JadeGiant Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 A thought from another thread ... What are the biggest hole(s) in your collection? An artist that is missing? A page from an issue? From an arc? Here's the key ... what examples would you like to have in your collection that you don't currently have? Off the top of my head (and subject to editing later) Arthur Adams Tim Sale Hulk grey page Jack Kirby Hulk Twice up silver age page with the Hulk Bronze era Hulk cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstoppablejayd Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 This is a great topic! My collection is fairly new so lots of holes...but Paul Smith X-men Page (175 preferred) Ron Wilson Thing 5 page (this was my first comic) John Byrne X-men page (never going to happen) Tim Sale.. anything not superman but super herp That is off top of my head... so many more i can list but that would be my tops...

NicoV Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 So many holes, looks like a strainer Wrightson's Frankenstein plate, Jeff Jones IDYL page, Jim Starlin's Death of Captain Marvel page, Watchmen page... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Paper Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 No question. Michael Kaluta. I've had at multiple pieces by the other three Studio artists for decades. Still don't have the perfect Kaluta. delekkerste, JadeGiant and alxjhnsn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud cloddie Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Filled a lot this year, but an Art Adams New Mutants page and a Paul Smith brood page are still towards the top of my missing wants. Twanj and JadeGiant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alxjhnsn Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) I keep a list because I'm forgetful. Well, two lists - stretch goals that seem unlikely and goals that might be possible. Alex Comic Art Want List (Stretch Goals) Swan/Klein Superman or LSH page Shuster Superman Kirby Thor or New Gods page Marshall Rogers Detective (Batman) page from his wonderful run with Steve Englehart and Terry Austin Sprang Batman Everett Sub-Mariner page Mayer Scribbly page (if there are any; I saw one once, but couldn't buy it. ) On the possible horizon are: Swanderson Superman page Aparo B&B page (art and letters by Jim) Steve Ditko Creeper Special cases: The splash to JLA 29 (1st series) or the cover, but I'd prefer the splash. Cover to The Official Legion of Super-Heroes Index #1. The cover to #2 would work, but it's in David Mandel's collection and I doubt that I could pry it loose. I can't afford any of these, but ... Comic Strips Skippy strip by Percy Crosby [Never seen one for sale. ] Peanuts by Charles Schulz [Just takes money. ] Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson [Fakes available, but unless I rob the Billy Ireland, won't happen. ] Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson [There are a few in the wild.] There are a number of other pages and strips of interest, but they are less hard to get.
