THE MIGHTY THOR 3 PAGE 22 BY OLIVIER COIPEL!

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.

Five for Friday (Jim Starlin, Ed McGuinness, Ashley Wood, All Select #11, Avengers #93)

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

Tales of Suspense #8 CGC 8.5 1st APP MONSTRO CLASSIC

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

Five for Friday (Darwyn Cooke, Wrightson, Finch, Wonder Woman #1, Famous Funnies #1)

Wonder Woman #1, CGC 9.0 Restored Grade, Summer 1942

You know I'm a big Wonder Woman fan, so if a copy of #1 ends up on eBay I'm going to feature it here.

FAMOUS FUNNIES #1 CGC 6.5 Unrestored Fine+ 1934 Rare!

A "Rare!" book that's actually pretty rare. What an odd book to see just show up on eBay.

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

This is a pretty memorable cover. Great design work.

# BERNI WRIGHTSON LARGE ORIGINIAL BATMAN ILLUSTRATION#

Wrightson turned into a "batman" guy at some point. I wish he'd drawn the character regularly in the 1970s. That would have been a magical combination for collectors.

DARWYN COOKE~ORIGINAL ART~PAINTING~SMOKIN'…LITERALLY

And finally… DARWYN COOKE IS THE MAN. BOOOOOOOM.

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.
