PhilipB2k17 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Second ever appearance of Deathlok. Except....the image is 100% Stat. It's the key original published interior page, from a key bronze age book. But, it's a stat. How much do you think that matters? The page is certainly priced to sell (with a companion OA page from AT #35). But, what do you all think?

MagnusX Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 The seller is honest an open about the page; He set a price, so I don't see a problem with this particular listing... Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timely Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 To me, 95% of the value in this auction is the OA page from #35. A published 100% stat has almost no value to me. Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voord Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 The seller is being totally up-front with the listing, so nothing misleading for would-be buyers. Would probably work well matted and framed as a pair and if you're a fan of Deathlock, this seems like a good offering (no idea about FMV as I don't follow this type of thing).

ESeffinga Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Not for nothing, but what's he (not) aiming at? That's one of those weird drawing errors that'd bug me to no end and cause me to not buy it, even if I was incredibly interested in the page.

I didn't mean to imply that the seller was anything bit 100% honest about it being a Stat. I was just wondering what people thought about its value, considering that it's the second published appearance of Deathlok (after the Cover). Does the fact that it's apparently 100% a Stat matter to you? If so, how much does it effect its desirability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comiconxion Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I'm a huge Deathlok fan and if it wasn't a stat, I'd figure out a way to afford it if the original art were for sale (I'd assume it'll sell for $10-12k). Being a stat, I have no interest in it unfortunately. Not much Deathlok out there for whatever reason and many of the covers are unaccounted for as well.

Apples and oranges. It should matter to 100% everybody (unless you're a multimillionaire and have money you want to burn) as there would be a huge difference in price and desirability for a stat as opposed to original art (the art would be the more desirable one). Well, in this case that’s the actual published page. The “original” must be gone. Otherwise they wouldn’t have used a Stat at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of the original appearances in Astonishing Tales, the Zeck/Beatty issues from Cap #286-288, and the Michael Golden Marvel Fanfare #4 story. The only piece I loved from that mini-series was the Jusko cover to issue #1, although the Guice/Williams art from issue #1 of the mini-series was pretty slick. The Cowan stuff did nothing for me unfortunately. But agree, for people that are fans of his art, that's a nice example from the mini-series.

They likely adjusted the size of the Deathlok image to make it fit the way they wanted. Otherwise, they would have just pasted the panels over the original art.

I told Gene in another thread that I wasn’t a fan of the McFarlane cover to ASM #299 (that he owns). That’s pretty much heresy on these boards. But I’m not much of a Mcfarlane fan. And that cover doesn’t appeal to me. Edited October 17, 2017 by PhilipB2k17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
