jjonahjameson1 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The dialogue is what makes is the book A-Level for me. It's beats any A-List Hollywood flick! You're preaching to the converted The dialogue is the main thing for me and these always crack me up and don't feature any of the central characters! http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=731445 http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=622403 http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=622408 "We've run out of gerbil lubricant."

Nexus Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 This thread makes me want an A level Preacher page. Your wantlist just got more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Marino Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 This thread makes me want an A level Preacher page. Your wantlist just got more expensive. I wonder how much though. I see much less fluctuation in OA values with movies than the physical comics. Maybe the only example that I can think of is Thanos / IG art that's really appreciated with Movie / TV speculation.

Jesusjon Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 This thread makes me want an A level Preacher page. Your wantlist just got more expensive. Probably based on the speculation of a tv show becoming more likely. But this could be in development hell for a while and maybe never happen. Just the constant creative churn trying to get something made. I'll believe it when creative elements are attached and a pilot is shooting. Even then, it could not get picked up. Still, if everyone who thinks they see the writing on the wall for a show rush out and try to get a page, then yes. I have a friend of a friend in development/production over at AMC. Will try to see how it's looking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, show hype might bring more quality pages to market. I certainly hope so. Right now, my problem is less the price of the pages and more the availability of the kinds of pages I'm looking for!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garf Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Well it seems it won't be long before the remaining scraps are off the market, the few that have been available are being bought up. Assume that the TV deal progressing had tipped the scale for some people. Had toyed with the idea of getting something average... but I get the feeling the ship has sailed and is going to dock on the other side over the next 18 months. *sigh* There is going to be enough competition for a while to come and it's a book that deserves all the recognition it gets.

Garf Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 You'll gain a better appreciation for the art after you read the story Yup. +1 It's a must read, make sure you have the entire run available before you start. Get it done, no ifs and no buts, just read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malvin Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Yup, often times with OA, the pricig has more to do with nostalgia, which is driven mostly be writing, not the art form. Malvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Sid Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 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.

sierackij Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Is anyone else following this? http://m.ebay.com/itm/231172095978?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE I'm surprised to see it already go higher than the last title page, with plenty of time to go higher.

I wasn't surprised to see this page go higher. Some of the pluses on this page as I see them: - There aren't any images of Jesse on the page but his presence can certainly be felt. - Title page from early on in the series and from one of the best arcs of the series - The other title page was more comedic, and some people like that aspect. But this page encapsulates everything that was horrible about Angelville. The buyer got a nice page, but it wasn't me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Sid Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 It also definitely qualifies as a 'memorable moment' from the storyline, which (as Michael pointed out) most people consider to be the best.* *Not me… I like the sex party storyline that followed. Preacher comedy trumps Preacher horror for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a little comedy and Jesse for $200 cheaper. Nice page nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a little comedy and Jesse for $200 cheaper. Nice page nonetheless. There's no question in my mind that the last title page was more desirable, from a market standpoint. We all knew it sold "cheap" then and this sale only reinforces that. While this page may have elements that appeal to the hardcore fan, I can't imagine it's anyone's idea of a standalone representative piece. Meaning, anyone who wants an example for their collection, is like going to want a more obvious one (i.e. one with a main character). Not only are there no images of Jesse on this page (his presence being felt notwithstanding), there's no Cassidy, there's no Tulip, there's no SoA, etc. This title splash is fine as a complementary example, though, and perhaps the top bidders already had other pages. Mister NSN...value aside, which one would you pick if they were presented side-by-side and you had no other examples? This is similar to the pirate pages from WATCHMEN. Some of them are quite key and have writing better than a random page with a costume...but the costume pages will always have more demand. If a pirate page sold for more than a costume page, I'd be equally surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
