Amazing prices, how in the world did I buy a Our Fighting Forces #28 page for only $300? And Heath art to boot. I just don't understand the OA world, perhaps I'll just stick to buying the books.

The Thor page must be from 86 or 87 or 89. 85 is Thor meeting Loki. Wow though. A splash like that would be killer.

 

 

Yeah, definitely wasn't the 85...could've been the 84...was Thor in the corner facing an oncoming army (pictured small) in the desert?

Wow!

 

Are some of these prices way out of whack or is it me? I realize that Kirby and Ditko work has taken off recently, but the Barry Windsor-Smith art seems to be priced at an unrealistic level ($12K for a large head pencil piece - $20K for a penciled panel page from issue #19?).

 

I bought a BWS Conan panel page (issue #9, page 6) from Heritage about eight months ago, and at $5700.00, I thought I had paid maybe a little bit more than I should have.

 

Does anyone know if the Smith art sold? Is this just wishful thinking on the dealers part, or is this stuff really moving at these levels?

 

I can no longer afford OA 'and' my wifes shoe and purse habit - somethin's gotta give!

He owns the Vampi 4 cover? I assume it was there on consignment with some dealer, because if I missed a Danzig appearance I won't be happy.

 

Danzig told me it's been in his personal collection for years. He sidelines as an OA dealer (www.blacklinefever.com) and has been setting up in San Diego just about every year that I've been there (since 2001). He's a big Vampirella fan and has a large collection (or, at least he used to; I'm not sure how much he has sold to me and others) including, I've heard, the Vampirella #1 cover by Frazetta. :o

The $18K piece movie poster prelim was listed as being "on hold", so it may have sold. As of Saturday afternoon the Conan pencil piece was still for sale...

No the 84 would be more like $60K up.

I believe the Thor splash may have been the 97, Heck inks. Conrad E. has that one.... or at least did. Dan

 

Dan that 97 splash page is way ugly and its not even a full page splash image. It must be another Thor splash? surely?

Didn't mean to imply that he had sold it. Don't know if that was his price or not or if sold. But, I do know he took it to SD and probably had it priced around that mark. I bought the JIM 106 splash from Conrad and was offered the 97 as well. But, I don't need any Heck art hanging around so I passed.

 

There is a short list of inkers that I like to look at over Kirby..... Sinnott, Stone, Giacoia (sometimes), Everett, Royer, Berry. When you hang a piece of art and stare at it every day, it becomes less about the history or story or size and more about the image.... at least in my case. DF

How does a guy who's never even had a gold record afford a Frazetta?!

That's odd because I know the guy that bought the Frazetta Vampi #1 cover back in the early 90's at auction and I don't think he's sold it.

I kind of agree with that Dan, thats why I like some of (not all) of the large twice up Marvel Masterwork pin ups. Some of the single large images are just stunning to look at in twice up. Unfortunately, I doubt I will be affording any more of those the way the Kirby market is going lately. I always loved the X-Men 2 splash that you had Dan and the X-Men 5 splash. They had that pin up quality, especially the 5 which I did own for a while (:-(

The X-Men #5 splash! Dan and Clem owned that?!? That is a PHENOMENAL splash...too bad it's definitely no longer for sale/available - and if it was it would be for CRAZY money...

 

I hope you both got a King's Ransom for it!

Wow. I had no idea that he sets up. I really like the Misfits and it would have been cool to stop by his booth. Bummer.
