Some interesting listings this week. I'm a big fan of the above cover.

Original BATMAN cover by P. Craig Russell

Just a great image. Everything you want from PCR. Would look phenomenal framed.

Showcase 6 CGC 5.5 OW/W Pages

I've never owned this book. Just sayin'

(no, I'm not bidding on it. There are about $50,000 worth of Daredevils I'm trying to sort through bidding on between ComicLink and Pedigree this month, so whatever I target amongst those is going to be my entire comic budget)

Daredevil 1 CGC 9.2 NM- Stan Lee Everett Jack Kirby

There are a lot of Daredevil #1s available right now. Really nice ones. Hopefully Filter will get a good price for his. Clearly people in the market for a 9.6 aren't going to go after a 9.2 so he's probably got a shot.

SANDMAN #1 Page 11 Original Art – NEIL GAIMAN SAM KIETH

Not the best Sandman page…. BUT, it's a page from #1. That's pretty cool.

Seduction of the Innocent, first, with bibliography

A great piece of comic book history.

James Jean FABLES 69 Painting Original Cover Art

Winning bid: US $8,306.00 Seller: comiconart!! ( 3187 )

Description:

Condition: excellent – archivally framed

COMMENTS: This is a fantastic original painted cover by modern master James Jean! Over the course of his landmark seven year run as the cover artist for Fables, James amassed an impressive FIVE consecutive Eisner Awards for Best Cover Artist, as well as countless other awards and accolades. Since ending his run on Fables with the cover to Fables 81, James has devoted his time to persuing a career in fine art. Judging by his sold out solo show "Kindling" at Jonathan Levine Gallery in January of 2009, and his recent exhibition of new work at the Giant Robot anniversary show at the Japanese American National Museum, it's clear to see that James wastes no time in rising to the top!

This particular cover is a fully painted piece for the penultimate issue of "The Good Prince"! Created at the beginning of his final year on Fables, this piece is an excellent indication of the direction in which James would be heading. With similar subject matter, and executed in a similar style to the work exhibited in his first solo fine art show, this piece deftly bridges the gap between comic art and contemporary fine art. The painting itself measures 15" x 22", acrylic on Rives BFK, and the painting has been archivally framed next to a full-size giclee print of the final published artwork, also signed and dated by James Jean. It truly does not get much better than this!

For more art by this and other artists, please check out my other auctions. Thanks!

I am happy to combine shipping on multiple wins and website purchases!
