Plus he's small and in the background. Edited November 18, 2017 by TeddieMercede batman_fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we will see the usual suspects raising the price of their Peanut artwork if these guys would just not instantly jack things up due to one auction result i think they would do so much better!

My guess was only that it would be someone who is new to comic art or doesn't collect at all. It makes it harder to explain when you need two someones of a like mind to get these results.

Hopefully everyone showed up with a copy of their Mike Zeck Artists Edition or Raw Fury exhibit book to facilitate the riot that I'm sure ensued. If you give me more notice next time, I'm happy to organize another exhibit of Zeck's best art and maybe even convince Mike to show up so he can tell stories of how he sold all his covers for $40-50 back in the 80's! Apologies to anyone who I inadvertently angered by collecting Zeck's art. If only Mike weren't such a nice guy as well as great artist! As Michael mentions... there still is more Zeck art out there. I don't have it all and I've tried my best to part with some pieces over the last few years (I don't want to be a complete hoarder). On a serious note though, I'm actually really glad we got an opportunity to display all 6 of the Kraven covers when they were together at the Cartoon Art Museum in SF back in 2014 and include them in the Zeck Artists Edition. Now, at least collectors can appreciate the art in all its glory. Congratulations to Heritage on getting such an Zeck historic piece to auction. And, congratulations to whoever the lucky winner will be! So it has already been stated that the TMNT 1 book sold for 250k. How much did the KLH series of 6 books sell for?

Keep it to the usual two days, nice and simple. If someone can't or won't read information that's prominently posted in the website and in the catalog, well, tough.

That's a record for a daily, and it's not even close. There's not even that many Sundays (by any artist) that have broken $100k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktom Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Congrats on the Herriman daily! Great price for a really nice example. I guarantee you'll be even more pleased with it after seeing it in person. Krazy Kats are far more impressive in person than most other originals. --Mark T Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideshow Bob Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Thoughts on Kraven/Zeck cover? Thought there was a high likelihood of two people going toe-to-toe on it, final price was $33k, which was a bit over what I thought the final would be. Does this price nudge the rest of the covers to auction, or reinforce that they should stay where there are? Also, that the Wrightson HOM #225 splash that went for $15k....didn't that go through Comiclink not too long ago? Anyone recall the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention fees and postage from and to Heritage and possibly sales tax the first time or duty etc. Lucky if he recouped 40% and could be 1/3.

True Batman was more present with Robin on Batman 222. Also The Salomon Grundy cover with him holding up a tiny Batman sold A few months ago at clink for 47k. That was Justice league America 92. Im curious what a Batman 232 with a tiny batman and robin but A hughe Rhas Al Ghul would do!! 250k i would say. First appearance and cover for Major vilain and Batman title. Maybe even close to the 450k of the Green lantern 76 from Neal Adams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
