Post your Ghost - Art you can't find that you want 0

[Jesusjon]

Quoting Hal Turner from the Big Fish thread:

 

"But what about The Ghost? That's the piece that you want, that you cherish, that you know is out there SOMEWHERE...but that you've never been able to find? That never went to eBay, that isn't in CAF, that must exist somewhere in the universe -- but that you've never been able to find?

 

For me, The Ghost is as painful as The Big Fish. And my Ghost? I'd love a chance at the OA to the cover of Strangers in Paradise #1 (the Antarctic Press version)...wherever it is.... "

[Jesusjon]

Someone should keep a list of these terms. The Ghost. That's a good one.

 

I propose that those willing "post their Ghost" and maybe someone can help them find it, or at least let them know it's not for sale. Not a full on want list, but specific pages they want to buy.

 

 

Mine are:

 

Ex Machina #1 Pg. #1 - Sold by Tony Harris at a Con/appearance right around when the first issue debuted. The Great Machine heads off the second 9/11 plane.

 

Kingdom Come #1 - Alex Ross - Green Lantern introduction splash with his fortress hovering above Earth.

 

Captain America Summary DPS - Alex Ross - The one that tells Cap's life story in iconic red white and blue imagery.

 

Jim Lee Batman: Hush/Alan Scott page - Young Bruce Wayne and Tommy Elliot look up in the Metropolis sky and see Green Lantern flying overhead.

 

 

What are your Ghosts?

Any Sam Kieth piece of The Maxx.

The Dark Tower: Gunslinger Born issue 1 page 26. It was also the cover of the sketch variant of the same issue. I got into OA a little too late. It sold in Feb 07. Hopefully it's not hanging on some old Stephen King fans wall.

 

I know it's recent, but I have no idea where it went.

Glenn Fabry Preacher #1 cover. It's one of two Preacher covers not owned by the guy that has the other 64. Rumored to have been given as a wedding gift years ago.

My very first piece of original art that I owned. Sold it to pay for school and have regretted it ever since (and have had no leads to its whereabouts)

For me its Jan Duursema Star Wars original pages from Republic or Legacy. I emailed her once and received no response.

[spider9698]

Yes. I was too cheap to pay $800 for a splash page!

Aaarrgggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine is the Jean Grey and Scott Summers Wedding Print from 1994. It was drawn by Joe Mad and inked by Matt Ryan. Jim Warden who reps Joe remembers selling it but doesn't know to whom. That piece is at the top of my wantlist.

 

 

If Anyone knows where this is please email me. Thanks.

 

 

Be seeing you,

Brian

The cvoer the FF #166. I remember seeing it someones CAF,or whatever it was called before CAF,a few years ago. That was the first book I ever bought,and I'd have to say that would be my GRAIL piece!

[westform]

Bechara Malouf still has that cover if I'm not mistaken. Contact him and buy it.... there, grail problem solved!...

[Mephisto]

I wanted the Wolverine Volume 3 # 7 cover. I asked Enrico Salvini about it only to find out it's CGI artwork. I suspected this was a possibility as the image is very sharp. I just love the Apocalypse Now homage.

Almost all of the Harvey art from the 50s exists but the covers you mention are, if my sources are correct, in the hands of a long-time collector.

The cover from G.I.Joe #27 by Mike Golden is the one piece I wish I could own and/or wish I knew where it was. It was the first comic I can remember reading as a kid in school and what got me hooked on reading comics.

 

I'd also consider any interior page from G.I.Joe #27 by Frank Springer but there's one page with Storm Shadow on top of the train that I really like.

 

Another would be the G.I. Joe Yearbook #1 cover, again by Golden.

 

The covers to Web of Spider-Man #1 (Vess) or #4 (Byrne).

 

Any Cosmic Odyssey art. That stuff is few and far between. I only know of two pages for sale, one is way overpriced and the other has an awful (coffee?) stain on it.

 

Alternatively I've been trying pretty unsuccessfully to acquire an Aragones Groo page. You'd think this wouldn't be too hard but I haven't seen too many come up for sale.

Patience is a virue Thomas. You may get that piece on day.
