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.

Five for Friday (Kirby Fantastic Four, Mignola, FF Annual #1, Toth, Leinil Yu)

Jack Kirby Original Art Fantastic Four # 70 page 8 1968

I love the "Torch flying at the camera" shot.

MIKE MIGNOLA Original Art DRACULA issue 2 p9 SIGNED

No one does black and white like Mignola. He's a master.

Fantastic Four Annual 1 CGC 9.4 white Spider-Man Silver

Annuals don't get their just due, I think. Some of them are very cool.

Alex Toth

Alex Toth art on eBay. NEED I SAY MORE.

Superman Splash Page by Leinil Yu

I've always been a fan. One of my favorite inking samples from back when I did that stuff was over his pencils.

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

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 (Doug Mahnke, FF5, Dell'otto, Jim Lee, Travis Charest)

ORIGINAL TRAVIS CHAREST WILDCATS VOL 2 ISSUE 7 COVER

There are better, more detailed and impressive covers from Charest's work on WildCats, but this one is certainly memorable design-wise.

GREEN LANTERN #52 COVER ART – SINESTRO * DOUG MAHNKE

This is a great recent cover from one of the best titles of the past few years.

Fantastic Four 5 CGC 8.0 off-white – white 1st Dr. Doom

One of the best books EVER.

DELL'OTTO ASTONISHING X-MEN #1 WOLVERINE VARIANT COVER

I usually don't go for penciled original art, but this is a seriously great image of wolverine.

Jim Lee Elektra Splash Original Art

Drawn on tour? Really? Like… as a sketch? Jim Lee is PRO.

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.

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

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 (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.

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.

Five for Friday (McKean, Lim, McFarlane, Batman #1, Frank Miller)

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.
