Auction ends tonight! Bid on the Dreadstar and/or Boys if you want to and can. Appreciate your consideration.

I tried a little earlier today to post a couple of items I have for sale in the current ComicLink auction that ends next Tuesday. I presented the pages I have for sale through a silly story that apparently caused some confusion as some thought it to be real. My apologies. For the traditional approach: I have listed in the ComicLink auction auction a Dreadstar cover (from the Angel Medina-Peter David run) and a Darick Robertson Billy Butcher full page splash from The Boys. Here are the links: https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FALLSUB.ASP%3FFocused%3D1%26id%3D1398%26Artist%3DANGEL%20MEDINA%23Item_1379332&id=1379332&itemType=1 https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FALLSUB.ASP%3FFocused%3D1%26id%3D1398%26Artist%3DDARICK%20ROBERTSON%23Item_1379331&id=1379331&itemType=1 I appreciate your looking and considering.

I have to agree with bisquitodoom, Saga of the Swamp Thing 30 is the best cover from the Moore run (I may have my own selfish reasons for that vote but there it is)! I do not intend to hijack the "Purchase of the Year" topic, but with the recent dust up caused by the surfacing of the Swamp Thing 37 cover, I did a little basic internet digging into the covers for the Alan Moore Swamp Thing run and it looks like out of the roughly 45 potential covers (issues 20-64 and the Annual 2), only 11 are officially accounted for out there. Between CAF, Heritage, and CLink, I counted the following: 24, 28, 29 (which is - I think - an unpublished version), 37, 38, 40, 43, 47, 51, 56, and 57 So where are the others?

Agreed on all fronts and not sure you are missing anything Malvin. This price seems awfully high for a Bradstreet Punisher cover when reviewing comps, but I can certainly see someone (or several someone(s)) bidding up and potentially overpaying for a good example from this run. Ennis-penned Punisher Max pages - including to some lesser degree the Bradstreet covers - have always seemed under-valued/under-priced to me, particularly in light of the fact that many view these Max stories as among the best, if not THE best, Punisher stories ever produced and as they appear to remain very popular with multiple trades, hardcovers, omnibuses, and “complete” collections keeping this run in print since the original publication (which is now 15 years ago and counting!). Proving though that I could be way off the mark and not really know what I am taking about, I have had posted on CAF for over 3 years the first splash from the Punisher Max #50 issue, the opening title page behind the now record-breaking $5K Bradstreet cover, and it has only captured 213 views as of today (and 0 comments).

Pretty big numbers on the Miller DD and Watchmen pages. I mean, both pages are great but these are top of market amounts being paid for “non-key” pages right?

Dogwelder!

You can reach Travel on CAF: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=23628 Very nice guy. Have had good dealings with him.

Need a little help here. The attached (if the image doesn't attach for some reason please follow this link: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=4310) Kevin Maguire piece was done for the Adventures of Captain America series that came out in 1991/1992. This image was used for a t-shirt (I have seen a picture before but did not save it) and (if my memory serves) for comic shop poster ads in the early 1990s but I can't seem to find images of either. Not sure if the image has appeared in any reprintings of the series into trade format (I don't own any of the trades). Can anyone out there help me find some pictures of where this image was published? Striking out on Google images! Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the compliment on my original art. Yes, I am a big Scalped fan and literally put my money where my mouth is with R.M. Guera! Great crime story with human elements - and good guys doing bad things and bad guys doing good things. Had a real Sopranos/Breaking Bad vibe to me which is hard to pull off in a comic but Aaron and Guera did it masterfully. If you are liking SB you will love Scalped! Just my 2 cents.

While I agree that Southern Bastards is great and that Aaron's Punisher Max run is brutal fun, Scalped is - in my opinion - Aaron's finest work (not to mention incredible art by R.M. Guera). If you have not tried Scalped, do yourself a favor and pick it up. You will not be sorry. Charley http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=4310
