Help required: Richard Sala's NIGHT DRIVE 0

[The Voord]

Hi

A friend of mine, who works for Fantagraphics, is trying to track down pages of OA from Richard Sala's first self-published comic, NIGHT DRIVE for a proposed project.

A CAF search is an obvious one, but not everyone post their art on CAF!

If anyone here has any pages in their collections, please DM me with details, thanks.

Don't forget the FB groups related to Comic Art:

• Facebook has a large number of groups that address comic art both published and commissioned. You can always ask on those groups for opinions. However, prepare for odd/funny answers, unsolicited offers, and the usual social media snark.
  • Advice Groups
    • Comic Art Buyer Beware
    • Comic Art Trends Advisors
    • Original Comic Art Collectors Bad Buyers Sellers Traders Group
    • Sketch Prices - Comic Book Sketches, Commissions & Autograph Prices
    • Sketch and commission: price, artist credit, & review
  • Selling Groups
    • Comic original art sale, trade, show
    • Deal or No Deal – Original Comic Art DOND
    • Original Comic Book art and Commissions for sale
    • Original Comic Book art for sale
  • Discussion Groups (Some allow selling, some do not. Some allow "what is it worth" posts, some do not. Read the rules)
    • Commissioned (An Original Art Collectors Group)
    • Original Comic Art 
    • Original Comic Art Collectors
    • Original comic book art

Thanks, Alex, though you're missing from your list:

Comic Art Collective - Original comic art from top artists

I'm sure that there are others that I've missed. Are you recommending this FB Page. It seems to be unmoderated and I noticed several spam posts.

 

By the way the list I maintain is kept here: Pricing Comic Art. See the hidden text in the first post on that thread.

Sorry, Alex, you've lost me . . . what FB page is it you think I might be recommending?  I've made no mention of any FB page??

The link I provided was for the Comic Art Collective, which has nothing to do with FB.  It's a site for 'alternative artists' to sell their art directly to potentially-interested collectors.  It's where I bought most of my own Richard Sala originals . . . directly from the artist, when he was still with us.

Thanks to those members here who mailed me privately with offers of assistance . . . resulting in a few more pieces of the jigsaw now added.

My friend from Fantagraphics has now provided me with the following update:

"What we're looking for now are two pages: one called QUALMS IN THE NIGHT, and another called HYPNOTIC EYES. And any other unpublished pages that might be out there."  *

 

*  Both pages are definitely out there, as Richard sold them, while he was alive, through The Comic Art Collective web-site (not a FB group).  The web-site scans are too small for realistic use.  Here they are:

Your post was just after my list of FB groups so I thought you were referring to one. This one: https://www.facebook.com/comicartcollective.

I have no clue why I didn't click your link. 

Thanks for the lead. Sorry for the confusion.

 

I should mention that the Comic Art Collective is covered by my referencing Nico Vallee's (@NicoV)  wonderful Comic Art Tracker website which searches the Comic Art Collective and pretty much everything else.
