ComicConnect Navigation

If I wanted to find all the art in this auction that was by (let's say) Jack Kirby, how on earth do I do that? 

[RICKYBOBBY]

From my understanding... you can't. The search seems to be optimized for comic books only. You can't search by artist.

That's super convenient.

Thank you.  This must be a relief to consignors.

They probably can't tell if their pieces are included.

Wait -- there isn't a "search by consignor" button?

I didn't know that was a thing.

When I start my auction house, that's the ONLY way you'll be able to search.

Nice, makes you wonder why that's not one of the choices on the main page.

because hey haven't hired somebody to make a usable site! ?

Terrible site design for original art.  It why I never take them seriously when I'm looking to buy because it is so totally off-putting to navigate.

I did manage to wade though the Berk collection there recently.  A testament to how impressive that collection was, that I was able to make it all the way to the end without giving up like I normally do.  

I would never consign to this site, personally.

The sad thing is it seems they are SO close to getting it right.  It's not as if the site needs a complete overhaul - it just needs an infusion of common sense search functions and layout corrects.  But, nope.

They have that nice early Avengers page with Baron Zemo. I'm surprised they didn't list the page with the info of it being his first appearance. Unless you count #4 of the Avengers with this page being his first "full" appearance like the whole Wolverine thing with #180-#181.

Hard to believe that a company like that, one of the leaders in the hobby, doesn't want to kick in a few bucks and have their website join the 21st century.  You're right- it is frustrating to navigate and frankly, it is embarrassing.

I had no luck searching via artist name. Funny that a lot of you here share the same sentiment I have about ComicConnect--not a place to go to for OA, frustrating to navigate. I thought it was just me being a noob afraid to get out of his comfort zone. I tried looking for stuff the other week and I couldn't find anything that wasn't in Jon Berk's collection.
