HERITAGE HALLS OF FAME

[action1kid]

There are Action covers that exsist below# 50 Krazy! Maybe you can get that?

That #50 cover went for 50k or so that you are referring to.

[action1kid]

By the way, i just picked up the cover art to Action #453 at the big apple comicon today.It just caught my eye because it has the vintage [1938] Action cover logo on it even though this piece is from 1975. By Bob Oksner. Hey, I count leave the show empty handed?

Didnt go to the con although I debated going. Any good OA ? Bechera usually has something ?

Yes Bechara was there.Same stuff i always see. Im pretty sure he has the cover Art for Archie #1[Golden age] Though he wouldnt talk about it for his own reasons.

He had his usual little booth corner next to Harley this time.

I bought my piece from Saul Zimmerman who i am sure you know.He has a nice little selection i must say.The only art guys i saw were saul and Bechara.I did not see Conrad at this show.

Having it end up in the news in connection with that scandal would stop ME from talking about it for a little while I'd think- even if it was just out of frustration with personal business being trotted into the public eye.

I would suggest you go to the big NYC show at the Javits in Feb..Everyone is making a very very big deal of this show and you will propbably be in original art heaven come than.

[action1kid]

Your correct Rob. I had forgotten about that .

Is there any OA from Action #1 left?

[action1kid]

I have never seen any [in person anyway]

[action1kid]

I have seen panel art from the 1st page but not in person.

[B-Smooth]

so it exists? damn...thats gotta be some expensive paper!

[action1kid]

A picture of it is some where on the archieves of this board.Perhaps one of our friends here can find it and post it.

that first panel, is it the FIRST panel with Superman on it (besides the cover)? I agree with KK on this one. That panel alone would sell for a lot more than $200,000.

[action1kid]

Agreed!

It would with no question in my mind go for over that figure.

[B-Smooth]

Id say half a million

here is another scan

i love how totally different that costume is from what we normally think of Superman wearing...it's really killer, the differences. like, this is how S&S envisioned him originally

I have the Sotheby's Auction Catalog from that Auction - the Auction was incredible - but this piece did not sell, I was told who bought it from Sotheby's afterwards, but I forget who at this point - it was definitely a name I have heard before - it might have even been Geppi. I also understand that Siegel was having doubts about Shuster doing the art since the concept wasn't selling and so Siegel shopped the idea, behind Shuster's back, with another cartoonist(the person who told me couldn't remember the artists' name but it was a popular cartoonist of the day) and apparently that artists' concept drawings still exist - this was done around 1936 - but again, the person who told me hadn't seen it but knew someone who had - and apparently the concept was similar("S" on the chest, etc.) but not the same -- just adds more to the lore I guess...
