It's impressive (at least to me) that you've done all this in such a short amount of time going by the date of the first post.

Thank you! I had some of it before the first post … but I’ve only been collecting OA since 2019 so all done sighing that frame… lots of chasing sacrificing and selling my comics

It's funny, I sold a bunch of my keys to fund my transition into art around 2017 and I was looking at prices on some dealer/auction sites today and just can't believe how much the books have taken off.  I know this isn't really news, but it's just crazy to me.  I've only collected about 20 pages of art in that time and am feeling a bit burned out.  Difficult to explain, but it can really consume you.  So I admire your efforts

So I have been depriving this thread!! I have added another artist and some additional examples of others..

First up is Sean Phillips.. I will admit I was not a fan of his art when the books where coming out.. but once I received the OA I became a big fan! Much prettier in person

And Some Big upgrades or additions!

I'll guess 50k is the floor on this one....  First appearance issue for Gladiator, great shots of X-Men and their two greatest villains (Magneto/Juggernaut), awesome dramatic facial expressions, beautiful inking, bonus sketch on back....
