It’s Colleen Wing. i'll say this a 2nd time since it seems a few here are not understanding posts. I was relaying Jim Damico's message previously (not mine) .... and it was stated in the most elementary of ways for all to comprehend. if anyone has issues with Jim Damico and what he does with his artwork, i'm pretty sure he will talk to anyone privately about it, He has a CAF gallery or email me for his private email..... Just my 2 cents and thanks for the X-men info mr or mrs cloddie... you just got a credit on my website if you click the link (since most keep their identities secret here i have no idea who anyone truly is) your info was very much appreciated.............and it's SOLD! thanks.... and stay safe out there folks!

Marwai Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Just because something is marked as sold, it does not necessarily mean it actually sold for money or sold at all. Traded, consignment pulled back to the owner, put back into collection for sale later, placed into auction, etc. are all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malvin Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I don't participate in this thread much since I think what someone does with their art is their business. I also buy and sell all the time as many of you know (I do auction most of it though). I tell my wife doing that helps me self fund the hobby, although I am sure she is aware that my buying and selling isn't going to make up for the 5 figures I spent on HA and Clink the last couple of weeks Anyways, I bought a Punisher turnaround by an unknown artist on ebay for 10 bucks a few years ago. I bought other things from the seller so my cost really was only $10. It was solidly done so I thought it was a pro and not an amateur drawing but I couldn't figure it out. I even showed Bob McLeod when he was at a local con in the hopes he could ID the penciller. All he could conclude was that the penciller was likely a Pro and not an amateur (but not a good one he said). I gave up trying to identify it and sold it during comicart live for $17. Now it's available as a Steve Dillon Punisher piece for $1,500 CAF Link Malvin John E., jaykza and dirtymartini1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember it being attributed to Dillon. Maybe it’s not the same one.” No way that’s Steve Dillon. I don’t buy that it’s his line work without provenance or an editor confirming it. That’s the thing, with Steve gone you can’t get a confirmation, which can also be exploited. romitaman and grapeape 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
