I'm too lazy to go through, but is this the same seller as the previous page from 138 or is it just a coincidence/copycat thing?

X-men #138 page 10 by John Byrne and Terry Austin

Well, how about that? A very cool page for an X-Men fan in general and… it's Byrne!

Phil Noto Superman Lois Lane Heroes Con 2006 Painting

Crummy photo, but knowing Noto that thing must shine in person.

Action Comics #85 CGC 9.2 Universal Grade June 1945

Want listed! What great cover dialog.

Swamp Thing #28 Alan Moore & McManus. GREAT!

What a bad-ass page this is. It's a great image of Swamp thing and it's penned by Moore.

ORIGINAL ART Neil Gaiman/Mike Dringenberg SANDMAN 1990

Sandman took about a year to take off. After that first year the buzz was basically deafening. At this point the book had found its voice and the arc format that would take it through to the end of the run. Classic stuff.

Description:

UP FOR AUCTION:
X-MEN 1 (1963). F/VF 7.0 Graded – Blue Label. Off-White Pages.

Case is in excellent condition. No reserve auction. Far too many comics are overpriced on Ebay with too many sellers trying to get the “value” that some arbitrary price guide says it should be. I believe the true value of comics are whatever you can actually sell them for, like everything in life. Hence, all of my comic books up for auction have NO RESERVE. Good luck bidding.

With graded comics, I do NOT accept returns so please be sure you actually want this book before bidding. Check out the pics and let me know if you have any questions.

FREE SHIPPING (with up to $5k insurance). I only ship to the continental U.S.

The 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 (Absolute Planetary, Frank Miller, TOS 49, Daredevil 7, Chris Ware)

Daredevil 7 CGC 9.2 NM- 1st red costume High Grade!

10+ years into the CGC era and this remains a difficult book to find in high grade. It's a real favorite around these parts AND filter is selling it- what's not to love?

ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY, Volume 1: SUPER-RARE!!!

I learned a lesson with this one- BUY ABSOLUTE BOOKS WHEN THEY COME OUT. I'm super happy to have my Planetary set.

Frank Miller Dark Knight Batman drawing NM no resv

A rather nice image, don't you think? Not exactly this, but it'll be a lot cheaper.

TALES OF SUSPENSE #49 CGC NM- 9.2 WHITE1ST X-MEN X-OVER

There's a lot to like about this book. Iron Man + X-Men = oooh, aaaah, oh wow.

Chris Ware Original Art Page from JIMMY CORRIGAN/ACME

I don't seek it out, but I can't remember seeing any Chris Ware art on eBay before. Maybe I just missed it?

Five for Friday (Jae Lee, Pacific Coast Fantastic Four, Gary Frank, Captain America 6, Michael Turner)

This was a strange week. A lot of good, raw, material- but not so much that really knocked my socks off.

Oh well, on with the show.

Michael Turner Original art Ballistic Issue #3 pg23-24

Turner really burst onto the scene back in the day. This page, from his first series, shows why. He worked in a popular style, but managed to have his own flourishes that really set him apart. He also had a great design sense. Oh, and he was a solid artist. He was stylized, certainly, but underneath everything he could really draw. That set him apart from a lot of guys that were starting out back then.

He's missed.

JAE LEE X-Men: Apocalypse/Dracula #4 Cover!

A Jae Lee cover up for auction AND it's for charity? Bid!

FANTASTIC FOUR 89 , CGC 9.4 , PACIFIC COAST

An old label Pacificc Coast Fantastic Four… hrm… There may be some interest.

GARY FRANK SUPERMAN COVER Original Comic Art

Talk about solid artists… Gary Frank is crazy good. There, I said it.

Captain America Comics #6 Rare Bucky Origin Father TIme

Not a bad looking copy. Technically not all that high grade, but it presents really well. Will make someone very happy, I think.
