Grail Art?

118 posts in this topic

Captain America 110 cover (Hulk!) by Steranko. If I could find it, I'd figure out a way to afford it.

 

Under the scenerio of this thread you'd first have to pry it from my dead skeleton. It is the cover that first stood out in my LCS as a kid and epitomized everything a comic book cover should. cloud9.gif

Hrrmmm... 893scratchchin-thumb.gif I have to pick just one?

 

Well then , I would be happy with this.

To me it typifies what I like about Comic art, and Batman.

 

The spacing and perspective are fantastic.

Has the tradmark Adams Full Moon.

Typifies how Batman was just a human, like everybody else.

Creates Bat-tastic tension,and suspense.

And is VERY violent, without being graphic.

 

Aww. WTF.. just gimme any Adams Cover art and I will be happy. cloud9.gif

I'd go with the cover to Batman 227, any Swamp Thing between 1 - 10, Phantom Stranger 13, Witching Hour 14, House Of Secrets 89. Wrightson or Adams basically. And also a Frazetta cover - any of the Famous Funnies run from 209 -216.

 

Please. crazy.gif

Quite a few others exist, but I'm not an expert. I do know that the #11 and the #28 sold a year or so ago as a pair. I'm sure Spider9698 would know more. If he doesn't respond, then I'll ask someone else who I'm sure knows the answer.

Wrightson Frankenstein Plates.....

 

Average ones will run you about 10-12K today, with the better ones in the 15-20K range and the best ones...... 25K+

 

I heard a rumor that the owner of the double-page laboratory splash with the Monster and Dr. was offered 75K for it, but declined. As with all rumors, who knows if it's true, but I would think that it's at least worth 50K.

 

By the way, the reason I know all this is because I'm in the process of buying one.... should have it soon, and will post it when it arrives. They are quite hard to find nowadays. Apparently some director or producer in hollywood owns about 80% of them.

Very tough to answer. Knowing I would not be satisfied owing only one piece of art, grail or not,

just like

I would not be satisfied only having 1 comic.

 

You only get one wife.

Unless you live in Utah, I suppose. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif
