Dick O. Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Really pleased to see Michael Lark in your list, he's a definite favorite of mine, he's a great visual storyteller. Yes there are so many deserving artists who merit discussion; just doing my best to throw them out there! Another great article. Ever consider making these as youtube videos? Thanks! Since one of the goals of this column is to educate would-be and existing collectors, in the interest of ease of reference, I think prose is preferable to video. There's definitely scope to expand to youtube down the road though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malvin Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I like your passion and how you regularly update. I thought you would run out of material but it's going strong. Nothing keeps things going than constant new articles. Malvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocker. I wish you'd contain your articles to pieces costing $10,000 or more. I'd hate for people to think they can enter the hobby.

vodou Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 mr nsn! There is plenty of $200ish recent/new art out there, not only that I just saw a Comico Robotech cover go for $200 last night. Not everyone's cuppa but geez man, 30yrs old, decent property, a very nice deal for those that want that stuff (I did, but got tied up and forgot to snipe, so to whomever...ENJOY IT!!)

SquareChaos Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Some of those pieces went for amazing prices, I was actually surprised, especially with that half-splash SSM piece by Buscema. I personally picked up a sub-$100 (shipped) Manhattan Projects piece by Ryan Browne that I'm very happy to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick O. Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Thanks for your support all @malvin - There's an infinite supply of material, my main constraint is time! @mister_not_so_nice - I'm overjoyed to receive comments like the one below from non-collectors who become less intimidated by OA when they find out there's plenty of affordable art out there http://comicbookinvest.com/2017/02/17/market-report-february-2017-comiclink-focused-auction/#comment-13790 @SquareChaos - Yes, certain segments of the market seem soft lately. The current HA and CLink auctions should prove illuminating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I got into OA as well. I got my first page for $130. At the time the book it was published in was $30-$40 book. It's hard for me to justify spending enough on a few comics as it would cost for a page of ORIGINAL art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
