She needs more rips.

 

 

 

And less costume.

Yeah! What's up with the clothes. Everyone knows that clothing and costumes are for "published" art.

Balen'ts doing Tarot now,, that looks like it has a lot less costume involved (link= not safe for work)

Drew lots of those in pencil and ink, but friends snatched them all, besides, with kids running around my house, I have to be more careful in what I draw

You know, maybe I'm just old, but that's just silly. Pneumatic boobs bigger than my head. Give me a break.

Balent? Silly? Never!

 

Actually, I'm with you, I've never been a fan of his stuff. Some people eat it up though.

Great thread, hard to narrow it down to just one but since Surfer 4 was already mentioned I'd love to have Nick Fury 1 by Steranko

[blowout]

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.

 

Thanks Hari, that would be great.

[spider9698]

Sorry for the delay guys. Great thread!!!

The ASM 11 and 28 covers did sell as a pair about a year ago. I have heard rumors of a few more Ditko covers being held tightly by a few individuals but clearly no public sales have been made.

Hi,

 

I just received the Wrightson Frankenstein Plate I've been eagerly waiting for. This is the depiction of the climax of the book, where Dr. Frankenstein finds his love Elizabeth dead in their bedroom..... on their wedding night, as promised.

 

A stunning example by Wrightson, with amazing detail without fault. Exquisite cross-hatching, and fine details in the background, with a perfect utilization of light and dark. How he was able to do this is a mystery to me. He himself even states today that he can't or won't do this type of work again.

 

Enjoy!

I was just looking at it off of your comicart-l post. Amazing. A very dramatic plate.

 

One question, is the art cleanor is there white opaque evident? With work that precise I'm curious how often he had to clean up after himself.

[shiverbones]

Very Nice plate Hari! The high end plates definately seem to have lurched forward in the last 12 years, while the more standard ones have not changed much. Of course, even $12k is very expensive for a plate.

[DiceX]

Incredible. Congrats!

That's just it, though!! I keep looking at it, and there is NO, absolutely NO white-out. I really can't believe it. When I first got the scan, I thought maybe some of the white dots are made by white out, but NO. The white is all made up of the fine cross-hatching, which spares areas of the board and results in white dots. It really is amazing, and I can only image how much time it took him to make each of thes plates.

 

I really wish I can meet him in person some day just to show it to him and ask him about them.

Yeah, these plates have definitely risen in price, I suppose the "average" ones (if any can be called such) have not risen in value as much. Let's just say, though, that I wish I got this one for anywhere near 12K.....

I was at a workshop panel with Wrightson at the Savannah College of Art & Design in '93, and one of the students asked him if in Frankenstein he used scratchboard to get all the white lines on the blacker area. Berni looked stunned for a minute and was silent, then said "I never really even thought of that!" He could have saved himself immense work and I think he realized that right at that moment!
