G.A.tor Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 so, I logged onto clink to take a look at the Kirby SS 18 page and was kind of surprised to see bidding was at like 50K the day after auction started...just checked and its 60k...page is not that great, is that what Kirby SS 18 pages are going for (I know the FF Kirby heritage page went 84, but it was WAY better content)... Just curious, as I'm guessing Im out at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will_K Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) No comment on the $$$ but does the Inhumans appearance hurt or help the valuation ? For future reference: Edited December 7, 2021 by Will_K aardvark88 and KirbyJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman_fan Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Price is definitely higher than I would have imagined even in this crazy time. I would have thought $40k was a real high estimate. I think the page has some decent action in it and the inhumans definitely help. Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Sid Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) That's a great page. Surfer on board, Surfer angst, Medusa tangling, Karnak chopping, Black Bolt zipping around...Best page in the book? (anyone have the issue handy to check?)

There are at least a half dozen or more way better in this issue , imo cool page for sure, though KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timely Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 How often does a page from this book come around? Probably not often at all. If you want vintage Surfer by Kirby your options are limited so bid accordingly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post glendgold Posted December 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2021 When the book split up, this wasn't the first page to go, nor the last. It's a good page, but there are also three great splashes, quite a few action pages, a wee bit of autobiography and I'm even fond of the page where Jack just spent multiple panels with the Surfer trying to get his board away from Lockjaw. I'm unclear on whether this was the absolute last book Jack drew for marvel in the silver age, or if FF 102 has that honor, but it definitely reflects his anger and frustration with Stan pretty well.

He got more than halfway thru the Janus The Nega-Man story which was eventually published in FF 108. I had always considered it his last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My impression was that he drew the entirety of a stand-alone "Nega-Man" story for FF 102, which Stan -- for various reasons -- held back, and the published FF 102 was actually Jack's FF 103.

The there's #101 with the FF being put into coffins on the cover. Was it subtle commentary by Jack or just coincidence? I'm in the commentary camp, even if it was subconscious. @KirbyJack Did you ever pick up Fantastic Four: The Lost Adventure? If not, what are you waiting for?! https://www.comics.org/issue/394673/ Getting back on-topic, if I could have any page from Silver Surfer #18 it would be the final page, an amazing splash loaded with vitriol.
