Art Update (WATCHMEN / HARD-BOILED / and more!)

[Nexus]

I didn't have the big SD con like other collectors here (although I did get some nice GOON pages that I'll be posting shortly), but I did get lucky before the con. I've finally updated my gallery. Here are the new pieces:

Big props to Bill Cox for CAF…I’m having way more fun with this hobby than others I’ve been involved in and I think a big reason is his site. Thanks for looking!

Nice stuff Felix!

Cool!

Felix, I wouldn't call leaving with a CONCRETE watercolor not having a 'big SD con' . They are all great pieces, but that one stands out. Congrats

(still waiting to add a Concrete pic to his collection)

Not a big con. Feh.

 

I'm partial to the Darrow Hard Boiled piece myself.

Sorry for any misunderstanding...I didn't get any of this art at the con. I got it all before the con. That's a big reason why I didn't seek out anything "big" at the con...I was tapped out! I did manage to get some GOON pieces, though (which I will post shortly).

 

But thanks for checking it out!

that Concrete piece is killer. i like how you can see your reflection in it, too...it adds an otherworldlyness to it

Especially love the Concrete painting and the Watchmen piece - great additions!

last panel of your watchmen page is history great stuff

Thanks fellas! The WATCHMEN page was a true grail for me. Really stoked to get it.

 

SWAMP THING, MIRACLEMAN, WATCHMEN, KILLING JOKE, V FOR VENDETTA (still my favorite of them all)...Moore was 5 for 5. I can't think of a creator since who has matched that record. He's been somewhat hit-and-miss since then for me, but his legacy will always be his 80's work.

Guys, there was a chap selling a piece of Watchmen art at the last London mart - not sure of the issue or page I'm afraid - but it was a nine panel piece with Roschach just before he killed the dog - and had a couple of full figure panels.

 

It was in mint condition and framed.

 

He wanted "at least £1,000"...

 

good price, what do you reckon?

[Solar]

I would have bought it for that price. Quickly.

[jjeanius]

ditto.

[GotSuperPowers?]

I think £1,000 was the original selling price for the pages back in the day...from what I've been told anyway.

It's a real nice page. Not quite as nice as the ones Hari Naidu and Ken Danker got last year, but still a very solid page.

It's a real nice page. Not quite as nice as the ones Hari Naidu and Ken Danker got last year, but still a very solid page.

 

Agreed... and at least two other pages sold for more on Ebay in the last few weeks & months, including this one. How do we get in touch with this London Mart chap?!

[Hart1000]

Felix, I dig the Concrete painting! Actually...great stuff all around!

[Nexus]

Thanks Hart!

 

BTW, for reference, the page is #20 in issue #6. Taken on its own, I would say that it doesn't have anything to do with the story as a whole, and isn't particularly character-defining, either. But it IS a Rorschach page. Given how he's the most popular character (like what Wolverine is to the X-Men), that alone makes it a very desireable page.

[EwanUK]

Well, I wished I'd snapped it up immediately now

Have just spoken to a lady on the number he gave me and have asked for him to call back later.

 

Apparently of the 3 pages I knew he had one has already sold... hope it isn't the one we're taking about.

The other page I did see was one of the 'wash' pieces of the back-story of Hollis and the guy also mentioned he had an ensemble piece of all the Watchmen done as illo for a fanzine or something... I understand there's more as well.

 

At the mart, he had a very early Dave Sim Cerebus page too that he wanted £250 for. Guess I should've bought that too...

 

anyway, will let you all know and certainly pass on his details if he's happy for me to.

Having spent years focused on nothing but Cerebus art (before recently expanding my desires a bit), I'd say that that amount for a "very early" Cerebus page may or may not have been a good price. A lot of earlier Cerebus pages, perhaps because they are a bit more crude than the mid-series pages, can be had for somewhat less than $500.
