Published Art: Show off your oldest piece and the one you've owned the longest

12 posts in this topic

So this topic should be 2 pieces max per poster. I'm sure there are people out there where one page will cover both criteria.

My oldest published piece is this John Buscema page from Thor 216 (1973)

The piece I have owned the longest is this Phil Jimenez Wonder Woman page from 174 (2001), which I bought new. This is about the fourth page I ever bought and the earlier pages have since been traded.

The first piece that started me collecting I unfortunately trade many years ago. The piece I have owned the longest is the first piece of comic art I purchased which is X-Men #160 by Brent Anderson and Bob Wiacek.

 

 

My oldest piece is about 100 years old.

Jael -Sunday Newspaper Supplement in New York World by Dan Smith
I think this was published in New York World sometime around 1920. His originals are rare and this is on of the best I have seen and BIG this one is 22x28.

Oldest held published page/cover
Intended for Sensation 83 in 1948, it wasn't printed until Amazing World of DC Comics 2 in 1974. This one of the tiers saved by Marv Wolfman decades ago. Click the image to learn more.

Yup, one of the pieces that I love but has zero nostalgia. Its hanging in my living room. I recommend people do some goggling and CAF on Dan Smith. He was a great artist, very little of his originals still exist.
