Howdy - I added another Venom Cover to my collection. It is issue 38. Hope you like it. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1836390

I am more than tired of them and even more that dealers use this instead of updating their websites and if they update the sites it shows all the items that will be on sale at the show. Honestly I don’t have the time to watch these shows. I prefer a solid dealer website update instead. Are the shows fun and extremely well done, absolutely. Kudos to Bill and the dealers, but as I said, give me a website update instead. I am buying comic art for 25 years now and have bought zero from any of these shows.

Anyone any intel on this?

I was tempted to bid but then to me something is off with that cover and I did not research it enough before bidding. Why has it only Perez on the cover and not the inker? Maybe I am too cautious and should have bid. Who knows.

Here is a pic, forgot to add it to my post.

Hi Everyone, I am super excited to have this Spectacular Spider-Ham Cover 16 to share with you. Hope you like it as much as I do. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1822233

Thank you for your reply. I am sure more and more information regarding this will come up. It is all over in the news. My post simply started by being curious about exactly what your saying, or guessing as we all are. Thanks again.

I am laughing while I am typing this and I am REALLY NOT feeling being attacked at all. All good. Really. To me the question is still unanswered but everyone is correct with what they are saying. So why is it that in this instance it was done over the original pencil and inks vs. over a copy, like on all the other DKR cover? Both processes are for the FM/LV combo the same thing? So no comparison to other specific results using a specific process. I am not comparing it to other cover coloring processes, but to the FM/LV process.

I am pretty sure I get it, but your explanation does not apply to my question or comment at all, but please let us not start a heated discussion, that was and is not my intention. Simply put, why was only this cover colored over the pencil and ink version? The explanation was not given yet and we all probably don’t have the answer, unless we say, we don’t know. And here is why, at least in my view. So who colored the DKR 1 cover - directly over the original pencil and ink version - from Frank Miller ? Lynn Varley. So who colored DKR 2 and DKR 3 for example - however not directly over the original pencil and ink version - but a copy or similar ? Lynn Varley. The point is she could have colored it over a copy as well, just as she did for other pieces. She would have or was handed the same starting point/piece of art whether it would have been over a copy or the original. But for this one it was done, as we know, differently because it was over the pencil and ink version. I totally dig that this is both, the original and colored piece and am just wondering.

Interesting. Thanks for your explanation. I guess the part that still does not make sense to me is that the other covers were also colored after the fact, Just like every piece of comic art. The other DKR cover however were not colored over the original inks. In the end it is the same thing, I get it. So to me it is still unclear why this was done over the pencils / inked piece. Knowing that this wanted look is usually done afterwards anyways - why deciding doing this one over the inked piece. I am not questioning the authenticity of this legendary piece.

Regarding the DKR cover - simply out of curiosity, why are all the other cover like issue 2,3…pencils and inks only and this one is in color? What is the story behind this.

Just added this Wolverine Cover 2 by Esad Ribic to my CAF. Was looking for an older cover by him, there are so many details in his earlier work and for me this was a perfect example. Also, I totally feel for poor Logan, he just wanted to read a book, drink a cold beverage and relax. And as it is a Monday morning, I thought it fits . https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1816279

Howdy - so far most of my posts were funny stuff like a Venom Cover, a silver age Batman strip or a Maleev Daredevil Cover so I decided to post some serious stuff this time. Here you go - Amazing Spider-Man Annual 1 cover featuring the ultimate lethal Marvel Character “The Spectacular Spider-Ham”. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1812764

I think your Elektra is authentic. However Sanjulian himself (in my opinion unfortunately) is a big swiper himself. I have no idea why he does this as he is so good doing his own stuff.

Interesting post and I would love to learn more about it. So the first example you post, the pencil piece supposed to be the final piece for the cover - but there are differences if you ask me. Or was it used as a draft to be then fine tuned digitally? The other piece, the interior DD, seems pretty identical to the published page, but then again the baton / rope or whatever you call it got added and the image is only a part of the complete page, was the rest done digital? I simply would like to know more about it. I like his work, but don’t have much knowledge about how he did that particular run.

Among quite a few other things!

Yes this is a great help to geschneit to fellow collectors here and I am super happy to have located that cover. Thick you.

Here is another Venom Cover 37 by Declan Shalvey. Hope you like it. The cover also features Philly just like the other cover from issue 36 which you will also find in my collection. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1805902

To me it is Bagley-ish 🤷‍♂️
