In Praise of Title Spash Pages

[Pirate]

WOW!

 

Great thread and great pieces (thumbs u

 

Picked this up last month. It's the splash page by Mike Perkins of the new Quasar. I think she looks better than the old one

 

Next to it is how the finished piece looks:

 

 

I will post a few more before going to bed. I am also looking forward to seeing more of everyones splash pages! (thumbs u

 

aah so you were the one who grabbed that. I saw it was sold on Mike's site, nothing else from that book was interesting. Nice pickup.

.............and finally, I picked this up this past summer.

 

Paul Ryan from one of my favorite maxi-series!

 

She looks like she's having a pretty good time

 

Gary your middle name?

[sborock]

No, but you can call me Gary if it makes you feel good

[Sharkey]

Got this too, by some guy named Kirby.

 

[sborock]

Sweet piece, but I never heard of this Kirby guy. Is he new?

On the topic, I'm quite fond of this title splash page from the Return of Superman:

You can bring that to Mid Ohio and have Tony Isabella sign it Gary!

A beautiful page from a great story.

Great thread..I love splash pages and I agree that splash title pages are the dog's bollocks.

Especially like the pages with the indica included..makes it even more a part of comic history.

 

Alas I only own one page so far that fits in this category...

 

[FlyingDonut]

Not a title page, but still pretty cool. First ever appearance of the Marvel Zombies:

 

[EvilAsh]

Awesome!

Well if you are only going to own one title splash that is a great one to own (thumbs u

The one thing I still collect in Original Art is House of Mystery splashes with Cain. I have a REALLY nice one I don't have access to photograph right now, It's the title Splash from HOM 276. I have these two coming to me and I couldn't be more excited about them!

Here's my only title page from Kevin Maguire's run on Justice League:

 

[Mephisto]

This one hangs above the door to my office (just enough space) , so I see it everytime I enter and it can also be seen from where I sit in the grading room.

 

Scarlet Spider by Shawn McManus

 

 

Steve, I would've guessed that you had your Giant-Size Man-Thing in that spot...I guess it wouldn't fit. I figured you'd want your Giant-Sized Man-Thing to be on display for all to see.
