which in your collection do you have more. marvel or dc art. ?

[Gal Schwartz]

the other is a Batman splash by Cockrum.

 

VERY curious about this one !! Any available link or details about that Cockrum Batman page ?

[Mephisto]

Mostly Marvel, outside of the Batman villains, and DC bronze horror I'm not really into DC characters. I also have a few Dark Horse pieces due to the Lucas Films like Indiana Jones and Star Wars they have put out in the past 20 years.

[hypno-migration]

I have close to triple the amount of DC art to Marvel...In fact I have more art from independent publishers than I do Marvel.

[Gal Schwartz]

Much more DC art in my collection (more of a DC fan myself).

 

Seems to me that my Marvel covers usually garner more attention

(and comments) than the equally good DC ones...

 

It doesn't affect my collecting habits though...

 

Funny thing is - I usually like to collect the rare occasion

pieces, where artists who are staples in one company "switch"

to the other side.

 

Prime examples from my collection would be:

Howard Porter & John Dell's X-MEN cover from 1998,

which they did during the peak of their JLA popularity

(their only proper X-MEN cover from that time).

 

Other examples are my Dave Cockrum DC pages...

I think some of them are just as good (if not MUCH better)

than the work he did for Marvel in that period.

I know there was a Batman #246 cover re-do penciled by Cockrum and inked by Adams in Batman Collection: Neal Adams.

 

He also penciled The Brave and the Bold #167 story that featured Batman.

 

 

There may be some others but those leap to mind.

DAYUM Rob, ones of these days you're gonna have to get out the portfolios and show me!

 

As to the OP, after looking and with a few new additions this week, Dark Horse actually tops the list. Including commissions/unpublished stuff though, DC is way ahead.

[Brian Peck]

I have about 6x as much Marvel art as DC art, along with some Warren, AC, Eternity, Fantagraphics, and Innovation.

[robert frey]

95+% of my collection is marvel with only a handful of pieces being DC characters.

[Terry Doyle]

I've had more EC art pass through my hands during my time as an artwork collector (several hundred pages worth of complete stories and about twenty covers.

 

As a kid, I (mostly) collected Marvel comic-books during the 1960s.

 

By the time the 1970s came around, I had become bored with Marvel (for me, with the the loss of Ditko and Kirby, the 'magic' had gone) and I switched over to DC, I particularly liked Kirby's DEMON and KAMANDI books, which were a refreshing change from all the repetetive superhero stuff.

 

Marvel and DC don't figure that highly in my artwork collecting habits anymore.

 

I have a selection of Marvel and DC cover examples that serve as a reminder to what I once enjoyed about the two big companies.

[J.Sid]

DC (Vertigo), definitely. Just picked up my 100th PREACHER page

 

You only have 100 Preacher pages?

that quote is from 2005. I've tripled the number since then and DC/Vertigo is still tops in my collection (thumbs u

[KirbyJack]

Seven Marvel and just one DC; a great Batman page that I won in a contest.

[groovyedwin]

Equal amount:

Marvel = 0%

DC = 0%

Other = 100%

[CollectingFool]

Much to my surprise I have a hell of a lot more DC art than Marvel art. I'd say it's about 45% DC, 45% other and 10% or less Marvel.

 

 

[batman_fan]

I actually think I have more Marvel than DC, but if I could find/afford some of the DC stuff I love, I'm sure I could have that ratio flip.

[J.Sid]

I have 4 Marvel pages for every 1 DC.... but 3 out of my 4 most expensive are DC pages

Are we talking silver age covers?

 

Sure, some, including this baby:

 

 

Most of the covers I possess are from the 1940s, 50s and 60s.

 

There is a link to my CAF stuff at the bottom of my posts.
