Closed, met my sales goal

for someone that feels like they are not collecting much these days. I feel like i've been adding a bunch to the collection of late. But i couldn't pass up this Cammo page when it was offered to me. https://cafurl.com?i=29737

A cool pickup this week. A nice Spidey vs Venom fight page. https://cafurl.com?i=29689

I finally got the rest of the pages up that I was able to get from Sean Phillips. There's a lot of them, so if you want to see them all follow the link. Below are a couple of my favorites. All from The Invisibles, Volume 3, by Sean Phillips and Jay Stephens. 15 pages in total! It's not easy to find a group of pages like this anymore. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerynew.asp?gcat=53881&pm=1&PI=18&days=30

Been trying to get in touch with Sean Philips for nearly a decade to ask about any Invisibles art he had left. Finally was able to get him via instagram and was able to get a few pages from him. Here's the 1st one. An awesome page that i'm just smitten with the layout of, where Edith is dying and remembering her life with Barbelith in the background of the flashback. https://cafurl.com?i=29611

Really slowing down in my old age =) I just put my 2023 purchases up on CAF: (edit - dang, i'm losing my mind, forgot i had uploaded 2 already (removed them) One of my favorite pages from the 1st Superior Spider-Man run. A cool half splash from Grant Morrison's X-Men run with Wolverine, Cyke and Fantomex, and (for me) a page I've wanted for a long time, a cool page from issue 1 of the Invisibles. https://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=240395

My new art days are pretty few and far between these days. But once i saw this was up for grabs I knew i had to get it! One of the 1st pages with Ragged Robin and King Mob from the invisibles. Plus that second panel might be one of my favorite Robin images in the whole series. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1933271

this show felt like homework to watch, i dropped it after episode 2, no regrets.

This is a pretty <in>famous page that Liefeld traced, i think for XF1?

I'd be more concerned that it is going to end early because someone Vito Corleone's him.

I have never liked a show that makes me feel a bad as this one. The rollercoaster of this show has been amazing. I was thinking about why this show feels like Walking Dead, but I like it more. the characters have a mission, a goal and agency, vs it felt like Walking Dead became "meandering around in the woods with Rick and Daryl"

Not many new art days for me these days. But I saw this page and really thought it was great. Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys the Marvel Universe 1 Pg 12 https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1895015

had a bunch of amazon no-rush rewards after xmas, and got the "early access" on prime. I have to say, i went in with low expectations, but i really liked it! it's now one of my son's favorite movies, and even my wife gave it a thumbs up. A good family night movie for sure!

This show will be like pizza for me, no matter how bad it is, it'll still be DnD and i'll enjoy it.

I think as a collector (of anything) this is really good perspective that I think everyone should have. Regrets, we all have a few, but most of them let us get other things that we cherish today as well. I think too many people forget they sold x that's worth 25 times more today, but it was to help them get that page in their collection that they love.

It's not easy to keep a site like that up and running on an AOL.com connection.

It's easy to forget how old it is! I took both my kids to see it (who are both younger than this movie) and they both were floating 6 inches off the ground they were so blown away by it (we saw it in imax 3d). It may not have the best plot of all time, but it sure does look pretty.

When i had a problem similar to this, i took it to my local framer's that i became friendly with. They had a giant hot press and took care of it for me. -Pete

I just want the skeletor riding a liger with a laser barge saddle toy. That looks pretty sweet.

I watched it with my family last weekend. 6 year old loved it, 10 year old tapped out half way though (said it was boring), my wife and I both thought it was pretty below average. There are some pretty good animated movies these days, this one was pretty uninspired. But I agree with above, the fan-pandering jokes were the highlight.

Yeah, it's mostly been a swing and a miss for me. I got 2 nice things from Sam Wood a long time ago, but that's been pretty much it. The other stuff I've seen offered have either been way too much or not been something memorable enough to take the plunge.

As the years have gone on, I've narrowed into a few specific sub-set of collecting: 1: The Invisibles by Grant Morrison 2: RPG Art from the games I played a lot (Rifts and D&D 3/3.5) 3: Singular examples of nostalgia from my youth (Jim Lee XM, Liefeld NM/FX, AA Fantastic Four among others) 4: Slott Era ASM/SSM Once I kind of found my "lane" (and it took a while) I found collecting a lot more enjoyable.

Pages have become pretty hard to find these days. Best of luck getting a good one!

My wife and I finally got to this series (we constantly have a backlog of shows to watch). we're 6 episodes in, and so far it's been really good! I hope they can find some place to make season 2. I read that releasing it 2 weeks after Stranger Things plus a total lack of advertising killed the show, and that's a shame.

"back in the day", I'd chalk a lot of that up to trading. Dealers buy, mark up, and then trade it for a ton of smaller pages for a "bigger fish" catch for the collector. Then the dealer has a bunch of lower end art that's easier to move at a great mark-up. But these days, who knows anymore.
