2023 December 7 The Joker Collection of Robert Ben Garant Comics & Comic Art Showcase Auction 0

[jjonahjameson11]

Not sure how many folks were interested in/followed this auction given its specific focus, but it did have a few interesting lots of OA and I was wondering about people's thoughts on the OA and prices?

Wrightson Batman The Cult page went for $10.2K.  I felt that was a strong price for a page from this title

Bolland Killing Joke Prelim p28 = $5.4K.  I think this went cheap given what a published Killing Joke page would sell for these days.

Bolland Killing Joke p33 prelim = $5K.  I like this one more than p28.  Again, given what a published Killing Joke page goes for, this seemed cheap.

Templeton Batman and Robin Adventures Annual #1 cover = $4.6K.  Definitely the most I've ever seen a Templeton cover sell for, and I've owned over a dozen of them back when I was collecting the 'cartoony' Batman stuff.

Bob Kane Joker sketch = $3.1K.  This is a tiny sketch (3x3.5 inches) with a big price tag!

Good picks for auction results.  I don't really follow the BA titles but it would seem Phantasm appearances are generally rare.

That Bob Kane signature looks more fake than the other specimens that often show up.

Missed it. Obvious auction fatigue. Love that Bolland page.

Lol. Both nice. So is that great templeton cover. Slabbed this guy sometime back and am always impressed when I look at the published cover.

Makes me feel even better what I paid for my recent Bob Kane acquisition.

I did notice that auction, can't remember how (might have been that comicarttips mailing list) but was watching the Cult page. Great finish but it's also a great page
