For newer stuff you would go to the artist rep (or the artist himself)

 

Something that old, that was presumably sold by the artist already is way tougher, options include:

 

1. Trying the artist or rep to see if they remember who they sold it to. I've never done it, and even if they are willing to divulge the info, the original buyer might not have it.

 

2. Search CAF, which I presume you already did

 

3. Find a collector with a similar collecting focus to see if they have ever run across that art before.

You could try contacting Jeff Jaworski, who helps out Keith Pollard along with other artists. Here's the site: http://www.comicbook-art.com/keithpollard.htm

 

Jeff's a great guy to work with, and I've seen Keith at various conventions with stacks of art, so it's possible he may still have some Inhumans stuff. Good luck!

he wants the cover so shouldn't he contact milgrom?

I assumed by wanting "others", he meant the interior pages.

Another cover and pages I guess Ill put out to ask if anyone knows locations for

 

Incredible Hulk #175

 

Herb Trimpe cover

he wants the cover so shouldn't he contact milgrom?

 

Al is one of 'those' creators that keeps as much of his own stuff as he can. If he did the cover, there's a fair chance he still has it. He also isn't likely to sell if he does still have it.

Just close the loop and thank the individuals who help your search. You never know if they are the one that can help you next time.

 

Also, around that time frame the artist may have use just about anything to do the art on unless the publisher provided the material. Contacting the artist should at least let you know whether the art is in existance or whether it was done on so poor of material that it has since joined the sands of time.
