This is another Heritage auction that feels like it's more about original art than comics. Starting, for me at least, with the image above. To me that's one of the great Wrightson horror covers. It's a real belt and suspenders horror image. Just the guy chasing the kids with the bloody ax is pretty creepy, then Wrightson adds in a bandoleer of severed heads to make sure you're kept up at night.
As always what follows are just few of the many lots that have caught my eye in one way or another (minus the ones I've bidding on 🙂 )
Brian Bolland Batman:The Killing Joke Page 14 Original
A significant page from a historical perspective. Super memorable. I don't think I'd like to have this one hanging on the wall because it's so terribly depressing, but it's still a humdinger of a page.
Kevin Eastman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pin-Up Original Art
Pre-#1 artwork. I'm a fan of the raw style they did for these books. I was blown away by TMNT back in the day.
This IS something I'd like to hang on my wall 🙂
Strange Tales #110 Northland pedigree (Marvel, 1963) CGC NM
It's one of the great shames (alongside All Star #8) of all the big 1st appearances. IF this had Doctor Strange on the cover it would be even a cooler book. Don't get me wrong. It's a super cool book, but it would be even more awesome with Doctor Strange on the cover.
Planet Comics #1 (Fiction House, 1940) CGC VG+ 4.5 Off-white
No commentary needed from me. It might not be Action #1, but it's a classic book.
The Amazing Spider-Man #194 (Marvel, 1979) CGC MT 9.9 Off-white
I think this is a great book. I'm not in the market for it myself, but in general I think ASM 194 is a cool, cool book.
Exciting Comics #60 Mile High pedigree
You can't beat this comic book. Schomburg airbrush cover x Nedor x Edgar Church.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #12 Cover B – Sara Richard 1
A unique comic (1 of 1) with art by the excellent Sara Richard. I'm curious what this will sell for.
