I live Firefly AND it's for charity. Say no more.

All Select #11 Blonde Phantom Cover High Grade- Timely

Classic cover. I like me some classic covers.

Sandman 6 pg 18 Rare Original Dringenberg Art Gaiman

There's been some movement on eBay with early pages surfacing. It's an interesting development. If they keep listing them, I'll keep posting them

BILL SIENKIEWICZ Original Art Painted VAMPIRE PLATE 80s

I had this portfolio, so this is a very memorable piece for me. Nice to see the original still out there.

Alex Ross Original KINGDOM COME SPLASH Large Art

See above.

One photo gets special comment and then the rest get a little less attention.

Bechara brought out one of his gems. The cover to Fantastic Four #72. I've seen some cool art in my time, but for me this was one of the best ever. I'm a huge cosmic Kirby fan. I'm a big Surfer fan. I'm a Fantastic Four fan. Hell, I even like the Watcher! This one has it all.

Tak Toyoshima had a table.

And there were people in costume

Amazing Spider-Man #1 CGC VF/NM 9.0 Stunning perfection

Sold For:14,000.00 Seller: dizneyart ( 3572 )

Description:

Amazing Spider-Man #1

CGC VF/NM 9.0
(Marvel Publications – March, 1963)

Completely Unrestored except for minor cover clean

This Gem received the most minor of all restoration notes.

A simple cover clean. That is it.

There was a light dust shadow on the back cover and it was only partly removed. It did not improve the grade at all, so it is not really restoration. This is a Major KEY issue in fabulous original shape other than the very minor cover clean.

Classic cover by Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby

Interior art by Steve Ditko

Origin of The Spider-Man!

1st Chameleon – Fantastic Four too!

About the condition:
This is an amazing Super High grade example, with deep color strike, full gloss, and cream to off-White pages.

Please look at the pictures to see the grade and defects.

The Book:

Classic Comics #1 (O) VG- 3.5 Three Musketeers 1941

Not a book I've seen very often on eBay. Not that I've been looking, but it's valuable enough that if it were listed often, I'd see it.

TRANSFORMERS 1 1984 CGC 9.8 1'st OPTIMUS PRIME,MEGATRON

Just throwing out a curve ball. I clearly showcase books from the 1980s, but how often does this list include a book like this? Not very often.

JIM LEE SCOTT WILLIAMS WILDCATS PAGE! NO RESERVE!!!!

For sale by Williams himself.

Original Comic Art Transmetropolitan: Darick Robertson

This is a sick, sick piece. It's just a great example featuring one of the great comic characters of the past 20 years.

New Avengers – All Action – Finch!!

I love Finch's stuff. You should too.

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

KELLEY JONES Sandman #22 p6 ORIGINAL ART Neil Gaiman

While Sam Kieth never looked like "Sam Kieth" on Sandman, Kelly Jones sure as hell (har) did. This is a very memorable page from him during a classic arc on one of the biggest books of all-time.

Batman 608 CGC 9.8 HUSH RRP Variant NM+/M

Nearly $2500 with 8 days to go. I wonder if it's got a chance for $3k (high GPA for this book.)

ADI GRANOV! CAPTAIN AMERICA! HAIL HYDRA! COVER!

Adi Granov is great. He's like one of the European greats in style, but he's doing American Super Hero comics. I'll take it.

New Adventure Comics #23 VG 1938 very rare! Gerber 8

Not your average eBay book.

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.

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.

SANDMAN #1 original comic art Sam KIETH + Neil GAIMAN

Sold For:$15,000 Seller: moviexp (645)

Description:

The Page:
Issue: The Sandman #1
Title: Sleep Of The Just
Published: January 1989

Writer: Neil Gaiman
Penciller: Sam Kieth
Inker: Mike Dringenberg

Original comic book artwork for The Sandman #1 page 9. This historic issue features the 1st Appearance of the main character the Sandman also known as Dream. It features close-up views of Dream's tools which are seldom seen together throughout the entire series. The layout of this page is highly inventive in composition and symmetry which may have been inspired by M.C. Escher's Hand with Reflecting Sphere lithograph.

In over ten years in collecting Sandman comic art, I have never seen a page featuring a 1st appearance of the main character Sandman offered for sale to the public. High-end Sandman pages are typically sold privately between collectors and are never made available to the general public. This may be your only chance to own a page from this iconic issue from The Sandman #1.

The comic artwork is signed by Sam Kieth on the bottom left, by Mike Dringenberg on the bottom right and by Neil Gaiman on the center bottom of page. Neil Gaiman cleverly personalizes his signature with a quote from the page itself that says "A profitable evening's work" recognizing the importance that this comic page now represents.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE AUCTION PAGE:

A group of occultists seeking immortality led by Roderick Burgess attempts to summon and capture the very essence of Death. Instead of trapping Death, they have caught her brother Dream. While knocked unconscious from being summoned, Dream is stripped of all his possessions, the tools of his power; Ruby, Helm, Pouch, and Cloak. He is then confined inside a crystal dome prison. Stripped naked, Dream patiently waits for an opportunity to break free from his imprisonment.

Original SuperBoy cover Dustin Nguyen NO RESERVE

A great image from a super talented artist. Nguyen has great design sense and a smooth style- both of which are on full display here.

Tony Harris Ex Machina Power Down TPB Cover – HUGE!

Yes, this series wore on me towards the end and I would have dropped it if it weren't finite… BUT, this is a cool cover.

1st Captain America – Avengers #4 CGC NM 9.4 – 1964

After the recent sale, I'd expect eBay to be plastered with this book. There are about 50 Amazing Fantasy 15s.

Captain America #279 Mike Zeck Beatty Splashy Page!

This is a killer page. Zeck is a master at putting black down on the page. Lots of drama here.

Jim Lee Original WildCATs page. Half-splash Awesome!

I already miss Wildstorm.
