Grail Art?

[DiceX]

Here's the scenario.

All comic lovers have that one piece of original art that they would love to have.

You have the funds, every page/cover/pinup ever drawn has been made available for sale.

You can only buy one piece of art.

What's your "Grail Art" and why would you choose it over everything else?

ASM #25 cover art by the great Steve Ditko.

 

It's out there somewhere...

Well, I don't have any art, and I have even less cash than art, but if I could get a piece of art, the most recent thing that comes to mind is in the Ultimates #1 Vol. 2 when Cap. America is jumping out of the Blackhawk. Or, That last astonishing X-Men when Colossus tosses Wolverine at Ord's ship.

Silver Surfer 4 cover. No doubt.

A JIM fan?

 

I have say though Supa, that after a Ditko ASM cover, I would chose a Kirby Thor. Fantastic stuff.

The Rob Liefeld cover to X-Force vol. 1, #1.

[blowout]

A great thread BTW Dice, nice bit of possitivity for the boards.

[heartened]

X-Force #1.... dear God I hope you're kidding.

The Rob Liefeld cover to X-Force vol. 1, #1.

 

Yes, I am kidding.

[supapimp]

i really wouldn't care if my cover was pressed.

[blowout]

X-Force #1.... dear God I hope you're kidding.

 

What would yours be Hari? You already have some pretty incredible pieces.

[heartened]

I already replied (above)... Cap 110.

 

There are other things that I really want, like a particular splash page from Dark Knight, etc.... but that particular Steranko cover is probably my favorite cover of all-time.

If we can't agree on anything else. At least we all love comics.

Great choice, Steranko really had a handle on the Hulk. I would think that Hulk Ann #1 would also be a 'grail' piece for many.

cover to xmen #109 byrne

 

Wasn't that a Dave Cockrum cover?

[heartened]

Cockrum, not Byrne. But, still a very memorable cover. Byrne didn't do a cover until #113, I think.
