I was tempted to go for that Spider-Gwen head shot by Paolo during the auction. Glad I held back in the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donno if anyone else saw that seller is giving 5% of the sale back to Tradd. I only collect surfer. But 20k? For a recent page I thought was crazy. Then again I don’t have any trad surfer so maybe I’m clueless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tradd talking head pages from other books easily sell for $2k nowadays. SSB is his most desired work.

He likes the overwrought facial expressions a bit too much sometimes but I like Grindberg. He does Frazetta influenced work as well as, what, I guess Neal Adams comic-influenced stuff. Good cosmic artist. Edited May 28, 2022 by Bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xatari Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Tradd definitely has a very solid following. One of the more innovative of this era. He also holds on to a lot of his art, so supply is very limited. All these factors have created a pretty big market for his stuff. Silver Surfer Black tend to be the most desirable, but I’ve been watching his Ghost Rider pages steadily creep up as well. Luther Strode is also continuing to increase.

He certainly has a lot of hardcore fans. I got a SSB page earlier this year, and the artwork is especially beautiful up close. I had noticed the other prices rising, too.

Latverian Tourism Board Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I got one page this year. The John Buscema Mephisto vs page from Anthony. I had to pay a bit over value, but it was an excellent Mephisto/Thor/Hela page, and one of two big nostalgia pages from my youth that I wanted from that series. I was trying to keep my powder dry for some upcoming cons, but you all know that song and dance. ”Yeah, I’m kind of tapped for now and waiting for…you have what?…Here’s my wallet, just take what you need.” Bird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But everything before that is pretty much out there. The issue is that very few people are letting things go. Especially not SSB. The numbers are tempting, of course, but it's one of those things that if you sell, you're unlikely to ever get another example. So most are still hanging on for now.

New School Fool Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 It was actually Tradd's work that kick-started my comic art collection. Once I knew comic art was available to purchase, it was his work I wanted. My biggest regret is holding off on buying a few of his pages because something better was bound to come along. When that moment arrived Tradd decided not to sell 😭 It's agonising and amazing seeing his art disappear and prices shoot up in real time! 🥲 John E. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
