Post Your Top 3 Personal Comic Book/Original Art Acquisitions of 2014!

315 posts in this topic

I picked-up some original Star Wars daily strips, but won't post any until I make sure I get all of the ones I'm after. Had too many deals go sideways on me this year to chance it.

 

None of it has been framed or mounted on the wall, but I did manage to produce a cover recreation this year that I've been wanting to do for some time. This is up on the wall already :)

2. The OA for the Black Dragon from Dnd 3rd Edition (I also got him to re-create it as a painting based off of the pencils)

3. Total pop art of King Mob from the Invisibles. IMO one of the best KM pages in Vol 2

An early Schomburg. It's always amazing how quickly he went from this style which looks more like a pulp cover to his later work which is very different (courtesy of Heritage):

Thought I'd better get a Daredevil #1 before it gets too expensive (courtesy of KPR Comics):

One of the cheaper comics I got this year, but it is one of my favorite Steranko's and one I'd been looking for quite a while (Courtesy of DavidTheDavid):

Honorable mention goes to my daughters who got a My Walking Dead Pony sketch blank whilst at N.I.C.E. We had quite a few laughs at this one whilst it was being done. It's not mine, belongs to the rugrats :sorry:

Top 3, that's a tough one.

 

Well, I started the year with this, Charles Paul Wilson III does some amazing art on such an amazing series:

Then, I topped the year off by adding these two great cover pieces. Sacrifices had to be made, but well worth it to add a Simone Bianchi and John Cassaday to the gallery.
