Like others have said, it's tough to pick one favorite.  While there are other pieces that have a little more nostalgic value to me, I'd have to say from a purely aesthetic point of view this one would be my favorite:

It's four connecting covers by Ryan Sook for Valiant's 4001 A.D. miniseries.  Of all the pieces I have up on the wall, it's definitely the one that most jumps out at you.

As for my grail, I think I'll pick one that's at least in the realm of possibility for me to acquire at some point.  Some of the first comics I remember reading are the Secret Wars books back in the 4th grade.  This Zeck cover for #10 really stands out in my memory, so it's one I'd love to have someday.  Might have to save up a bit first though.

 My Holy Grail without question, is certainly the original Shadow Pulp oil painting of “The Creeping Death” (Circa. - Jan. 15, 1933), by George Rozen.

21” x 30” oil on canvas!

2)  Second of my holy grails is from another Shadow pulp “The Third Skull’ (circa. 1935)

The Third and Fourth of my grails are a couple of the very few Shadow pulp interior illustrations known to exist:

 

The first one displays great brushwork used by the great artist:  Edd Cartier (circa. 1937).

11” x 16”

The second was by the famous artist/painter Tom Lovell (circa. 1936, from the Partners of Peril, significant as it was the story that was used/swiped for the Batman story in Detective 27).

12” x 17”

That shadow cover is 1000% amazing. One of the top pieces of art in my opinion.
