jjonahjameson1 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Dillon on Preacher is a lot like Gibbons on Watchmen, from an OA collection standpoint: Most collectors want pages from their one particular title and ignore the rest of their body of work. Hmmm...I think Dillon's run on Punisher has interest to QA collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Sid Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 I hear what you're saying about Punisher, but again I think that's because of the writer. I'd compare it to Gibbons pages from Superman Annual 11. I could be wrong.... what's demand like for Dillon artwork from any of the non-Ennis Punisher stories he's drawn?

Phill the Governor Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 About the same as demand for non Walking Dead Charlie Adlard pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKA Rick Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It's the complete package between the writing and the artwork. Some argue the same of Frank Miller's artwork originally back in the 1980's where it was seen as film noir by many, yet a muddy mess by others, so without the stories to support the artwork, it may not be as valued and sought after as it is today. It's like lyrics and music to a song, they work in synchronicity. I think the speculators market for Preacher pages is pretty strong since it stands alone well as it is without the media hype of Hollywood backing by AMC for a show which may or may not become a reality and even them, may or may not meet critical acclaim by fans nor popular ratings by general audiences. It's still a series that seems highly respected by comic fans. It's similar to what I heard Mike Mignola say one time in a Q&A session. Someone posed a question about Hellboy and asked how he felt the movie(s) changed his comic book work. He said to paraphrase, the books exist and existed the same way as they were when released, and the movie(s) don't change that at all, so if you enjoy the books, read the books and you can continue to enjoy 'em. So, in that same way, nothing that Preacher does or doesn't do via Hollywood can change in a detrimental way, the legacy which has already been built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_not_so_nice Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Mister NSN...value aside, which one would you pick if they were presented side-by-side and you had no other examples? No other PREACHER pages in my collection I'm not sure I understand the question :make point: My first OA purchase was a PREACHER page and it's been downhill ever since. As for a side by side comparison of the last two title pages that have been auctioned? The issue 10 page is the better of the two, in my opinion, for the reasons I stated above. I should have went stronger on the page, but backed off at the last minute. I'll be interested to see this surface on CAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF you had no PREACHER examples, and you were given a choice of these two, which would you pick? I'm not asking which one you think is "better" necessarily, but which one would you rather have? If you still pick the second page, you are going to be in a tiny minority (of one:P). As it is, even with all the pages you have, which one motivated you to bid higher?

For me, the second page is the better of the two I like the "art" of it. The tone and mood of the page is more appealing to me than the humor of the other page. My CAF is a testament (when I have everything active) to the fact that I don't mind being the only fan of certain artists or series My bids are more an indicator of available funds at the time than my hearts desire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexus Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 My very first PREACHER page. Picked it up from Albert at SDCC 2006. Let it go when I got other examples. Winning bid here surprised me, too. Congrats to the seller! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Sid Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Not all that surprising to me. I sold a page on eBay last year for around $1,500 and then sold two more privately for $1,200 apiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierackij Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 And that was before "the announcement" I can't even imagine what will happen to pages if the show is a hit. Unlike WD, there's no new pages coming out and the existing ones are already scarce. I would think that has got to spell monstrous prices for the OA.

I only know of 2 complete issues (outside of my collection). I asked about these a few years back. Since I haven't seen any pages from them I am going to assume they are still complete.

I have no grasp on this market or YTLM as of late. I didn't think the reserve was going to be met, either. When I saw the price drop from $700+ to $600 I really didn't think it was going to pop. I sure hope one bid retraction per auction is not going to be the new trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RYEBABY Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 1000 bucks + for what I'd consider a very average page (no offence intended ! ) seems a very solid price. What would a SoK page or John Wayne page achieve ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Sid Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Average compared to what? It was a nice self-contained page with good shots of Jesse in all six panels. Was it an "A"? Nope, but that was a good page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
