When he had nothing to say in the dead time between bids and just mumbled "original art", I just about lost it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly liked how he described the title of one lot...."Saga of the Swamp" It was a Saga of the Swamp Thing cover, but hey....that's pretty close.

stinkininkin Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Not a very impressive result on the Neal Adams Detective cover at 54k imo. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman_fan Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Missed the Man-Thing Cover 17 cover. I was out once it crossed $10k. I thought a lot of the OA went pretty high, especial once it hit the live auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhamlau Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Threw down on the new mutants cover but ended up runner up. Something about paying almost 10k for a mid run new mutants 80s cover seems off...but in hind sight maybe I should have bid once nore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I see things going down is if I decide to sell something zhamlau and suspense39 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that analysis goes out the window when you add in BWS drawing the whole team with such a stylish layout and design overall. I was stunned it went so low. I wasn't ready for it when it came up. That's doubly true when unpublished, partially finished, Tomb of Dracula BWS covers are $18k and very nice but very niche, mid-run, Solar covers are almost $12k. I am sick I didn't throw a bid or two on it. Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhamlau Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Honesty I thought that the layout was complete garbage . It’s what kept me at bay. Edited November 17, 2017 by zhamlau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delekkerste Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I see that the Kirby/Sinnott or maybe just Sinnott Marvel's Greatest Comics #70 cover only fetched $19.1K, well below the earlier guesses here IIRC. I look forward to it being marketed as a full Kirby/Sinnott pairing with a $50K price tag soon. Coming soon to a Cabal seller near you... suspense39 and batman_fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess different strokes.....I looked at the blown up scan and saw exactly what Barry was trying to do and it was so much more than those issues of NM deserved.

BWS has done some amazing stuff. In the realm of NM, I felt his stuff was some of the weakest of all artists on the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
