If they were the final image, I would have expected them to go 3x of those prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick O. Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Thanks for pointing it out @GotSuperPowers?, I reread the descriptions and they appear to be prelims! Their €1k hammer prices are closer to published cover prices than prelims though: http://www.splashpageart.com/ArtistGalleryTitleDetails.asp?ArtistId=85&Mag=Hellblazer+Cover+Prelim&From=Title http://www.splashpageart.com/ArtistGalleryTitleDetails.asp?ArtistId=85&Mag=Hellblazer&From=Title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) thanks D i c k, enjoyed the article. Never really paid much attention to Grindberg or Williams so they were cool to see and appreciate and do seem like nice buys, the savage dragon/tmnt page as well. OTOH, I know Charest went on to do other things... but that Flash page is everything wrong with 90s comic art.

Would like to add a few tidbits of information to share with your audience: 1. The Miller MTU 99 cover that sold on CC for $15.2K, which you indicate is a good deal. I can't say one way or another if it was a good deal, but I do know that is sold less than two years prior for $10.6K on ComicLink. Also, at some time between the ComicLink sale and the CC sale, somebody added a few new paste-up blurbs to the cover. Additionally, likes like another signature was added at the bottom centre of the OA, and I believe that's Denny O'Neil's signature. I've got a scan of the cover as it appeared on the ComicLink auction and hopefully, I was able to upload it correctly for comparison's sake. 2. The Stephen Yarish article was great and I thoroughly enjoy reading how collectors got their start in this hobby. As an unabashed Keown Hulk fan, I especially liked reading Stephen's note about how he happened to be in the right place at the right time to get the Hulk 390 splash (Hulk with bunny slippers). He knew going in that he was going to be outbid, yet he ended up winning the splash. At the time of the ebay auction for the splash, I was spending money like a drunken sailor on Keown Hulk art and could have easily won the splash, but Stephen and I had nice email exchange and I decided to back down from bidding on the piece. Stephen's been a great curator for the piece and I've really enjoyed seeing his Hulk collection grow over the years. Looking forward to your next article!

DJRome Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Fun blog post. I think it's a great idea to toss up some reviews of the lesser publicized auction results. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twanj Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Quote Interest in the Defenders (this original version not the Netflix one) could soon rise, as it appears an MCU incarnation of the team will feature in Thor: Ragnarok (replacing Namor with Thor)! Wait, is the Surfer making an appearance?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick O. Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Thanks for the encouragement @DJRome! @Twanj - The original Defenders comprised of Strange, Hulk & Namor; Surfer joined the team several issues later in Defenders #2. Would be fantastic if Disney managed to wrangle Surfer/Galactus back from Fox though! MONSTER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unca Ben Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Great stuff! One thing, a nitpick, perhaps... In your Jim Starlin article you mention the cosmic deities created by Jack and/or Stan, including Eternity. Eternity was introduced in Strange Tales when Ditko was drawing and plotting the Dr. Strange serial with little, if any, input from Stan. They were not even on speaking terms at that point. Book credits may say one thing, but it's likely Eternity was purely a Steve Ditko creation. Edited May 1, 2017 by Unca Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
