Some Pretty Blatant Fakery 1 1

[rlextherobot]

I was on the fence with the Mazzuchelli since it almost looks like something sloppy he might have tossed off at a con at some point, but the Watterson sketches are laughable. 

I did note that the seller put the following in the description as an attempt at a CYA: 

"ATTENTION: COMIC FAIR PROVENANCE SKETCH - I'M SELLING THIS ITEM AS "REPRO" OR "TRIBUTE" SINCE I NO HAVE "C.O.A." OR ANY COMPROBATORY DOCUMENTS - AGAIN: TOTAL LACK OF ORIGINALITY COMPROBATORY DOCUMENTS / PAPERS !!!" 

But the listing titles definitely don't have any mention of them "possibly" being fakes.

The "Mignola" pieces might be the worst of the lot.

Bob Kane was dead a solid 13 years before Capullo did his first work for DC on Batman.

Maybe Kirby did them.

yeah, what an odd pairing to fake. and yeah, the whole lot of them are atrocious, who the hell is bidding on this garbage??

I am always surprised when someone tries this. I feel bad for someone who falls for this kind of fakes. Most of these are very suspicious.
