  1. I seem to have started focusing on Surfer commissions... This one's by Justin McElroy, an RPG illustrator I follow on Twitter. I have a few more coming in the queue from Inky Knuckles.
  2. In this case, the artist took on an art rep who immediately told the artist to basically double all their prices. No art dealers or auctions involved.
  3. We stopped by a new artist Thursday morning, flipped through his book, asked about a few pieces he'd sold and the prices. He was pausing all sales because his art rep was coming by. By 2pm, post art rep, all the prices were 2x. On the one hand, good for him! On the other....
  4. Hi, is there a way to find out what items sold for best offer on eBay actually sold for? Thanks!
  5. well, at least I can still afford DWJ art.... oh. wait.
  6. Ian is still drawing! Just contact him through his website at https://www.ianmiller.studio They are a bargain at just 25% of a Tradd Moore page.
  7. I don't collect much anymore, but picked up a few pieces of OA.
  8. Chaos Knight by Ian Miller, 16x20. He has done some comic covers for Swamp Thing, but is mostly known for Warhammer artwork, and this illustration has been etched in my brain for decades.
  9. I've never seen one sell before, but suspect if you threw it up with a BIN of $999 with "make an offer" you'd find out.
  10. Not that I can afford any of it, but Tradd has such a unique style that you can't really compare his work to other comic artists. That, combined with a lack of supply, and obviously the market thought the prices justified.
  11. They sold within a half hour, if not faster…
  12. Is this the most that new comic pages have ever sold for? (as in, freshly sold when the book was published)
  13. Nope! I definitely recall it being a warehouse find.
  14. My list, just focusing on cultural impact Action Comics/Superman - the first superhero, and still one of the most popular Detective Comics/Batman - he's Batman! ASM - the most popular super hero Avengers - the most popular/famous/successful group of heroes Watchmen - changed the nature of comic storytelling Dark Knight Returns - see above TMNT - massively popular for 40ish years now Sandman - launched the Vertigo line and all that came with it Bone - read by every kid growing up in school these day
  15. Walking Dead for sure belongs on this list
  16. Question- the 5 books you initially listed: Adventure Comics More Fun Comics The Brave and the Bold Showcase Shonen Jump I'm not familiar with Shonen Jump, but the others I am, and honestly couldn't put a finger on what cultural impact they have had. More Fun had 1st appearances of a few DC characters who have not had much exposure outside of comics, and Showcase has SA Flash, but I'm stumped on Adventure and B&B... I could see putting Action, 'Tec, ASM and FF on the list before the ones above. Just curious as the the thinking.
  17. I disagree with the criteria of 100 issues/10 years. Almost none of the books listed above have the same creative team or ever writer over that period. Better off to think about specific runs or series with more consistency, e.g. creator-owned books with a definitive ending. If you want to stick with 100 issues/1 decade, I can think of only a few: Cerebus (can we just pretend issues 200-300 didn't happen?) Nexus 100 Bullets Grendel
  18. And 2 more black covers in the same batch. The Cerebus looks like a 9.4/9.6 to me. Not sure what happened there.
  19. Magazine economy press and grade: Received: 10/29/21 Shipped: 10/14/22
  20. IIRC, Primer 2 is also a warehouse find, so actually easier to find than Grendel 1? (at least according to the census)
