kbmcvay Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Show us your grail piece (the one piece you want above all others and will never own for whatever reason). Mine is the Alan Davis Fall of the Mutants Poster Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panelfan1 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Spidey is by far my favourite superhero. There are tons of awesome covers in his many runs - but ASM 101 is my all time favorite cover. Reason? I LOVE the 6 arm spider-man. As a fan of old time monster movies - Morbius is a supper cool character to face off against our friendly neighbourhood hero.

gumbydarnit Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 My Grail is in the gallery of Tom Coker... who has an outrageous collection and is a super nice guy as well! My favorite piece, from my favorite storyline, by my favorite artists John Byrne and Terry Austin!!!

Pete Marino Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) Not comic art, so i hope it's ok if i cheat =) Rifts main book cover, by Keith Parkinson. Currently hanging over the CEO's desk. Pretty much, never going anywhere. (plus i'm pretty sure my wife wouldn't let me hang it in the livingroom) Edited November 2, 2017 by Pete Marino Squeezy McSphincter and BCarter27 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eewwnuk Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 cover to my first book. its whereabouts are unknown. its a throw-away issue so if it ever shows up I'm probably the only buyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hekla Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Comic grail would be the cover to the Marvel Special Edition Empire Strikes Back. It was my understanding it sold on ebay a number of years ago (Before I got in the hobby). I read that book to shreds as a kid. The Byrne X-men 137 DPS Great Escape posted earlier in the thread would be high on my list too... The first X-men I purchased off the rack and it blew me away.

BCarter27 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 For comics, I don't think I could narrow to one. Maybe 2-3. One per a handful of artists. For illustration, maybe Barry Smith's Icarus, but I think this Wrightson wins by a... nose? comicfanboy007, ender and Ricksneatstuff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Machismo Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 HUSH heroes gatefold or Killing Joke cover, I think. JL probably owns those, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstojano Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) I'd love to get the cover and splash to the Conan the Barbarian movie adaptation, the cover being the piece that got me into collecting comic art to begin with. The splash sold several times on Heritage and I did make an offer on it through them (and actually got a response, which was nice). Cannot believe the whole book sold for so cheaply originally. PS: yes I have low standards for grails in this hobby. But these are realistic grails for me not pie in the sky Frazetta covers.

buttock Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 At this point, probably one of Zeck's 10 Nights of the Beast covers from Batman 417-420. I think I know where 2, maybe 3 are, but their prices are not within the realm of reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESeffinga Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I don't think I have a Gail (the one piece), I have a whole list of pieces that I'm probably have a stroke if I could bring them home though. Just a couple more recent quickies off the top of my head: I'd love to pry this away from Albert, for instance. Not gonna happen, but...http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=590613 or this piece from Arnie and Kathy...http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=904753 I'd take JL's Jeff Jones Wonder Woman cover in heartbeat. Or that Wrightson Lab image above. I could go on and on, and I don't put any one of these above the others, they all just stun me in different ways. mister_not_so_nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
