This cover (Tales from the Coffinverse #1 from Coffin Comics) was a little more modern than my typical focus (it came out a year ago) - but I just kept coming back to it when it was for sale during the last CAF Live. I kept it open in a window and checked on it throughout the weekend. It had a really cool Star Wars vibe to it, I loved the poses, the lasers and even the craggy alien background - and of course, the title being Captain Skargrave: Space Pirate proved to be irresistible. I'm not sure how many babe-centric Space Pirate artworks I can even find, but I'll be looking for #2 to *officially* make it a collecting focus. lol

I got a little deal on it, did a quick masthead overlay and in the frame on the wall it went!

I can think of a few. Here's one:

My friend Michael was working Dallas Fan Expo for Bedrock City Comic Co. and he stumbled upon (no not literally) a dealer who had three Katy Keene pages for sale for cheap.
 
Sadly, not as cheaply as I can be sometimes. To my regret, I only bought one, but it's a nice one. It's between today's standard size (11x17) and that of yesterday (15x22) at 13.375x19.5x and therefore quite large which is nice. It has a few notes and no white out as well.
 
Just a nice solid page by Woggon's studio and maybe by Bill himself (he signed the story, but ...).
 
I really like the change in lettering for the tale within the tale.
 
Oh, the other two pages are in the Additional Images section of the CAF link. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=193006

The jungle panels at the bottom are great!

I missed out on a big Deodato piece in this past CLink (A well-known Glory splash page from 1995) - well, "missed out" isn't the right term. My bids got blown away by the end of the auction - so I didn't really "miss out" as much as I wasn't going to bid anywhere near the final price. However, a few weeks earlier, I did snag three neat Deodato covers from 1999 from the Purgatori: Goddess Rising mini-series and just unboxed them today:

Immensely please to add this piece from the recent Unstoppable Doom Patrol #1 by Chris Burnham to the collection. I've been enjoying the series a lot as a DP fan, and thought this one featuring the OG team plus new member Beast Girl was a fun one to get. Especially with it being my first double-page-spread!

Here are my two new additions:

Andy Kubert -Walmart 100 Page Giant # 6 page 1. I really liked this series for the most part. This page was from one of my favorite issues from Tom's 12. It's signed by the creative team(Tom King, Andy Kubert and Sandra Hope). It features Superman on every panel and it's the title page as well. Really happy to get this.

Second one was a recreation of All-Star Superman # 10 page by Greg Woronchak. I have loved this page since I first read it. I know that Chip Kidd owns the entire issue and made his own Artist Edition of it as well. I know that I would never own the original so i went with the next best thing. I have it framed in my classroom at school.

Starting the chain of reveals featuring my HeroesCon 2023 purchases! Here's a piece that I'm particularly pleased to have.
 
Ma Hunkel by Mike Kunkel.
 
Mike is the creator of "Herobear and the Kid." If you haven't read it, you are missing a treat.

Here's something never seen before! :)
----
Part 2 of my HeroesCon Art purchases Poor Alan Davis, each time we have met, I've asked him to draw something other than his norm.
 
Last time, it was for my Artist's Choice sketchbook where they draw what they want and tell me why they drew that.
 
This time? I had him update my Sheldon Mayer sketchbook. In it, the artist does his take on one of Sheldon Mayer's characters, e.g., Scribbly, Sugar and Spike, and pretty much all of DC's catalog.
 
He chose the kids based on my S&S 91 cover art. Enjoy. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1933085

My new art days are pretty few and far between these days.  But once i saw this was up for grabs I knew i had to get it!

One of the 1st pages with Ragged Robin and King Mob from the invisibles.  Plus that second panel might be one of my favorite Robin images in the whole series.

Number 3 of how many? I really should count to give fair warning. :)

---
Bobby Timony recently did the DC League of Super-Pets graphic novel so I did the obvious and had him draw the original Legion of Super-Pets.

Number 4 of <I really should count> acquisitions from HeroesCon 2023 in Charlotte, NC.

---
I have a sketchbook called Artist's Choice and Why. I ask various artists to draw anything they want in it - subject to it being family friendly - AND tell me why they drew what they drew. It's been an interesting experiment.

This year Darryl Banks, the co-creator of Kyle Rayner, a prominent member of the Green Lantern Corps, was at HeroesCon and I presented him with this "opportunity." Like most, he was a little puzzled, but quite game to give it a shot.

I'm glad he was.

The result is one of his inspirations for another well known Green Lantern character - Parallax, a corrupted Hal Jordan. That source of inspiration? Magneto, the X-Men opponent.

Check it out!

Godzilla page #2 in the collection finally acquired. Next on the wish list: Trimpe Shogun Warriors. 

I loved this story and thrilled to have a page from it

https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1928297

1979 Godzilla King of the Monsters Issue 18 Page 30 by Herb Trimpe and Dan Green Comic Art

This must have inspired this episode of the cartoon (about 2mins 30 in)
