Yeah agreed. I could see spending that if he were bouncing around, but there's not much happening on that page. Keep watching comicartfans, eBay and Heritage and maybe a better one will turn up soon. By the way, I did end up posting my Speedball splash this week -- but definitely not looking to sell: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1446872&GSub=187864

A page just showed up for sale -- but it's not cheap. 700 euros and Speedball isn't even in costume: http://www.artefumetto.it/fumetto.asp?id=1736

NYC Comic Art Expo Sunday May 6th 2018 Save The Date!
Ted_L replied to Zaddick's topic in Comic Events
I actually went to my first comic convention at that hotel in the early 80's, when it was called the Statler. I vaguely remember John Byrne doing sketches, but I wasn't smart enough (or maybe rich enough) at that age to be collecting original art just yet. I wouldn't stay there either, but the convention center should be safe enough. Hey -- I take the subway every day, so I guess I'm not that afraid of vermin -
NYC Comic Art Expo Sunday May 6th 2018 Save The Date!
Ted_L replied to Zaddick's topic in Comic Events
I'm planning to attend this show. This is much easier to get to for those of us who live in the New York area and prefer to take public transportation. This is directly across the street from Penn Station and a very quick and easy trip for me from Long Island. I want to be clear that I have absolutely nothing against the Comic Art Con that Joe and Dan run. This is just much more convenient for me. I guess we'll have to wait and see if there's enough demand to support two shows in the area. -
The pages I bought in the mid 90's to early 2000's came from Jackson Guice and Bruce Patterson so I know they sold some if not all of their pages long ago. Chris Ivy had a page for sale about a year ago -- not sure if he's the inker you tried contacting or not. He may have only inked one Ditko story though.
-
Since Ditko didn't ink the series himself, a good percentage of pages and some covers were returned to his inkers. I owned and sold three panel pages in the early 2000's and still own the splash page 1 to issue 1. That was the first piece of art I ever bought in 1995, so sorry not selling. If you're patient, I'm sure a page will show up again at some point. Good luck and Happy New Year!

The Official "Does Anybody Know Where This Art Is?" Thread
Ted_L replied to delekkerste's topic in Original Comic Art
Looking for the John Byrne pencil art to the final page of the 1982 Silver Surfer one-shot. I have the published Tom Palmer art which was done on duo shade board. I was told that Palmer lightboxed this from Byrne's pencils, but I haven't ever seen the Byrne version. If it's not for sale, then I'd still really love to see a scan. Thanks, Ted -
Thanks for the review Buzzetta. Sorry to hear that their security process is still a joke. They had that issue at a concert I went to shortly after the Coliseum re-opened. That's one of several reasons why I'm avoiding the place until they get new management. It doesn't sound like I missed too much. Looking forward to NYCC in October. The crowds can be a bit much, but they know how to run a great show!

I live on Long Island, but didn't go because I heard it wasn't well organized last year and also I had a bad experience when attending a concert at the new Nassau Coliseum. I'm a bit spoiled from New York Comic Con, which is well run, particularly if you like to see comic artists. Maybe I'll attempt to go next year if someone has something positive to say

Hopefully they'll reopen that. It definitely went below market price.
-
I was shocked at how low the final price was -- it sold for more than $16K on Heritage in 2012! I'd be pretty pissed if I were the consignor. On the plus side, I got a great Chaykin Weird Worlds page for a bargain price. I think that was shortly before the glitch though.

The Official "Does Anybody Know Where This Art Is?" Thread
Ted_L replied to delekkerste's topic in Original Comic Art
Astonishing Tales #1 https://www.comics.org/issue/23646/ I used to own a page from this years ago and see them show up once in a while. -
Who had the Sienkiewicz New Mutants page and was there a listed price?
-
I'm glad this thread has come back to life. I bought this from an ad in Comics Buyers' Guide in 1995. It was $200, which seemed like a lot of money at the time. It's still one of my favorites.

Is theartistschoice doing a sale again this year?
Ted_L replied to Real Elijah Snow's topic in Original Comic Art
I ordered on Jan 7 and got my art on Feb 22. Having said that, it's not that unusual for Spencer to fall very behind in shipping/communication. You might want to send another mail and then wait a bit longer. He's slow, but I've never known him not to come through eventually. Here's what I bought in case anyone is curious. Regards, Ted -
Bob Lubbers drew the covers to #13 (Sept 1978) through #16 (Dec 1978) and the interior of #16 and #17 (Jan 79) which is why I suspect it's from that time period. Of course those ads are sometimes inaccurate -- such as the Dr. Strange ad showing Frank Miller taking over the book.
-
Hi All, Can anyone help me identify where this Human Fly ad appeared? I'm trying to locate the exact issue. (I tried the Grand Comics Database, but no luck.) Based on the creative team, I'm thinking this would have been somewhere around late 1978 to early 1979. Someone had sent me the scan years ago, but unfortunately I lost their contact details. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ted

Red Sonja #15 unpublished cover by Cockrum: recommended inkers
Ted_L replied to Brian Peck's topic in Original Comic Art
Some interesting suggestions. I particularly like the Frank Brunner idea. Here's something from my collection in case you're curious to see what Rudy Nebres might do: http://www.comicsfun.com/comicsart/Trade/CockrumFantasy Regards, Ted -
Red Sonja #15 unpublished cover by Cockrum: recommended inkers
Ted_L replied to Brian Peck's topic in Original Comic Art
Here are several possibilities: Bob McLeod -- He always does a great job and is very reliable. My only caveat here is that his style tends to overpower Cockrum a bit. Al Milgrom -- I'm kind of curious what this combination would look like. I think they did a few covers together in the 70's. Bob Layton -- While he's more of a penciller, I think their styles are very compatible and they did work together on occasion. Bob is also great to deal with. Joe Rubinstein -- Probably would do a great job, but I know he's been unreliable in the past so you'd need to be cautious. Bob Wiacek -- I've never interacted with him, but he did some nice work with Dave in the 70's and 80's and is active online. Finally, I'd love to see Steve Lightle take a stab at this. He's primarily a penciller and not from the right era, but he drew an amazing Red Sonja story and I think his style would compliment Dave's very well. Good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished piece if you do end up going ahead with this. Regards, Ted -
Very sad. I posted a few pieces to comicartfans in his honor: http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=180433 Regards, Ted

I was pleasantly surprised to see that my Rush cover got 2 votes, considering the amazing pieces in that category: http://www.comicartfans.com/LowryPiece.asp?Piece=8446 I guess there must be a few other Rush fans out there Regards, Ted

I'm pretty sure that "letter of authenticity" is a complete fabrication. I agree that no reputable company would return a form without a legible name or contact details on it somewhere. Hopefully no one will be fooled by this.

Thanks to Bronty for the Heritage link. It's just concerning when counterfeiters go as far as copying the copyright sticker. Thankfully the caliber of forger still isn't that good for comic art
