Now that is something quite special.  

DaVinci indeed!  Kane prelims such as these are a sight to behold!  I can’t help but think that one day treasures like these will be cherished as much as the finished product.  Long live KANE!!!

Wow Steve this is a home run!  Classic!!!

Quite the stunner!

Reminds me of the Eraserhead monstrosity all grown up!  Delightful!

What an exquisite collection!  Love this wonderful piece as well.

Now THIS is the GOOD stuff!  Slack jawed!

Have always adored Toth’s Hanna Barbara layouts.  Brilliant color too.

This has to be one of the most intricate Al Williamson pieces I’ve ever seen.  Top notch stuff! Congrats!

Man this reminds me so much of “the THING” prequel prelim material he brought to a few of the shows around the same time.  Outstanding piece!  You knew how fortunate you were to stand beside such legendary soul yet Bernie never came across as such.  I can’t remember him ever once without his kind, gentle smile when I was around his table.  His last year appearance at Heroes I took the time to tell him how much of an impact he had made on me.  I let him know that he would always be in the upper echelon with his idol, Frazetta and how much of an America icon he would always be.  The world is a better place because of Wrightson.

Fritz pulls no punches - nice!

THIS is truly AMAZING!  Top notch stuff!

Love, Love, Love the early western pages from the 30s, 40s and 50s - this is fantastic!

Gorgeous piece - wow!

All of these covers were gorgeous!  Such a perfect illustrator for this wonderful series.  How many days did I run home from elementary school to see it on the tele.  Sweet!

Huge Rog-2000 fan myself as well.  What a great BYRNE character.  Love it.

This is so awesome!  It reminds me of his earlier style during charlton’s DOOMSDAY +1 series.  What a rare find!

I was in eighth grade when this book came out and it’s always been one of my favorites - congrats.

Such a gorgeous character.  Nice!

This was the same year I met him at Foundation’s Edge on Hillsborough street in Raleigh but I didnt score a sketch.  Wow - such a powerful rendering.

I wonder if this was around the same time as the animated Godzilla series?  Such an amazing page.

Anything that Al and Frank touched is PURE GOLD!  Nice acquisition, welcome to the club ;)

Sanjulian gets better and better!  This is breath-taking!  All of the main ingredients!

Stellar page there!  One of the coolest series to hit the 90’s that should have been huge.  Boyer is so multi-talented.  Loved his stories and line work.

Welcome to the ROOT club J.B. - what a gorgeous page you have there! 

John said he rendered this all from memory - the guy was brilliant!

Geez what a time capsule.  It makes miss wish I could have seen a whole issue done early on without inks!  Palmer was always a class act but nothing could contain the power of Gene!

Pure BYRNE magic ;)

Gil Kane monster transformation - It’s tops in my book!  What a brilliant example from a true master.  Congrats.

Such a classic!

I love these old editorial cartoons, such gorgeous line work and waaaaaaay better than today’s clip art.  Congrats.

A real stunner!

I just love this piece.  

I can see him breathing from here - quite a stunner you have there.  Sanjulian is one of the last living legends.

Wow what a stellar Byrne example! This issue is actually sitting on my dresser at the moment and I was just peering over the gorgeous pages last night.  Brilliant stuff.

I love the movement of this piece!  Great example!

I adored these characters growing up in the seventies and still do!

Now THIS is the cool stuff!  What a cover by one of the masters.  Congrats!

What a gorgeous piece Drake.  Never seen this before - thanks for sharing.

I only discovered this post today which now makes me wonder if my wife didn’t purchase it either directly from Gene or his estate off of eBay?  I’m guessing it was still in his personal collection when Colan was at Heroes 2005.  There isn’t a day that goes by without me taking the time to appreciate this masterpiece upon my studio wall.  The delicate inks are a wonder to behold.

This is one of my favorites.  Simply brilliant work!  

Frazetta’s signature was a work of art in itself.  Congrats!

What an wonderfully exquisite piece!  I have never seen this side of Trimpe.  I must say it is quite a treasure and hands down my favorite!  Amazing. Congrats!

What an amazing collection of Ruth pieces. Back when he was doing “Scary Tales To give You The Creeps”  he was still working at Taco Bell.  He should have been quickly hired by one of the big houses, the guy was simply brilliant.  Had a real Jeffery Jones flair. Such a nice guy to boot.

Thanks for the kind words Matthew but you win hands down with this stellar piece.   Exquisite.

Love your style - nice piece.

Sweet little behind the scenes pieces Matthew.  It kind has a Jeffery Jones flair.  Love it!

Love the origin recap- wow!  Adams is brilliant.

Miles - I wondered how this piece stuck around so long - its classic!  Adams at his best (...well maybe this and his Creature from the black lagoon stint). Hee Hee.  Welcome to the club. Well done.

I can't imagine visiting the household but hats off to ya - that is certainly amazing!  Jack and Roz were larger than life.
