This may be one of the dumbest statements I have ever read on here.
Maybe not Action 1 and Detective 27, but more art from key issues exists than what you might imagine. ;)
The Library of Congress has the complete original art to Amazing Fantasy 15, which was donated by an anonymous collector a few years back.
Many comic artists donate their work to their college to...
I'm curious: Why will they never collect The Monster Society of Evil?
These are great for reading entire runs in a cheap format and all under one cover. I love these and have a lot of them. Warlock by Starlin and Captain Marvel, also by Starlin, are my two favorites. I...
The vampires from Saga of the Swamp Thing 3 came back to haunt Swamp Thing during Moore's run. Sunderland was from Pasko's and Yeates' run. In issue 54, Moore deals with former Swamp Thing...
I have been appealing to DC officials for years to put this run into a trade paperback. It is definitely a great run, with great stories by Pasko and awesome art by Thomas Yeates, Steve Bissette and...
The Wrath of the Spectre contains some of the most brutal stories of the 1970s and some of Jim Aparo's best-ever artwork. He was at peak form on this one. There's even some fill-in inks by Ernie Chan...
The Spectre series by John Ostrander, Tom Mandrake and a few other artists, is one of the best comics of the 1990s from any publisher. I loved it. I thought Ostrander treated religion with respect,...
Here are some shipping tips:
If you are shipping hardcovers, make sure you use bubble wrap to protect the corners. It doesn't hurt to put a layer of cardboard on the back and front of the book OVER...
I wish they'd put Daredevil: Love and War and Elektra Lives Again into trade paperbacks (yes, I know Elektra was in a trade paperback, but it's extremely hard to find and expensive and needs to be...
And I'm sure there will be little pieces that I buy here and there. It seems like a really good page or cover comes up for sale about once a month, so I'm sure I'll end up buying art every now and...
I'm done for awhile, actually, because now I can breathe a sigh of relief that I don't have to raise any more cash for art that I feel like I have to get. It's like reaching the end of a race and you...
It's like an iconic shot of your favorite hero or villain in an action pose. Thanks for the compliment. I think after getting the Hulk splash, I'm done for the year. The Superboy cover was a bit...
Here's my latest pickups:
Jim Starlin and Alfredo Alcala splash page to The Incredible Hulk 222

Lee Elias Tomb of Terror 10 (1953)...
I think Supreme The Story of the Year, The Return and Judgment Day are trade paperbacks that should all occupy the same shelf as Alan Moore's Watchmen, Swamp Thing, V For Vendetta and Miracleman.
The Checker trade paperbacks aren't as bad as everyone would have you believe. I've got both and I really enjoyed them. I also bought the two in hardcover. From what I understand, there were less...
Just look up the artist on google or yahoo or whatever search engine you like and type in the words "Comic art for sale", which is how I found a lot of art early on.
There are sites like...
The Cap commission is 5.25x9-inch image on a 7x10.5-inch piece of art board. I hate to tell you, but Steranko art doesn't come up for sale that often and is very expensive. He doesn't open his...
I can appreciate the fact that it is the PUBLISHED artwork.
I own this "mechanical" cover:

It is THE published cover, featuring added...
I walked into a local comic shop to see some friends of mine and when I went to the counter to buy a few comics, and looked up and there the Creepy cover was, already framed and hanging on their...
Awesome framed art. I have a few framed pieces: the Luis Dominguez cover to Weird Western Tales 25 featuring Jonah Hex, the Carmine Infantino Flash 323 cover featuring Flash vs. Reverse Flash and the...
That Totleben Swamp Thing cover is beautiful to see in person. I love all of John's Swamp Thing covers. He really seemed inspired. I want another, but, doggone it, they are super expensive.
I think Steranko charged $400 for the small Cap pen and ink drawings, but I bought it from the guy who commissioned it, so I paid almost double that.
And thanks for the compliments! I'm quite proud...
