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

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 (Ron Lim, Arabic Superman, McFarlane Spider-Man, Sam Kieth Sandman, Chris Ware)

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.

The MOST classic cover!!

FANTASTIC FOUR #73 CGC 9.8 HIGHEST GRADED vs AVENGERS

I love this cover, personally. Bone white, by the looks of it. I even like the date stamp. I'm not a date stamp hater, but that one seems almost well placed.

MYSTIC 7 CGC 3.5 (R) Classic Kirby Hitler ! 1st WITNESS

Not a book you see on eBay all that often.

MOPSY COMICS #1 CGC CENTRAL VALLEY PEDIGREE HIGHEST

All art this week. As a change of pace, I'm going to just let the images do the talking.

MIKE TURNER FATHOM WIZARD COVER ORIGINAL ART ASPEN

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.
