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.

Five for Friday (Venom Lethal Protector, TOS #8, Iron Man #281 CGC 10.0, Planet #2, Mike Turner DPS)

Michael Turner Original! Superman Batman! 2 pg Splash!!

That's a pretty bad-ass splash page, I have to say.

Planet Comics 2 CGC 5.5 Fiction House Scarce Lou Fine c

What's not to love about Early Planets? NOTHING, that's what.

Iron Man #281 CGC 10.0 white pages ( War Machine ) !

It's MINTY.

Venom Lethal Protector #1 Black error CGC 9.6!

My kind of book, just because of how rare it is for a new book.
For more on this cover.

Yeah, you love early TOS. You know you do.

Five for Friday (Mike Mayhew, Mike Turner Batman, Fin Fang Foom, Star Wars Dark Empire, Alex Ross)

That's a great little head sketch and… you know I like to post Michael Turner pieces.

Mike Mayhew The Pulse 5 Cover Spider-Man Green Goblin

I remember this piece from when it was on the shelves. I'm a fan

Strange Tales #89 CGC VF 7.0 – Fin Fang Foom! 1961

Need I say anything? FIN FANG FOOM!

1 STAR WARS DARK EMPIRE PLATINUM COMIC BOOK SET CGC 9.8

This is one of those ones that I post because… I had no clue those books were that valuable.

Alex Ross Kingdom Come Original Art Deadman NR!!

Deadman is pretty big in the DCU right now, strangely enough.

Five for Friday

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.

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!!!

Highlights from the May 2011 Heritage Auction

Frank Miller and Klaus Janson Batman: The Dark Knight #3 Batman and Robin Iconic Splash Page 10 Original Art

You thought I was going to start somewhere else? I don't care what anyone else thinks… To me this page is the best piece of comic art from the 1980s I've ever seen for sale and is one of the best possible pages from the entire decade. Simply amazing.
(more…)

Five for Friday (Jim Lee X-Men, Showcase #9, Alex Ross Marvels, Dave McKean, Amazing Spider Man 321 9.9)

Alex Ross MARVELS Original Art Galactus & the Avengers

While it's probably not the best page from Marvels, there aren't any BAD pages from Marvels, so this one is definitely a winner.

BLACK ORCHID #1 P 12 ORIGINAL ART BY DAVE MCKEAN NO RES

Again, this is not the best page from this series. But… who cares? It's early Dave McKean comic art.

Amazing Spider-man #321 CGC 9.9 – 1 of 3 best copies

Minty freshness. The fact that there's not a Mint copy of a book like this tells you how hard it actually is to get 10s on older books. This book was bought by the stack back in the day.

Showcase #9 – 1st App LOIS LANE – Looks VG – RARE KEY

I've been known to feature a Showcase #9 here from time to time. Oh, look, here's one now.

x-men 256 wolverine psylocke Jim Lee Scott Williams

And this began a partnership that changed comic art forever. Early work from the pair that, along with McFarlane, set the tone for comic book art for the ensuing 10-20 years.

Five for Friday (mignola, Superman #2, All American #16, Chew #1, Miracleman)

Mike Mignola ORIGINAL ART Hellboy Illustration – RARE!

Mignola just knocks it out of the park every time, doesn't he? Even this little thing is just a joy.

Superman #2 Comic Fall 1939 Edition Detective Comics

It's always fun to watch auctions like this- key golden age books listed by a non-comics seller. Who's boldest?

Miracleman COMPLETE SET 1-24 High Grade 13, 15, 16

This is the absolute best way to get these books. The full lot will scare off people chasing individual issues and you then have the whole thing to sit down and read. Sweet.

All-American Comics #17 CGC 5.5 2nd app Green Lantern

I like the cover of #17. It's bold. Plus… 2nd Green Lantern.

CHEW 1 CGC 9.9 1ST PRINT VHTF TV SERIES COMING NO RESER

You crazy kids and your modern minty fresh comical books…

Five for Friday (Eric Powell, George Perez, Star Wars #1 35 Cent Variant, Alex Ross, SIMONE BIANCHI)

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.
