Michael Browning Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 One other very glaring thing I noticed about this auction: No Frank Miller art and no Paul Smith Uncanny X-Men. This is becoming normal for big auctions now, so it shouldn’t surprise me, but I guess it just shocks that very few of the auction houses are getting pages and covers by these two artists when they are selling very high everytime one pops up.

He sure has some fans for his art to sell so high, but I'm not one of them and probably never will be. Can someone explain to me his art's appeal? It has a different look. Some people equate different with good. I think it's okay, but that's all. Perhaps better suited for parody or a comedy strip. That's a general problem I have when evaluating art by different artists. The style should be evaluated against the "pitch" of the story. Kirby using his typical style on Peanuts wouldn't work.

I absolutely love his stuff, especially the Wizard of Oz material. I like it because it looks like what I would consider as the top children's book artwork.
