So sad. One of my grandmother's uncles was an artist in the 30's and I'd love to be able to get a page of his. Can't imagine just wanting to throw them all away.

DC being cheap and wanting art scan for free?
bisquitodoom replied to faust1104's topic in Original Comic Art
I got the same message about one of my Swamp Thing pieces. He had a dcentertainment.com address, but otherwise was the same, even the note that it was for a specific volume of the Alan Moore Swamp Thing Absolute Edition. I wouldn't mind contributing, but it's framed and can't be removed without reframing. It's definitely out of the norm not to offer a complimentary copy, but I've always wondered how those artists editions made any money if they gave a free one to anyone who contributed a scan. -

Please help: Was this Green Lantern piece published?
bisquitodoom replied to Drewsky's topic in Original Comic Art
I checked Action 599-601 and Green Lantern Corps 223-224. Not in any of those, unless I missed them somehow Maybe a GL cover that got started, but then abandoned after the switch to Action? -
Heritage January 2021 Signature Auction
bisquitodoom replied to Bill C's topic in Original Comic Art
Isn't that the first Deadpool #1? Maybe that helped drive it up? And it's relatively early in the character's history. -
Maybe a bump because it's issue #1? I think your valuation's about right.

I second that. That's where I did most of my checking. It showed the source and the number of pieces they added.

I like how you apologize for a brief outage for a very valuable, completely free service you provide. But thanks for getting it online again so fast! It's a really great tool!

OA stream of consciousness thread
bisquitodoom replied to exitmusicblue's topic in Original Comic Art
I think things shoot up in price quickly, but it takes a long time for them to come down, even if the movie/show doesn't create a splash. Increased demand from a movie rumor can create a run and increase prices quickly as people resell and mark them up. But the decreased demand after the movie flop doesn't force those with inventory to sell at a loss. So they sit there forever at the inflated prices. Just like all the 1990's "hot" issues were still for sale at 1993 prices at shops 10 years later, even when no one really wanted them. -
Really nice! The reprint of this was the second Silver Age X-men book I ever bought. I thought the cover was really cool, and this splash has the same sort of feel to it. No battle, but it's almost cooler without it. Really nice Magneto image. He really didn't appear that much in the book between Kirby and Steranko, so there aren't many to pick from in this run.

I really liked the Black Hole. It didn't have enough action for the Star Wars crowd, but it was a really moody picture with great music and some really striking character designs. I group it with some of the other "kids" movies of the time that were way more adult than any adult probably realized. Watership Down, Hobbit, Secret Of Nihm, Plague Dogs

I used to think those Larocca covers like this where he'd only ink some of the blacks were sort of strange. But the more I see of them, the more I like them. I like his style and it makes the art really stand out. Nice score!

Need some help identifying a piece - Ron Garney X-men
bisquitodoom replied to Unstoppablejayd's topic in Original Comic Art
Yeah, just glue some trade dress on there with superglue and ask 3x what you paid for it and you're all set. -
Need some help identifying a piece - Ron Garney X-men
bisquitodoom replied to Unstoppablejayd's topic in Original Comic Art
I skimmed through the issues I know of Ron Garney drawing and no luck. It's from that same timeperiod. May be an unpublished piece? It's really nice though. -
November Comiclink Auction Thread
bisquitodoom replied to exitmusicblue's topic in Original Comic Art
Yeah, this one's a really great piece. I think over 100. -
I really don't care for most of the art on that run, but the stories make it plenty good reading. But it beats the heck out of his second run. That's some rough stuff.
