Does anyone here collect Bronze Age art???

jimm94 · February 14, 2005

Have you gotten any new pieces lately, Steve? I look forward to seeing you at WC! Maybe we can take a few minutes to glance at some pages together as we did last year. I probably won't be buying any art at the con, though. I have my eye on some bigish books that will probably consume most of my budget.

Let's make sure we "take ten" just to look at art on Friday or Saturday! I am looking forward to seeing you and the "gang".

I just picked up some pieces, but the only Bronze-ish piece was a Huntress splash (Bondage! ) from a backup story in a Wonder Woman comic (forgot the issue #, it's at the frame shop).

Thanks to Litch, I also picked up the cover to Transmetropolitain # 34 by Darick Robertson , the cover to Ghost Rider 2099 # 16 by Ashley Wood and a Spider-Girl splash (with the female Green Goblin) by Ron Frenz . I will try to post them in the original art thread in comics general later.........

heritage is just like any other auction house with respect to the buyer's premium. as stated, factor it into your price. it's very simple. it's the seller that gets hit by the premium, not the calculating buyer.

they do have rent, employees, catalogues to print, advertising, etc. to pay for.

i've never bought anything on one of those auctions (yes, the premium usually makes everything seem to expensive), but i've been happy with the stuff i've bought directly from heritage, which I guess they're liquidating or whatever.

i can't stand to pay a 20% buyers fee, and have read bad bad things about heritage, so i stay away...however...that 'Our Army At War #198 Cover ' is fantastic...it's so much fun seeing things for the first time...and another example of me prefering the b/w art to the color...

I always hear this and shake my head, I just don't get it

NOTHIING TO DO WITH HERITAGE, but what do you care if there is a buyers fee?

Work it into the amount you WANT to pay at any auction house. If the is a 10% fee and you want to pay about $100 bid $90. It's very simple. If you get out bid, it has NOTHING to do with the buyers fee, it's just someone was willing to pay more than you.

Comic sellers/dealers charge whatever they want. I have known some that charge a huge % over what they paid for a certain item, you just don't know it because you do not know what they paid.

Please do not get me wrong, I am not saying that sellers/dealers gouge people, hell, some are so cool they sometimes even flip books to their best customers for cost, I am just trying to prove a point about "buyers fees"

i see, but i still need to read it again a few times to let the concepts sink in.

thank you for explaining to me what my simple mind could not comprehend.

some of you guys need to remember that not everyone is intelligent

as you may be, please be patient.

folks like me thank you for the assistance here and hopefully in the future as well.

i now love buyer's fees and wish they cost us more.

I thought this would be a good thread to post this cool splash page. I don't actually own it, but I have first dibs if the owner ever decides to sell it....

I think it's pretty cool!

That's what I love about Bongo comics. Groening is a major fanboy who is now creating comics. They have had some great parody covers.

I recently bought a huge lot of bronze art. This is the only one that had the book title and number clipped off although I'm pretty sure it's HOS and it's dated 1980.

Can anyone help me identify the issue?

DNAgent · February 24, 2005

i'm gonna say house of mystery (that looks like cain)...in the 290's...

e.r.cruz's artwork is just lovely...

does anyone know why they clipped the corners off

of these pages?

I'm told that this is Bronze Age art, even though I posted it earlier in the Copper Age art thread. This is one of my all-time favorite Ghost Rider covers from my favorite Ghost Rider art team: Bob Budiansky and Dave Simons. This is their cover to No. 70 that I recently received.

Norrin_Radd · February 25, 2005

Sweet GR cover! Thanks for sharing.

matewan1990 · March 8, 2005

Here's another cover I received recently. It's the Rich Buckler/Jack Abel cover art to Super Team Family 9 with the Challengers of the Unknown battling a fire creature I believed, at the time (hey, I was a small child) was the Human Torch. Thanks to Jim Cardillo for him selling me this cover art.
