So we're talking the size of a postcard here, roughly the size of an actual paperback book's cover...AND LOOK HOW MUCH BEAUTY AND ENERGY HE GOT IN THERE!!! Fantastic piece, made moreso as I picture those dimensions. When did you acquire these, and thanks for sharing!

Wow, very nice, more than good enough to be a cover to a Jedi book of some sort. Beautiful piece by Wagner, congrats!

While it may or may not actually be by Buckler, way to go Will K for the Adams comment...BWAH-HA-HA! Very funny, I get that. And congrats on acquiring that piece of your childhood, that's what makes a lot of this stuff so special, good for you Joseph!

Leia's face and body have a very Dave Stevens-ish (Stevenesque? whatever...) quality to them, which is obviously a compliment. Terrific job, might consider getting something from him myself. Maybe if I can get to Super-Con in 2010?!?

You know, I like this one better, seems to have more of that "outer space" feel to it. And I've never seen Alan Davis pull off such a good Neal Adams!

Very beautiful. I'm sure the shading looks much better in person, but it comes across quite well in the scan. Each of the apes seems to have personality as well, helped by the subtle shading on the faces. Fantastic, thanks for sharing!

Pretty cool! Love the Harry Potter books! What Byrne piece is this 'sorta' based on? And am I seeing things, or in that portrait of Dormammu, is he...smoking?!? Bwah-ha-ha-ha!!!

Gumby#1 pg 7 -Art Adams
Owner: Peter Fisico

Comment posted on 5/7/2009
Very cool! While Gumby pages are not my favorite by Adams (too many simple shapes, not enough to fully utilize his drawing talent, IMHO), he does manage to get across that complete sense of pure fun. Adams imbues his "regular/serious" comics work with amusement anyway, so when he's given characters rooted in silliness, watch out! Terrific pick-up, congrats!

Adams, Arthur - Longshot 3 Pg 21, Comic Art
Adams, Arthur - Longshot 3 Pg 21
Owner: Ken Fries

Comment posted on 5/1/2009
It is hard to see, because it's in pencil only, but on the bottom, below the middle panel, just under the whiteout, Adams has written "More pizza", with an arrow pointing each way, towards small stains that he circled in pencil, and then slightly off to the right he also put, in parenthesis, "Ugh." Due to the fact that it says MORE pizza, I'm guessing there are some pages from earlier in the series that may have similar personal touches from the 'hand' of Mr. Adams. Any other Longshot page owners notice this?

I have one of these, but you may have the best possible page of the whole story! Leonardi always did a great Colossus, and Russell was an excellent choice as an inker for him. Congrats, thanks for sharing!

Frank Miller Daredevil Cover (1982)
Owner: Tom Coker

Comment posted on 4/24/2009
The Comics Journal this was the cover to has one of the best interviews I've ever read. The cover was a perfect complement to the interview, Eisner-esque, pre-dating Sin City (as previously mentioned), and a truly brilliant overuse of lighting to achieve a more impressionable image. Had him sign my Comics Journal years ago, just because I loved it so much. Looks even better without the cover copy. Thanks for sharing, and congrats!

You have to be kidding! Probably the single greatest Bolland image ever! Congrats on getting it (TWICE?!?), truly stunning piece! One of my favorite Bolland stories, made a tremendous impression on me in my younger days. I'd let you buy it back if you ever wanted to acquire it a third time...

Aside from the Cosmic Odyssey series itself, did he ever draw this any other time?!? And check out the vintage 'loopy' signature! Great piece!

Very nice! You beat me to it; had I been able to go to Seattle this year, this is what I would've gotten! I love how even in a con sketch, Smitty still takes the time to draw in every line in Colossus' armored body...great pick-up!

Owner: aric shapiro

Comment posted on 4/1/2009
Golden and Steve Rude are 2 masters at creating forms and shapes merely with light and shadow, not merely drawing something with black lines around it to delineate it. This is a beautiful example of it, and getting across the Joker's manic/psychotic personality to boot makes for an amazing commission. Congrats!

The page is beautiful, but it makes me think; what will need more of an explanation soon, that phones had cords, or that comics used to be drawn on paper with pencil?!?

An arm and a leg to get a Wrightson Frankenstein...I get that...and I love the detail on the bridge in the last panel, showing where his work would be heading soon. Fantastic pick-up, congrats!

A true stunner. The half-dozen or so covers he did for Detective at that time are some of the most amazing pieces ever done for comics. Congrats on getting a 'modest' piece to fill your Golden gap!. ;)

Happy Birthday indeed! Brilliantly beautiful piece, excellent use of negative space, as you mentioned! Never really cared about Black Panther one way or the other, but it's about the amazing Golden artwork! Wonderful pick-up, congrats!

What I would have asked for, too! Let's see, I went to NYCC in 2007 and 2008, Kevin went in 2006 and 2009. I'm going in 2010. Any bets on Kevin?

This is really fantastic, and a perfect choice for someone with Simonson'a ability to convey power in a drawing. OK, gotta know, how is Walter your good friend (and gifting you with things like...well, like this!?!)?

Filled with power and energy, another artist who doesn't really understand the meaning of "prelim" (and that's a good thing!). Wonderful collection Rob!

Comment posted on 1/30/2009
Maybe the first Frank Miller comic I bought off the stands (I passed on Dark Knight 1 at the time...$2.95 was my whole week's allowance!!), so this particular page has special meaning for me. And Mazzucchelli was really at the top of his game by here. Even within the course of this Miller storyline, Mazzucchelli's art progressed and improved (compare 227 to 233). Beautiful piece!

This is the quintessential Bolland Dredd piece...grim puss, raised, smoking gun, eagle on the shoulder, all incredibly finely detailed..."prelim"...he really doesn't know what that means, does he? Amazing piece!

Daredevil#183 Unused page-Frank Miller
Owner: Peter Fisico

Comment posted on 1/28/2009
This was probably supposed to be the last page to Daredevil 166, when 167 was supposed to be the Angel Dust issue (which Marvel put the kibosh on for fear of not passing the Comics Code). Look at the difference in style to 183, which was roughly a year-and-a-half later. Fantastic piece on many levels, including historical importance in Miller's career! Where did you find this gem?!? Congrats!

Stunning piece...these Conan Saga covers were my intro to BWS Conan, very fond memories of those covers, and the B&W version shows off even more incredible detail and linework. Congrats on a fantastic piece, thanks for sharing!

Comment posted on 1/7/2009
I see you changed your title for it, but I'll ask anyway...why does the cover logo say 200 when this was the cover to 212? Regardless, amazing, fantastic piece, BWS in his prime (at least as far as comic book work goes), and the cover to 205 would be incredible, too!
