There are some bigtime Jim Lee/Scott Williams pieces in this auction - I wonder if it's from one collection or several?

A "Death of Captain Marvel's ink pigments" page.

Has anyone seen these or other DOCM pages in person, and if so, can they comment on whether the scans accurately depict the pages or do they crank up the image to make the lines look darker than they actually look in person?

I have seen pages and the scans are pretty accurate.

There are some very nice things at auction this time. What I am about to write about is not one of them. Not awful, mind you, just not really nice. My collective question is whether anyone sees merit to this piece I am missing.

About 7 years ago, this cover by Jae Lee was listed for sale for $1,300 (I think). I didn't buy it then because I was unimpressed with it. I think the composition is unbalanced, the action is virtually non-existent, and the smirking Phantom Stranger looks like he was inhaling what President Clinton claimed he never did. It is also only one of four covers he did on this run (and the worst of them), but, I haven't seen the others for sale (except one other cover around the same time for $200 more which I skipped as well).

Having a completist instinct, I am debating whether I should go for it, and if so, how much. Frankly, I don't think its worth much more, if at all, than it was originally priced. But that is for a different day.

So, if you have something really good to say about it, please do so. If not, by all means comment anyway.

The evaporation effect used on the final cover helps it make a bit more sense and add some drama.

I find it an interesting contrast - the horror displayed by the Phantom Stranger getting evaporated and Constantine not giving a rip.

Jae Lee did a good job with the drawing. If the price wasn’t too lofty I would think you’d  like it in your collection… BUT on the flip side, I find if I have to talk myself into the purchase I probably should save that money for something else.
