Guest Reader Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Going back to the original posters comments when he says ' Steranko vintage originals have recently sold for $30-100K, with recreations reselling for $30K, so the investment aspect is significant. .' Does anyone have any examples of this? You hardly see any Steranko originals selling in the first place so im wondering what these figures are refering to. Im not questioning what the OP is saying im just wondering what your average Captain America, Nick Fury or X-Men Steranko panel page would cost. Here are two recent sales: 100k http://www.romitaman.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=15907&ArtistId=1076&Details=0&From=Room If someone remembers the price on this recreation please share. If I remember correctly it was quite a bit over 30k: http://www.romitaman.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=11643&ArtistId=1076&Details=0&From=Room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Jim, it'd cost something a bit south of $13K to get a full color cover recreation at 18"x25". If this is an indication of the quality, that's pretty tempting.

AKA Rick Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Was your Captain America done only in pencils? If it is, it looks so tight, it actually looks inked. I just received mine today of Captain America: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=948914&GSub=137092 This is posted with his permission, of course. I hope that helps people make their decision. I am very pleased by what I received and it was a first rate transaction. Mr Steranko was very professional, polite, friendly, displayed a good sense of humor and kept me informed all the way through. I have no complaints whatsoever.

montrealfilmguy Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hi fellas, Would any of you know if he Steranko would actually do artwork inside a book ? I was thinking of making him sign my Steranko:Graphic narrative book from the 1978 Winnipeg exhibition,but i'd be awesome if he was to accept doing artwork inside one of the white pages and sign it.

Speedy-D Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I do know that he's pretty responsive to emails. You could probably ask him and get an answer right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstoppablejayd Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Does anyone know if he is still doing commissions? And if the contact info is still good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) I saw him at a convention last year and he said he wasn't taking new ones as he had some to do still. But why not go through the link and try? Worst he can say is no. He is on twitter as well and tweets all the time.

mking78 Posted Monday at 06:31 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:31 PM Don’t know the politics involved, but I have been waiting for my Steranko (Cap and Fury) Volume 2 Artist Edition for what…about 10 years now? was told a few years ago they were waiting on him to finish layouts/design. Maybe no money for him in the Artist Edition, but I still hope we see it someday. Guess commissions pay the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy_S Posted Thursday at 08:16 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:16 PM Talked with Steranko for about a half hour at the HeroesCon after-party this past weekend. From what he was saying, it sounds like he's pivoting to working on the History of Comics vol 3, and cutting back on conventions outside of the upper East coast where he lives. He said it was an 11-hour drive from his home to Charlotte and "do you know what I could do with 11 hours?!" As far as commissions, I know he typically has sketches available at cons, but outside of that, doubt he takes much, if any, commission work anymore.

Sometimes I tell myself I'm so naive that it's laughable… I thought Steranko was always driven to conventions in a limo (or a private jet) by a cohort of lady chauffeurs, with him at the rear, in the meantime, "xeroxing" Nick Fury LMD head sketches by hundreds. By himself behind the wheel... What a disillusion ! Edited Friday at 09:36 AM by Ecclectica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By himself behind the wheel... What a disillusion ! Your version is probably isn't super far off from the truth! He has assistants that travel with him and do the heavy lifting of getting him set up for conventions, he's not sitting behind the wheel for 11 hours. Steranko's 86 years old and... Steranko; holding court and flirting with women while looking impeccable is his main job. Ecclectica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
