What hero characters (OA wise) do you collect...if any?

[Hart1000]

This may have already made the rounds by previous posts...but it never hurts to refresh ones memory, eh!

 

Some heroes my original art collection focuses on (in no particular order)...

 

Hawkman

Black Canary

Dr. Fate

Phantom Stranger

Gambit

Adam Warlock (HIM)

Magik

Dr. Strange

The Vision

Stargirl

 

- Hart

[Spider-Variant]

Spidey exclusively. But wouldn't mind a nice Novick Flash page.

[Sharkey]

I collect by artist, but one of my goals is to own pages of art from every major book (with that book's major character) that Jack Kirby drew for Marvel. That's gonna take some time.

 

For Ditko I want to get an ASM and a Doc Strange page. That's also gonna take time (and $$$ )

[Guardian Comics]

Goblin only, so most of the pages include Spidey but I am looking to broaden my horizons to the Surfer, Galactus and Dr. Doom.

 

Jim

[justin]

Marvel Zombies

Silver Samurai

Wolverine

 

and I'm working on Spider-Man and something cool by Ed McGuinness, Leinil Yu and Humberto Ramos. Wouldn't mind a nice Batman or G.I. Joe page either.

[Shemp]

Green Arrow

Jonah Hex

the Question

 

in that order

[Thomas]

Ideally I'd like to focus my collection around Cosmic Odyssey pages and all of those heroes and villains but I rarely see any for sale or its tremendously overpriced.

 

Character wise other than that would have to be Superman.

Keep 'em coming folks...looks like we all are varied in our collecting selections.

 

That's cool imo!

Heroes? Does Jesse Custer count?

 

I don't particularly buy "superhero" art but I somehow ended up with 3 Fantastic Four pages and a cover. So I'll say:

When reflecting on your question, I realize that I've spent months ( and years) looking for just the right piece on several heroes. Not always popular heroes. In fact, usually NOT popular heroes. And, for whatever reason, I'm satisfied when I get a single example of the particular character.

 

I wanted a Battle Girlz cover from Rod Espinosa. Thanks to Rod, the cover I wanted is mine. Wanted one specific Ninja High School cover from Ben Dunn. An older cover that I'd seen at auction...just once. Finally, it resurfaced -- and I got it cheap. Loved one of the covers of I Battle Monsters (by Babiar) and adored a Babiar Warrior Nun cover. Managed to get 'em both -- primarily because Antarctic Press only seems to get love from me and Mike/Mr Not-So-Nice.

 

I loved Gun Fu and wanted a Cheng Bo Sen cover. Again, not a major/popular character but I loved the Joey Mason artwork. Despite a lack of popularity, the cover was pricey, anyway. I don't regret it one bit. One of my favorite covers; absolutely great.

 

I enjoyed the Powerpuff Girls cartoons and started looking for a Mojo Jojo cover or splash. Hugo Brache (Artguy) helped me there. The best MJ splash EVER.

 

Six other people and me loved Giffen's Trencher. I wanted a cover or splash. That one took awhile to find. My wife just gets a funny look on her face everytime she sees it. She also gets a bemused look when she sees the ultra-muscular Prime splash that Breyfogle sold me. Breyfogle did Prime better than anybody.

 

There isn't a lot of adoration for the (nearly forgotten) Charm School -- but I'm a big fan. I'd love the cover for the very first issue. Elizabeth Watasin won't part with it...but she did let me get the artwork to issue 3.

 

Mainstream, I enjoyed Mutant X (didn't get my favorite cover but got a good 'un, anyway) and I really, really wanted a Liefeld Cable cover or splash from his glory years -- yeah, you heard me. I paid good money for an early Liefeld Cable splash...and I did so happily. And I'd happily do it again.

 

My absolutely favorite character is the Angel from X-Men but I've not yet found the right Angel piece despite years of looking. I'd still like a good Spider-Man splash or cover; and a good Wonder Woman splash or cover. I've seen good ones, too, but nothing that my bank account can begin to support.

 

It took two years but I finally found a Lobo cover that I really, really liked. Now, I've just got to finish paying for it.

 

Thanks for asking.

Jean Grey aka Marvel Girl. Also collect Starfire from the 80's by Wolfman.

[MONSTER]

The main characters I collect are:

 

Silver Surfer

Captain Marvel (Marvel comics 70s version)

Jack of Hearts

Hulk

 

There are a ton of other characters I like and collect but right now those 4 are my main focus.

[wktam]

There are quite a few since I am looking for nice examples as well as pieces with sentimental value. That being said there are two series that I am always looking for covers from; namely Power Pack and Strikeforce Morituri.

Wolverine

Conan

Punisher

Thank heaven he's finally coming back. It's been a ridiculously long time without him in the Marvel Universe.
