There is always a bunch of this stuff on ebay at very affordable rates. While I appreciate the art - I have never read this series. This looks like a nice example.

Thank you! I had an option to choose a different Frenz Thor page in that deal. The other was possibly more valuable (half splash), but in it Thor was tiny, and I just love The Recorder!

Rune Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) No one cares about my cool and awesome Garfield strip http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1363400 It was more expensive than many of my other pieces, and it's an old strip, drawn just 2 years after Davis published his first Garfield strip in 1978. Then again Garfield isn't a superhero Edited May 14, 2017 by Rune Kohei 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see from the pic below, I'm lousy with a camera. There are maybe seventeen fans of Keith Giffen's Trencher, but I'm one of them. The series died before a half-dozen issues were published but I miss it. As far as I'm concerned, it's underappreciated art. I can appreciate that! Love Giffen's work!

Brian Peck Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Enric Romero's work on AXA is another one who I feel has been over looked. Many in the states don't know of AXA, he would be more known for Modesty Blaise. AXA was a combination of Red Sonja and Logan's run, Enric did some fantastic pencil and inks on the series. He is still drawing today his art is still fantastic. Here are two strip when Mark Ten AXA's companion and protector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many in the states don't know of AXA, he would be more known for Modesty Blaise. Great exemples of Romero artwork, Brian. I Sweden we are lucky to have had most of the Axa comic published over the years. It was so popular that my friend Peter "Pidde" Andersson got to pen the -script for one episode, "Freakshow", which ran in Magnum Comics #2/1994... But as for my own under-appreciated art I choose this (which I suspect you might like, too): A two-page spread by Eduardo Barreto from Robin Annual #6 I wonder if it was Barreto himself or writer Chuck Dixon who decided to make Stan Lynde acting U.S. Marshal...?

alxjhnsn Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) I started at the bottom of my CAF and picked the lowest viewed piece that I'm really attached to. It turned out to be the last three pages of Huck, a Millarverse title. Huck is Millar's response to Superman's changes over the years especially in film. It's a terrific tale with an interesting twist. I hope to see more Huck in the future. In this scene, Huck's privacy has been compromised by a newcomer to town and the press has discovered him. I love these pages - the excitement of the reporters to get the scoop contrasts with the dog slowly waking Huck. His expression in the last page as he looks onto his lawn is priceless. Read the book if you haven't. Click the image to embiggen and learn more. The pages aren't totally ignored, but with 300 views and two comments, it's hardly a barn burner in the popularity department. The book must have sold fairly well since they reprinted the first issue as "Giant-Sized Artist’s Proof Edition: Huck #1." Yes, I bought that, too. I have a couple of other pieces that almost made the cut - the first published image from Busiek/Dewey of the Autumnlands: Tooth and Nail and the first published image from Lemire/Lenox's Plutona. There's an interesting video by Ben Dewey (Autumnlands) with Emi Lenox (Plutona) in the Plutona page description. In that you can see this piece. Kinda cool, I think.

rikemice Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Anyone who knows me knows I'm a huge fan of Chris Bachalo's. His work on Death and X-Men and Generation X is just amazing. But I think my favorite piece of his from my small collection is this super-creepy splash page from Shade the Changing Man. My wife won't let me hang it for some reason.

Brian48 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I don't have a lot of original pages to begin with, but I guess if I had to pick one, it'd be this Scott Hanna piece. Bats, Catwoman (in her gaudiest outfit ever) and Joker. Picked it up real cheap. I think I put a $50 tracker bid on it and was surprised I actually won it the next day.

Bronty Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) I am a big fan of The Adventurers as one of the best 1980s indies, and of Kent Burles' art in the series. Just a wonderful combination of art & story Edited May 18, 2017 by Bronty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
