Help me figure out what I have, original comic art
1 1

7 posts in this topic

Hello. I have some original comic book art I obtained when I was a kid from Mick Gray. Had it stored away for a few years and just recently found it. What exactly do I have and what would the value be. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Dillon

"Defenders of Dynatron City" was a Nintendo game from the early 1990s. Marvel did six issues of a comic book adaptation of it, so I imagine the two pages marked with that name were from that series.

I'm going to guess that the third page marked "Scarlet Witch Limited Series" is from the 1994 miniseries featuring that character. Seems to be from the third issue--Agatha Harkness, who's the main figure shown in your page, appeared in that series and issue.

Wouldn't presume to make a guess as to value, except to say that as a media property Defenders of Dynatron City is pretty obscure (as an understatement.) Scarlet Witch is, obviously a more popular character, but your page doesn't feature the main character and this particular series, I think fair to say, doesn't mark the high point in Scarlet's history...

One thing I notice is that according to the Grand Comic Database, it's Mark McKenna that's credited as the inker of these comics. Various bios and interviews out there talk about how Gray worked as an assistant or background assistant to McKenna at the time. So it's a bit interesting to have these pages signed by him, even if the inker "of record" was someone else, but, again, wouldn't presume to think how that might affect value.

ATKokmen, thanks for the in depth response. I got the art work directly from Mick Gray at a little comic shop he was doing an appearance at. He had a whole bunch of binders of his art with various pages. I picked these. Any idea as to where I can find a value? Thanks again

There is a page of Defenders of Dynatron City on eBay at $139 (and obviously it's not sold): https://www.ebay.com/itm/142881680896

Another one sold on ComicLink for $31 this year in June: http://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?id=1256096

Regarding the Scarlet Witch page, a page from issue #4 is available on the current ComicConnect auction: https://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=753103

You may want to use ComicArtTracker to compare your pages with what is available on dealers / auction houses websites: http://comicarttracker.com:)

Heh. Obviously an OA Newbie. 

The Dynatron pages are probably less than $50 a piece. How much less? It seems like a page has been sitting on eBay at $31. So....

The Scarlet Witch Page is probably under $100.
