Description:

All Star Comics 9. FEB 1942. Page 1 opening splash page to the Spectre Story. Pen/brush and ink, 'Twice up artwork'. Inked onto medium thick board. As i'm sure all interested parties will know this is a very rare opportunity to acquire an important piece of Golden age Spectre art, i personally have never seen an earlier image than this one of the Spectre, and i don't believe it would be possible to find a better image than this stunning Splash page, i would guess that the art is by Bernard Baily as he was responsible for most early Spectre art, but please do your own research on this. It is in excellent condition overall, there is some light surface discoloration and dirt and a few corner bumps to the board. The top dialogue box is a stat and looks to be original as it's hand inked. There is a VERY small amount of white out to the lower part of the Spectre's leg in the big image and 2-3 very tiny spots in the smaller box's (please see pic), there is a date stamp on the back reading 'FEB. 1942'. The image size is approx 17.3/4" x 12.3/4". I am a long time collector and am selling a few of my pieces, some of which (including this one) hav'nt been on the market for many many years. I will be happy to answer any question's to the best of my knowledge, so please use the 'ask seller a question' button and i will do my best to help.

Not that they've exactly flown under the radar, but we've all been paying just a little bit of extra attention. Time to give CL some love:

AMAZING FANTASY #15 CURATOR PEDIGREE CGC 9.0 VFNM

This will clearly be the headline book as Amazing Fantasy continues to generate ridiculous results. $135,000 as of this writing.

X-MEN #1 CGC 9.4

So is a 9.4 X-Men #1 really a 100k book? This one is at 70k right now.

INCREDIBLE HULK #1 CGC 9.0 VFNM

I'll never tire of Hulk #1. Apaprently neither will collectors.

SHOWCASE #4 CGC NM- 9.2

This won't sell for what it should. Showcase #4 needs to see some of the love that Showcase #22 has seen over the past few years so that it can get it's rightful place near the top of the Silver Age tables back. It's never going to tbe the #1 book again, or even #2, but it should be a strong #3.

SUPERMAN #1 CGC 2.0

It'll be interesting to compare results on this and Heritage's copy.

DETECTIVE COMICS #1

A book I love. I'll never tire of that red cover.

SHOWCASE #22 CGC 8.5 VF+

I shudder to think what this book will sell for, especially since I was in the market for a copy in this range a few years ago

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #17 CGC 9.8

Obscene amount of money? Maybe. Anything for a Spider-man book is too much in my opinion (I kid!)

PELLUCIDAR PAINTING JEFFREY JONES

Gorgeous, no?

Rare Silver Age art from one of the greatest comic artists of all time. Only two pages of Wood Daredevil art are on ComicArtFans.com (one being Eric Roberts' cover to #5) and none are from the key issue #7.

It's at $7,000 right now. That seems like it's still a thrill bid. I have no idea what this page will sell for, but I have a feeling it won't feel like enough in 5 years.

Alex Ross Stated "Animal rescue is one of my favorite causes. Saved Whiskers does great work to save the lives of animals in need. Doing this painting for them was also a great excuse for me to illustrate a version of a character I love. It is a donation that I'm extremely proud of".

Yes it is. Here are a few lots I'm watching:

WEB OF SPIDER-MAN #1 CGC 10.0 MT

Sue me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Modern drek. Copper crapola. Whatever This is cool to me.

STAR WARS #1 CGC 9.6 NM+ 35 CENT PRICE VARIANT

If a 9.4 sells for $10,000 what's this worth? $25,000? The Earth shudders.

INCREDIBLE HULK #1 CGC 9.4 NM Slight Professional Restoration

I'm seriously curious where this ends up. Color touch and a trim means it might have been, what- a 9.0 before it was doctored? Interesting to speculate on how much value was pulled out of the book by the work.

GREEN LANTERN #59 CGC 9.8 NM/MT

I'm a fan of this book in general. A shiny, pedigree 9.8 copy? Yes.

GREEN LANTERN #76 CGC 9.4 NM

Ho hum. This would be exciting, except Doug's selling this $40,000 bronze age beast right now.

DAREDEVIL #159 PAGE 1 TITLE SPLASH DAREDEVIL VS BULLSEYE FRANK MILLER/KLAUS JANSON

I have a clear memory of the first time I saw this page. I'm all nostalgic right now.

MARVEL GRAPHIC NOVEL #5 PAGE 20 X-MEN! "GOD LOVES MAN KILLS" BRENT ANDERSON

Not the greatest page from the book. But this is one of the best X-Men stories of all time, so how bad a page can it be?

I limited myself to picking twelve lots of interest to share with you guys. It was tough because this is an auction full of some interesting material. The Joe Kubert lots themselves could have produced a decent set of 12 items to ogle.

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?
