Frazetta sketch and V for Vendetta -script, worth? 0

[comicnut]

Hello everyone! 

It's been a very long time since I posted.

I have two questions.  

First is a Frazetta sketch and has COA.  What do you think it is worth?

2nd I have a V for Vendetta -script which was originally published in Warrior Magazine.

Alan Moore typed his stories in usual 80s fashion in triple. With 2nd and 3rd copy going to publisher and artist.  Copy in question is likely 3rd copy and has ink corrections likely by Alan Moore whereby typewriter obviously couldn't correct back two copies.

This part of the story is called The Vanishing and is 8 pages long. Ballpark on this?  1 of 3 in existance, popular comic and movie so would think should be pretty valuable.

Frazetta sketch? 

 

[comicnut]

Yes the first image is Frazetta sketch with COA

The Frazatta is on animation paper, so likely drawn for Fire and Ice, which was a Frazetta collaboration.

There are some pieces from Fire and Ice in the HA results, though many are listed as "attributed" as there were numerous animators who worked on the film.

Interesting. Thanks for your input.  Looking through the HA results I see that this appears to be the back drawing of Princess Teegra then.  One of the sketches that sold there with multiple images of her has an almost identical back view.

"Frank Frazetta pencils; Fire and Ice concept sketches w/COA; undated; image size 9" x 15.25"

Nice page of Frazetta sketches, including one of his typical shapely women. From the Fire and Ice film by Ralph Bakshi that Frazetta designed. Pencil on paper. Art is in excellent condition.

Includes COA signed by Bill Frazetta."

Fire and Ice has value to Frazetta devotees. I’m leaning on ‘attributed’ here. The picture resembled Frazetta but is likely an animated artist under his direction? I don’t want to buzzkill at least you have his family’s COA. I think the low final bid is a tip off that Frank’s ‘contribution’ was more aspirational.

Its one of my favorite animated films.

Nice catch. This isn't mine but being offered to me for the V for Vedetta (by the owner) in a partial trade.  That is awesome now I have an exact value for that, thanks.  

Can anyone estimate what the V for Vendetta -script would be worth?  You never see scripts for that for sale.

IMO: much more than $242

You would have to think if there was confidence that was Frazetta the selling price would have been much higher. Still very cool.

The sketch doesn’t look like Frank Frazetta to me.  As others have said, maybe something under his direction, but not his hand.

[comicnut]

Good idea Grapeape, I will reach out to him.  

Of note this is not the -script for the movie but the comic segment that appeared in Warrior Magazine.

[comicnut]

Wanted to update on this.  Joe from Heritage never got back to me....

However I did end up selling that V for Vendetta -script for straight cash.  Sad to see it go, but got $1500 for it.

[grapeape]

I’m disappointed that you didn’t hear back from Joe. Hope you do something fun with the cash. 👍

I've got a couple of these Moore scripts, and I'm big on them.  You could see them popping up in a museum one day just as easily as comic art due to Moore's standing as one of the more popular writers of the 20th Century.

Yes, one of the reasons I didn't want to sell, and the fact you never see his scripts for sale from the 1980's stuff.  I had a Marvel Man -script as well and sold it first to same guy.  Now I have none.  Want to buy a silver key now to make me feel better
