Description

Here's where it all began for me as an original art collector. I used to have a subscription to the weekly Comics Buyers Guide, which was FULL of ads for art and comics for sale. I was barely in senior high school when I bought this page for the princely sum of 17 dollars. I still have the issue of CBG and I can still look at the ad, some forty years later. I think I did okay with my choice, looking at the other pages for sale in the ad, but...damn...wish I would have bought a whole lot more with my lawn-mowing money back in those days! I'll drop a detail of the page in additional images, along with the original ad, and a few more ads from the same issue, so we can all cry about how cheap pages used to be!

This page has all the powerful acrobatics and twisting to represent the mind thinking about the possibilities of what art could have been bought. Just like the page reaches a conclusion to the story with the promise of the next issue, there is always another day for us to keep collecting and keep daydreaming.

What a page! It's amazing Colan could cram so much fluid action in each of these *10* panels. Thanks for posting these ads! What year was this issue of CBG?

I think it was way back in 1981!

Makes sense. With early Miller DD pages selling for $45, my time machine is going to pay for itself many times over!
