Good places to buy original comic art

[dam60]

Guys, I am looking for some good places to buy original comic art, specifically any and all pages from Batman 426-429 "a Death in the Family"

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Mmm, maybe try here:

 

www.geocities.com/mignolaart/1988.html

I believe Spencer Beck reps Jim Aparo. Not sure if he has any art from those specific issues but you could give him a try. If not, you could commission a piece from Aparo thru him. Here is the site: http://www.theartistschoice.com/

 

Good luck,

Mark

Spencer Beck does rep Aparo...I bet those Death in the Family pages are long gone, though, and will be very tough to pry loose from their owner(s).

 

I agree, the commissioning route may be the better way to go. I'll take a nice pen & ink drawing on Bristol board any day compared to a panel page on standard Marvel or DC artboard! I feel that you're getting more pure "art" with commissioned drawings while original pages are equal parts "art" and "collectible".

 

I just commissioned Frank Brunner to do a piece for me after seeing the incredible examples on his website (www.frankbrunner.net)...his fee is pretty reasonable for an artist of his stature.

No offense to anyone but who is going to take an original art dealer seriously whose web page is based in the free Geocities webpages?

argh! Frank Brunner's website is seriously annoying!

 

Gene Colan has some nice stuff on his page - his commissioned artwork is very attractive as well.

Colan's commissioned Cap stuff is A+

another good one is graphiccollectibles.com

lots of top notch material.

I've been looking around the original art-sites the last couple of days and I just can't seem to find any Mike Mignola art for sale anywhere... No Hellboy pages--no nothing

 

The link our German friend provided is a fan-site, with lots and lots of gorgeous Mignola stuff, but nothing for sale alas

[dam60]

Guys, thanks for all these great suggestions! Please keep 'em coming!

Mignola does not sell thru dealers & doesn't really sell over the net. Most of his stuff is moved by himself at the San Diego Con each year.

hey mcd......what's the show that your avatar is from?......was it called the "Herculoids"?.......I can't remember.

Gene's sight must not be updated very often - I bought that Daredevil Annual #1 page #5 from him in San Diego 2 years ago.

Subscribe to Russ Cochran's orig. art catalog. It is promoted by Gemstone on the diamond.scoop webpage. Telephone, fax or email bids in. He just completed an auction Wednesday that included a vintage Hal Foster Tarzan Sunday, 3 Hogarth Tarzan Sundays, Peanuts strip art (no Snoopy), Gil Kane 2 pg Adv into Fear (Morbius) art, etc. Over 1/2 the lots in this particular auction had NO reserves. Problem is u can't see who the heck u are bidding against like on eBay. However, Russ specifically states in his Rules that (shill) bids will only be used up to the hidden reserve price. The auction house or inside staff may not be bidding against u above the reserve like at Heritage.

hey mouse, that is herculoids from the hanna and barbara cartoon show

[Illiterati-migration]

Igoo rules!

Carsten Laqua usually has some nice Batman pages for sale. Highly recommend visiting his site; he is a pleasure dealing with too. Like Odin88, I also recommend Russ Cochran's catalogs (quality is so high that I actually started collecting these).

 

[jens25e]

Sure there is stuff for sale on that site, chromium. The Batman issues are just for gallery ideas though.

 

And by the by, I have seen beautiful sites with cool domain names and no content and I have seen ugly sites, hosted at geocities or elsewhere with interesting information (I don´t say that the link I posted is so very interesting though).

[jens25e]

uhhh no I was wrong, he really doesn´t sell his art pieces at the moment...
