I figured this would be a good place to corral them all.

 

 

 

Bagley ASM 363 cover...almost $17k!!

[spider9698]

Not even a dozen lots in and I am already shaking my head.

 

[comix4fun]

I had the ASM 363 earmarked for less than 1/3 of what it sold for.

I was thinking the ASM page would be around 10k but I was wrong The things I was looking at are coming up at the end, but I doubt that I'll be even close on those either, heh.

Killing Joke page with one panel of Joker is up next....

 

 

Just over $19k.

[spider9698]

Wow. No live bidding on KJ page

 

[Bronty]

seems like a good buy. Even if there was no visual punch / long underwear characters it was a cool page and joker-centric. someone will make some money on it down the road

[Bronty]

anybody else having audio problems?

Bagley ASM 363 cover...almost $17k!!

 

The buyer must have thought it was McFarlane.

 

Otherwise, it must have totally bullseyed somebody's nostalgic sweet spot.

[comicartcom]

there are some pieces in the auction that are actually quite sad.

 

here is one

Prince Valiant hand colored Sunday and Heritage definitely notes that the coloring was NOT done by Hal Foster

 

these are some of the pieces that the fool who now resides in the nuthouse in NYC knitting sweaters had colored. The one linked above is an outstanding example that while not "ruined" by a bad coloring job, IS ruined by a fool doing something he never should have done.

Same here, it's a crazy price for that cover

[LastRaven]

I wonder if the cover's price may have been due to more of the fact that it was part of the "Maximum Carnage" storyline, which I knew about without reading comics when I was young because of the video game / outside media exposure...

Craig Crime cover does 63K!!!

STRONG price but an iconic cover.

 

[Bronty]

must be a record for non-frazetta EC?

 

Wonderful cover. Deserves the cash IMO

[delekkerste]

must be a record for non-frazetta EC?

 

Wally Wood.

[spider9698]

Could be. Some private sales may have it beat though

 

[spider9698]

Yup, many Wood covers have that piece beat.

 

[Bronty]

oh yeah

[jbud73]

I got BLOWN out of the Water on the first 2 I was interested in so much so that i was happy to lose.

Wasn't a part of Maximum Carnage. That was a 14-part (?) crossover that came later.

 

This cover was part 3 of the first (3-part) story that introduced Carnage, so it's his third appearance, after 361 and 362.
