The MVP of your collection (with respect to objective value) 0

[stinkininkin]

Probably 1-Frank Miller and 2-Neal Adams.  But I'm too lazy to sit down and actually do the math, so the designation order might be interchangeable.

[AnkurJ]

Romita Sr for both

A couple ways of looking at this:

(1) On which artist have you spent the most money to date?

(2) In your collection, which artist's works have the most combined value (when assessed objectively)?

 

My answer for both is Frank Frazetta, and second place ain't close...

1. Geoff Shaw (Pretty sure)

2. Sal Buscema

[Twanj]

Ron Lim

for both. And looking for more.

[jjonahjameson11]

1.  I’ve spent the most on John Romita Jr art

2. Objectively, I think the most FMV is with my Keown collection 

[Will_K]

Nick Cardy.  No surprise.

Boris of course.

 

We all know it is John Buscema

[zhamlau]

1. Russ Manning...it’s not even close

2. Russ Manning still

[drdroom]

Kirby/Kirby by far.

When I saw the topic heading I assumed the question would be more like What artist in your collection has the best ratio of purchase price to current or realized value? For me, that's probably Caniff, due to one particularly good deal (which I have since converted into slower-appreciating Kirby)

After the last two years of the eBay drip release of so many Don Newton Batman/Detective pages (just ended, thank God!), its going to be Don Newton for me.

That source has confirmed itself to be dry? Wow. I never thought it would be two years worth. Got mine quite early, the rare steal of them, and moved on with my life

[dichotomy]

1. Gibbons

2. Quitely

My collection isn’t that old or deep yet, and I like Watchmen so...

Quitely I have a couple pieces including a full painting. 

Statistically I’m probably slightly younger than others here. 

Mignola is running a close third, and may overtake.

As a rule, I don't want a lot of examples by the same artist though I will buy multiples for various reason, e.g., different characters.

 

(1) On which artist have you spent the most money to date?

Yale Stewart - That's driven by a single commission that is the most expensive piece in my collection.

H.G. Peter - if you are looking for published pieces

 

(2) In your collection, which artist's works have the most combined value (when assessed objectively)?

So many of mine are commissions (sell at 50 cents on the dollar), it's really hard to say, but if I had to guess, I'd saw the Curt Swan pieces are the most valuable as a group (2 commissions - Superman & LSH - and 2 published pages (LSH). Again, this is biased because I have so few per artist - an average of just under 1.5 per artist.

 

(3) In your collection, which artist's works are the most common?

As mentioned, I average just under 1.5 pieces per artist.

Yale Stewart - 9 pieces followed by Joe Eisma and Thom Zahler with 5 each, Curt Swan, Nick Pitarra, and Terry Moore with 4 each.

This is just my collection, if I were to throw in my wife's and my daughters', Katie Cook with have the most pieces of art (27). Those mini-paintings are addictive!

Why are you calling yourself Batman fan when, really, you're Peanuts Guy?  

[kbmcvay]

Even though I have sold off a bunch/traded George Perez artwork, he still holds the top spot in both areas (barely). Jim Lee and Alan Davis come awfully close, though (in fewer pieces for each).

[grapeape]

1) Jack Kirby

2) Steve Ditko

I am definitely a huge Batman fan and still have from issue 1 to around 620.  Romitaman has referred to me as "Mr Peanut" so maybe a name change is in order

Quietly is marvelous. His Batman and Robin will always be my favorite.

Gibbons....of course.
