Hekla Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 OA? What is this "OA" of which you speak...? Congrats on picking up Tyler as a client, Court. I don't see dealers announcing new artists that they are repping on the OA board - is that considered taboo? Shouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see dealers announcing new artists that they are repping on the OA board - is that considered taboo? Shouldn't be. Thanks! I did announce it on the "Original Art Marketplace", but maybe I should have announced it on the main forum as well...? We sold through all but 6 pages of issue 9 in less than 30 minutes, so I think word might be getting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone selling SA x-men covers for cheap? I think SA x-men covers are either lost in a black hole or have the 'NFS - EVER' tag. Some of the OA historians such as Court and Felix may know.

Depends on how old we are talking. I think the OA to the issue 9 cover surfaced in the last year or so...? I don't track SA X-Men covers specifically, but I'm sure there are some that could be had in the $25k+ range depending on issue, artist, etc. The issue 9 cover (IIRC, and it did change hands) was likely in the 50k - 75k range. I'm sure Felix will correct me if I am wrong on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewWorldOrder Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 $23 shipped to CGC for registered and insured. I used the search function and found nothing. I called USPS. Thanks for the help dickheads. 56 pages for a book that only had a 4 page preview. I'm sure all of this talk was about EoW. I kinda am digging my Philly brethren's attitude. Pitchers and catchers are in Clearwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexus Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The cover is very consistent with Hickman's design sensibility. It's branding. He's done this going back to his first book, THE NIGHTLY NEWS. Looks like he's had a clear idea of how he wants his work packaged, from the get-go. Unusual to see that kind of vision from a new creator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Felix will correct me if I am wrong on this. Only knew that the complete X-MEN #9 issue was broken up many years ago (2006)...don't know about the cover at all. If it exists and was sold today, it's a six figure cover, easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember he use to work in advertising and graphic design as well.. Guess that explains his art - which was awesome in The Nightly News and Pax Romana Edited February 16, 2013 by wushugushu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
