My collection

[Unca Ben]

I finally got a scanner and am in the process of posting some pieces on Comicartfans.

 

You can check it out here http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=4303

 

I am working my way through my modern size pages first, large art to follow.

 

I'm still getting the hang of the scan settings, and stitching the scans together; I'm seeing a tan area and some loss of resolution where the art board slightly lifts off the scanner glass as it hangs over the raised lip around the glass.

This shows up as a slightly blurred and sometimes tan area in the middle of the art scan where the two halves are merged.

 

I think I've solved it the best I can, but scanning and merging large art in quadrants is going to be tougher than scanning smaller art in halves.

 

Would it be appropriate to post some of the pieces in this thread?

You have some wonderful pages but my favorites are easily the Kirby FF pages.

I will start hating you now!

 

Sweet collection!

All beautiful pieces, each for their own reasons.

Thank you all for the kind words.

 

After these many years of enjoying the OA and comics, raw and slabbed, that others have posted, it feels good to be able to reciprocate.

 

Here's a Romita Cap page.

Here's a Buscema / Palmer Avengers panel page. Most of my art is panel pages.

One of the few Splashes I have. It isn't this tan in areas in real life; I'm still learning the nuances of scanning.

Having an A4 scanner for large pieces is tricky. (I got the scanner for free, I'm not complaining)

 

I will rescan this one, I'm sure.

One more...

These are great pieces of art you have! The dialogue in this one is great - it tells a completely different story than the one in the art. And that Cap can keep up with a speeding hawk for any period of time is crazy.

My favorite is the Romita FF Namor vs. Thing page

The scan makes the stains look worse than they really are.

That's funny! I didn't notice that before!

I guess I really like Buscema & Palmer.
