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.

Five for Friday (Alex Ross, Firefly, All Select 11, Sandman, Sienkiewicz)

Firefly's KAYLEE by JO CHEN, signed by Jewel Staite

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.

Some Photos from the Boston Comic Con

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.

the cover to fantastic four 72

Tak Toyoshima had a table.

High Value eBay Comics Auction For the Week Ending 2011.4.30 (Amazing Spider-Man #1 CGC VF/NM 9.0)

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:

Five for Friday (Classics #1, Finch art, Jim Lee WildCats, Transformers #1, Spider Jerusalem)

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.

Five for Friday (Jim Lee, Jim Starlin, David Finch, Alex Ross, Mike Turner)

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

Alex Ross Original MARVELS Large Art Sub-Mariner SPLASH

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

Captain Marvel #33 page 27 Original Art Jim Starlin

Jim Lee All-Star Batman and Robin #6 page 22 splash!!!

Five for Friday (Strange Adventures #1, Kelley Jones Sandman, Batman 608 RRP, Adi Granov, New Adventures 23)

Strange Adventures #1 CGC 7.0 FN/VF Universal

I always link to these. I guess I'm a fan.

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.

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.

Five for Friday (mignola, Superman #2, All American #16, Chew #1, Miracleman)

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.

CHEW 1 CGC 9.9 1ST PRINT VHTF TV SERIES COMING NO RESER

You crazy kids and your modern minty fresh comical books…
