exitmusicblue Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) I should say, it'd be a personal grail as someone who collected Harvey PCH. GA OA can go for underwhelming prices. This one's a bit tough for me to gauge... competing factors. Not superhero stuff, Lee Elias on his own is respected but not legend, Misfits have their cult following which likely dwindles by the year. i.e. could be a great time to auction.

sfilosa Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 There are definitely a few Harvey covers I wish I had bought over the past few months. I collected some of the comics many years ago and the covers are going for $5-6k (and some are pretty interesting). Challenge is that the prices haven't really gone up much over the past few years (maybe because of decent supply), so never felt to need to get one now. Need to find just one that I really, really like and add that to my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never see this cover, or given a moment's thought to "Harvey PCH" or "Warren Kremer," and I've never listened to that band or seen their album cover, but when I saw the prelim cover for this come up for auction years ago I bid several times what the conventional wisdom said you should pay for any prelim by a top artist featuring a top hero. I couldn't believe I didn't get it, but what happened was that someone (maybe several people) realized, even better than I did, that it was a really creative and evocative piece, regardless of whether you liked comics or had ever hear of any of the people, bands or publications involved. exitmusicblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo M Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Now there is a piece one can fall in love with even having ZERO context. Will be interesting to see how it fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) it does beg the question of what drink do you imbibe out of a stubby goblet that is... pale and vaguely reddish? The mind goes to wine but the glass would be an odd shape at least today for wine, unless 50s glasses looked like that? And the color doesn't suggest wine exactly either. So what is our buddy the skeleton drinking and out of what kind of glass? Realistically I think Elias just made it a wide, stubby glass so that it wouldn't distract from other parts of the cover and would allow a perfect shaped window into the skeleton behind the skin... but now that I've had my attention drawn to that I keep coming back to it.

Bronty Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 should be a little browner then no? Not to mention the skeleton can really hold his booze if he's drinking glasses of the hard stuff that size. You might say the booze goes right through him. Rimshot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 While we are at it part deux, if we can see her skeleton through the glass, why do we still see her hair? Shouldn't we be seeing only skull? Something about this cover bugged me just a tad. As I'm talking it out I guess its these various inconsistencies. You expect some of this in GA art but it still makes me pause.
