >shudder< WHAT'S IN ALL THOSE POUCHES?

I have never seen this piece of art before, I don't know who the character is, I don't know what book it's from, but it's Liefeld, right? I could tell because + pouches and - feet.

This is a masterpiece, only not in the way the artist intended. https://www.ebay.com/itm/124355697122 Every escalating detail in the description makes it almost glorious in its struggle to be even remotely related in any way to Jack Kirby. Chapeau bas, dude. I'm particularly fond of his use of the words "re-envisioned," "embellished," and "completed." Although his covering all bases by ALSO coming out with a litho of this piece is a kind of genius. Especially given that there's debate about whether Jack even drew the piece that he traced.

Did they use this image as a Marvel Value Stamp? I feel like they did.
