Spiderman & Captain America arcade games artwork

[buyatari]

I bought a huge collection of videogame artwork this summer. Most of it I'm sure is of little interest to you guys but I did pick up some comic related art in the deal.

 

These are for the Spiderman and Captain America arcade machines. I'm not a huge arcade fan so I'll most likey put these up for sale in the near future. Whats the best bet for something like this? Ebay?

Do you know when these drawn and who drew them?

 

Price can also be affected by something as small as what kind of art board and, of course, condition of the work. And...while these would have at least some interest to the average OA fan (and much more interest if the artist is someone of note)...there must be collectors that specialize in arcade paraphernalia. That would be an obvious starting place.

Both machines were released in 1991. I know that Frank Cirocco did artwork for Captain America and the Avengers but I'd have to check on the Spiderman.

Is it original art or stat?

Whats stat?

 

Sorry, I'm mostly a videogame collector so I'm not up on all the verbage.

 

This artwork came from the project head. It was used to create the images on the arcade machines seen below. I am unsure if the art was used anywhere else. Did that answer your question?

 

Spiderman

 

 

 

 

Captain America & the Avengers

Original art indicates original pen and ink drawing on paper. Stat is short for photostat which is a camera-ready xerox made of the original art. If you look at the pieces closely you should be able to tell.

Ahh ok thanks for the tip. These are the original pen/ink on paper drawings.

Are you sure all those pieces are original artwork?

It appears to me most of them are stats.

That's what I thought

Well that would suck. Everything else so far has been original. Once they arrive I'll post some better pictures.
