THE MIGHTY THOR 3 PAGE 22 BY OLIVIER COIPEL!

Take a peek above…

Jon J. Muth Moonshadow Watercolor Page – Gorgeous!!!

Some part of me still thinks off painted art as "new." I have co-workers younger than this painted art…

CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS #1 Golden Age Comic Book GD 2.0

For real? A raw Captain America #1? Fun times.

Avengers 12.1 cover art Hitch Spider-man Wolverine Thor

Hitch is bad-ass. You know this.

KENT WILLIAMS original PUNISHER painting art

I don't think I've ever seen this image.

1974 JIM STARLIN CAPTAIN MARVEL #30 PG. 23 COMIC ART

You know I love Starlin's Marvel cosmic comics. I'll always share.

Ashley Wood – Popbot Original Painting

Ash Wood is so much fun. His art is great.

Ed McGuinness! Iron Man! She-Hulk! Hulk! Shield! Wow!

Dynamic! It's not even an action page but Ed McGuiness just does dynamic in his sleep.

All Select #11 Blonde Phantom Cover High Grade- Timely

Always a favorite book.

Avengers #93 CGC 9.4 Neal Adams Marvel Captain America

Another favorite and I don't feature enough bronze age books here. Rectified.

The Original Arabic Superman Collection 1964-1975

Can someone explain this to me? What are these? Why are they worth so much money? Is this all a dream?

Silver Surfer 48 pg 22 Thanos Galactus splash Ron Lim

You knew this was coming, didn't you?

AWESOME MCFARLANE SPIDERMAN ORIGINAL ART PAGE!

Here's one to balance out the power cosmic splash page above. I have no interest in this myself, but I know other people would dig it, so here it is…

SANDMAN #5 Page 6 Original Art SAM KIETH & NEIL GAIMAN

This is a really great page. I think it would be an excellent standalone page to hang up in your house. It's somehow complete. Very cool.

Chris Ware – original "Jimmy Corrigan" artwork – 1999

I'm not exactly a "fan" of Ware, but I really appreciate what he does so I thought I should share this one.

ORIGINAL COMIC PAGE STEVE DITKO HULK #6 PAGE 3 1963

HULK SMASH.

He didn't really talk that way at this point. He just more of a jerk, than a dumb, SMASHING brute. Cool page, yo.

ACTION COMICS #24 ~ Vintage Superman Comic ~ CGC 8.0

Early Action Comics on eBay. You know I'm going to link to that.

Iron Man 55 CGC 9.8 NM/M White pg 1st Thanos Starlin

I should get a nice 9.4 of this book. I've got no interest in playing the 9.8 game here, but a nice 9.4 would do me nicely. (Runs to GPA) $400? Heck yeah. That's a plan.

HULK Issue 396 page #13 by DALE KEOWN

Two hulk pages on on Friday. I'm game. Especially since they're at the far end of the spectrum in terms of style. I loved Keown's run on this book. It was a blast each and every month.

WOLVERINE/WITCHBLADE #1 Pg.15 M. TURNER ORIGINAL ART!!!

I link to Mike Turner's art. 'nuff said.

RON LIM Original Art Drawing SILVER SURFER VS THANOS

I'm a fan of the artist and the characters so there it is. You now know why I featured it first

BLACK ORCHID #1 P 32 ORIGINAL ART BY DAVE MCKEAN NO RES

Early McKean. That was a hot book for a few months a long time ago. Just thought you should know…

Batman #1 Spring 1940 Attractive CGC 2.0 Recent Find

Feast your eyes on an unrestored Batman #1. Even with the rusty staple, that's an appealing option for a lot of people.

Todd McFARLANE Detective #576 BATMAN YR 2 Battle Pg NR!

While Year 2 is no Year 1, I do have a soft-spot for the work McFarlane did on this series.

Frank MILLER WOLVERINE Mini-Series #2 Page No Reserve

And the flood of Miller art begins? Might be time to finally take the plunge and buy something from Daredevil.

MIKE TURNER FATHOM WIZARD COVER ORIGINAL ART ASPEN

Alex Ross Original MARVELS Large Art Sub-Mariner SPLASH

**** DAVID FINCH MOON KNIGHT #3 COVER****

Captain Marvel #33 page 27 Original Art Jim Starlin

Jim Lee All-Star Batman and Robin #6 page 22 splash!!!

GODZILLA #1 COVER PAINTING BY ERIC POWELL

Killer image. Just fantastic. Take a look at it up there. Well worth whatever price it sells for, if you ask me.

Alex Ross MARVELS Original Art Galactus & Silver Surfer

I would love to own a page from this series. My birthday is coming up soon.

I'm just sayin

BATMAN #652 COVER ART BY SIMONE BIANCHI

I think Bianchi is great, so I figured I ought to share.

George Perez 1981 TEEN TITANS #8 Original Comic Art

To me, this is the era you want for George Perez. This is when I remember him being at his best. He's remained really good, of course, but his work in the early to mid 1980s was so damn "big."

STAR WARS 1 35 CENT PRICE VARIANT MARVEL 1977 1st PRINT

I will never tire of this book.

All original art this week. I'm not sure that's ever happened before.

Captain Marvel #30 page 27 Jim Starlin Original Art

I'm curious what the reserve is for this one and what the final price will be. That's a great page from Starlin. All it's missing is Thanos and it'd be a perfect Starlin panel page. Still, even without Thanos, the top and bottom panels are enough to warrant a big price tag.

HULK #340 McFarlane Original Comic Art FELIX Easter Egg

Classic issue. Maybe not the best page, but it's got Felix the cat on it, so there you go…

Adam Hughes Zatanna Sketch AH!

I love Zatanna and AH! can draw a perty Zatanna.

That's the extent of my insight on this one.

Daredevil Original Artwork by John Romita JR

I'm a huge fan of this run and am pleased to see how much prices have risen over the years. I bought pages from this run for $100-150 a few years ago.

Paul Pope Dr. Doom illustration

Doom looks like a DJ here. A weird, quirky pinup from one of comics' great talents.

It's that time again. Another killer Heritage auction is queued up for our bidding pleasure.

You know, no matter what the other auctions do the most exciting listings of the year are always Heritage's. That's just the reality.

This auction is no exception.

Let's look at some lots.

Archie Comics #1 (MLJ, 1942) CGC VF+ 8.5 White pages

Clearly the most exciting single comic in the auction for me. Early Archies are tough in high grade. This white paged beauty is about to lighten some lucky bidder's wallet in a big way.

John Byrne and Terry Austin X-Men #116 Cover Original Art

I've always liked this cover. It's a classic "comic book" cover. There's some Schomburg style danger and it's great tease to the story within. This is going to sell for many thousands of dollars.

Detective Comics #31 (DC, 1939) CGC GD+ 2.5 Off-white pages

One of the all-time classic covers.

Frank Miller and Klaus Janson Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #3 page 24 Original Art

Just seeing this page makes me want to read the whole book.

It's really interesting to see the adjustments that were made to the published page.

Frank Miller and Terry Austin Daredevil #191 "Roulette" page 18 Original Art

Anyone have any idea what this might go for? Not that I'm asking for any specific reason.

The Avengers #4 Northland pedigree (Marvel, 1964) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages

That's a really nice copy of a great book.

Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta Fantastic Four #40 Awesome Thing page 14 Original Art (Marvel, 1965)…. Original Comic Art: Panel Pages

Are you kidding me with this page? Does it get any better? I don't think so.

Jim Starlin Warlock #5 Cover Original Art

Any Adam Warlock fans are in for a treat with this auction. It's full of great material. This cover is killer.

Showcase #22 Green Lantern – Savannah pedigree (DC, 1959) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white pages

This'll sell for a couple of bucks. I wonder how much? Where are we on the Green Lantern hype scale? This auction will help gauge that.

The Flash #105 Savannah pedigree (DC, 1959) CGC VF 8.0 Cream to off-white pages

I've never owned a copy of this book. Feel free to buy this one for me and send it to me for my birthday.

Jeff Jones Creepy #29 "Angel of Doom" Splash Page 1 Original Art

Is this in The Studio?

Dale Keown Original, First Ever Pitt Drawing Double-Page Illustration Original Art

That's pretty neat.

Fantastic Four #60 (Marvel, 1967) CGC NM/MT 9.8 Off-white to white pages

My favorite run in all of comics ends with this issue. While FF continued to be great beyond this point, the sweet spot for me was really #39-60.

Fantastic Four #57 (Marvel, 1966) CGC NM/MT 9.8 White pages

This stuff makes me feel like I'm 11.

Will Eisner The Spirit (Weekly Comic Book) "P'Gell" page 3 Original Art dated 5-25-47

A page from a very memorable character and story. Nothing flashy about it, but Eisner didn't always have to be flashy to make things happen.

Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird Gobbledygook #1 Cover Original Art

Gobbledygook #1 (Mirage Studios, 1984) Condition: VF+

Almost as many people are probably curious about where this little gem will end up. Personally, I'm fascinated by both of these lots. There's just so much unknown about them it makes for great auction theater.

Real Life Comics #3 (Nedor Publications, 1942) Condition: GD/VG

The Hitler cover to end all Hitler covers.

Marvel Mystery Comics #9 (Timely, 1940) CGC GD+ 2.5 Cream to off-white pages

Not bad looking for a 2.5.

Jim Starlin Strange Tales #178 page 27 Original Art

Sadly, mounted. Otherwise… what a great page. Pure Starlin awesomeness.

Strange Adventures #205 Savannah pedigree (DC, 1967) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages

Someone should make a Deadman movie.

The Flash #135 Savannah pedigree (DC, 1963) CGC NM 9.4 Cream to off-white pages

Green Flash covers are a favorite of mine. I'm not sure why.

And there you have it, another killer Heritage Auction. I'm even bidding on something other than Daredevils this time.

The Incredible Hulk #1 (Marvel, 1962) CGC NM- 9.2

This is clearly the book of the auction. I don't get excited easily by Silver Age marvels, but this book brings a smile to my face. It's tough to find in high grade and it's the HULK.

Hulk smash!

As of this writing it sits at $45,000. Still plenty of room for a thrill bid, I think.

Superman #14 (DC, 1942) CGC VF- 7.5 White pages

Easily one of the top five covers of all time, Superman 14 is a great "slab" book and this copy appears to present extremely well. Hopefully it goes to a good home.

Detective Comics #12 Mile High pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC NM 9.4

A Flessel covered, early Detective from the Edgar Church collection in an almost supernatural state of preservation? You need me to expand on that?

I would love to see the reaction of this book at one of the larger CGC forum dinners. It would be like feeding time at the shark tank. People would line up to get a peek.

Showcase #22 Green Lantern (DC, 1959) CGC VF/NM 9.0

A $30,000 book? $50,000? An 8.0 sold for nearly $20,000 recently, so what does this, one of the three highest graded, sell for?

And what would a 9.2+ do right now? If someone is sitting on a pristine cop of this book, now is the time to bring it to market.

A 9.4 would be a $100k book.

Bernie Wrightson Eerie #62 Cousin Eerie Inside Front Cover

Wrightson's Eerie work is incredible. These days it's not as appreciated as his work for DC, but it's just incredible stuff. This is a prime example.

Joe Kubert Star Spangled War Stories #156 Unknown Soldier Hitler Mask Cover Original Art

A very memorable cover for me. It was tough to pick just one Kubert item to feature, but this one is so striking it won the race.

Bernie Wrightson Frankenstein Published Plate Illustration Original Art

An original Frankenstein plate. Those make me sit up and take notice. Not the greatest plate from the book, but considering the fact that each one if basically a masterpiece, even the "worst" plate in the book is something to cherish. This would be a great Christmas gift for me, just in case you were wondering.

Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers Journey Into Mystery #84 Second Appearance of Thor Splash Page Original Art

An instantly recognizable image for me. I was a big Thor fan for a little while when I was a kid, so I've got about the first 10 issues committed to memory.

Alex Ross Marvels Trade Paperback Painted Cover Original Art

I don't even like Spider-Man all that much and I absolutely love this cover. That's due to Ross and the Marvels association, of course- it's a phenomenal image for the trade cover. Perfect, really.

John Buscema and Dan Adkins Sub-Mariner #8 Sub-Mariner vs. the Thing Cover Original Art

A memorable battle cover. I love the image of the Thing- especially the way his hand obscures the logo.

Dave Cockrum and Terry Austin X-Men #125 Cover Original Art

I forget how good this run was. And then I see a cover like this and I remember back to being a kid and reading this stuff for the first time. Brilliant superhero comics.

Ron Wilson and John Romita Sr. Avengers #125 Cover Original Art

I've always loved this cover. It screams "Bronze Age Marvel" to me- in a good way. I love the menace of Thanos in this image.

I'm also a sucker for the Cosmic Marvel characters in general.

…

So, that's me, what about you guys? What's cool?
