Phil Hale is ridiculous.

[mister_not_so_nice]

I have to say Phil Hale is definitely my FAVORITE artist right now and has been for some time. Now if I could just find/afford a painting of his.

 

I saw the Original cover for FLINCH #11 at SD05 but didn't get a price on it(anyone else see it/get a price)

That was in Spectrum a couple of years ago.

Thanks awe4one for the pointer to this book. For $20 I got an actual copy of a book I once had a $5 scan bounty on.

That's a real nice Art Thibert DF signed Ultimate you have there Silvers24

 

DF is awesome. They are a trusted name in the industry and get some of the biggest names to do signings for them. Check out this DF certified book I recently won in an ebay auction (given by a partner site of DF). I posted this in another thread elsewhere on the CGC boards but I'm so proud of this book that I just have to show it off again. You can bet that this one set me back a few dollars.

 

Action Comics #1 reprint signed by Superman creator Jerry Siegel!

 

It was autographed in early 1993 at one of only a few formal signings done for Dynamic Forces. Serial Numbered and certified authentic by Dynamic Forces "The worlds leading supplier of signed comics" (COA included of course). Just to make extra sure I actually called long distance to the Dynamic Forces Inc. offices and spoke directly with the current DF President Nick Barrucci. He verified it and also said that Jerry Siegel signed limited numbers of a few other Superman issues during the early 90s. It has also been graded and slabbed by CGC so it will stay in the excellent condition that it's in. Most were sold off years ago but every once in a while you can still find some DF authenticated Jerry Siegel autographed books. They're never cheap though and I expect the prices to rise even higher in the coming months when the new Superman movie hype machine kicks into full gear.

 

Of course the book was slabbed years after the signing because CGC didn't even exist in 93 and Jerry Siegel died in January of 1996, so a Signature Series is forever out of the question. Currently, DF does have a partnership with CGC and they often offer books in a CGC Signature Series (if desired). When it comes to a Jerry Siegel autograph you usually just have to just hope that it's real (unless you were lucky enough to meet the legend himself). You almost never get any real authentication from a name as trusted as DF.

 

It just arrived yesterday and is being kept in a very safe and special place

Having a reprint of Action #1 signed by THE MAN is something I thought I'd never have. Don't get me wrong, Joe Shuster greatly deserves the co-credit that he gets as being the first artist for Superman because he did provide some important input into the costume and other aspects, but we must never forget that the idea was formed from the mind of Jerry Siegel, and that's the reason why he gets the honor of being credited first in all Superman media along with his pal Joe.

 

This is now my most prized comic, though the Action Comics #29 I have is really close. I have others that are worth more $ but this one is by far my favorite.

I'll never get rid of this one. This one's definitely a keeper!

 

Check it out.Unfortunately this is the best pic I have of it because my scanner's busted. 2006 is gonna be one heck of a year for Superman fans like myself with the new movie also on the way.
