Brent Anderson artwork stolen at San Diego.

[Ferran Delgado]

If I posted the incomplete list here in first place was because I also thought that it was important to warn collectors quickly, so if they found someone selling dozens of pages from those series in a flea market, garage sale or similar was aware that it was Brent's stuff.

 

I assumed that could be confussion about legit owners who post their art in CAF or similar. In fact, I own a page included in the initial list, and I had to warn in my CAF gallery that it was not stolen and that I bought it four years ago directly from Brent.

 

But I think that it was a small price to help Brent to recover his stolen stuff.

That really sucks...does he know what Rising Stars pages were stolen? I have been looking for a Rising Stars page and will keep my eye out for any matching.

[Ferran Delgado]

Brent updates the list when possible.

 

Bear in mind that he was far from home when this happened and he couldn't check out what he still owned or check his mail to learn which pages were sold till he arrived at home.

 

If you add deadlines and paperwork at Police Station and search in the zone, I'm not surprised that he's taking so long to release an accurate list.

Brent Anderson Stolen Art Update

October 20, 2011

 

To Whom It May Concern,

 

I need my friends’ help. My car was broken into at the San Diego

Zoo on Monday July 25th, 2011. Approximately 200 pages of my original comic book

art was stolen (pages from "Astro City" (Volumes 1 & 2), “Astro City:Local Heroes,” "Astro City:The Dark Age" Book 1 (#s 1-4), Book 2 (#s 1-4) & Book 3 (#s 1-4) And "Rising Stars" #s 15-24.)

 

The art was in three black 24-page 14”x17” Itoya display portfolios (called

Art Profolios) labeled “Astro City”, “Astro City: The Dark Age”, and “Rising

Stars,” and one black Filexec display book labeled “Green Lantern: Legacy,”

all in mylar sleeves. Each book holds 48 art pages. The stolen portfolios

can be identified by title and hand-written labels along the outside spine.

All four of the portfolios were in a black soft cloth slipcover carrying

case, zippered along the side about three inches from the top. Each page is

labeled at the top with my name, the book’s title, issue # and page number

and a pricing sticker.

Note: On earlier pages, the top line info is not as clearly marked as in more recent pages. A number of them are marked in light faded pencil.

A $500.00 reward has been offered for the safe return of the artwork no questions asked.

Ugh. That really sucks. What makes me sick is to think if this was a simple smash-and-grab, that the perpetrators didn't just throw the artwork away. Typically, they are looking for pawnable, easily-fenced items. And if it doesn't fit in that category, they might just toss it.

 

Good luck, man. I hope for the best for ya.
