We run down all the popular artworks posted to CAF between August 1-7, 2022, and also review highlights from sales reported from original Comic Art Dealers and Auction Houses for the same periods.

Show Sponsor Heritage Auctions has several lots from their upcoming Weekly Comic Art Auction that I've selected to feature. This week I've chosen to go with picks I think would be on most everybody's want list. From 1979 there is this great Sal Buscema and Steve Leialoha Marvel Team-Up #84 page, a classic pulp inspired painted cover by Frank Brunner published in 1975 for Mavel Comics, a Jaime Hernandez Love and Rockets V2 page, a Jim Starlin and Al Milgrom Marvel Fanfare #20 page featuring The Thing (check it out, Mr Snorek!), an X-Force #2 Variant Cover featuring Wolverine and Beast by Gerardo Zaffino, a page with plenty of action from Hulk #393 by Keown and Farmer, a variant cover to House of X from 2019 by Declan Shalvey, a gorgeous Black Cat #24 title page by Lee Elias from 1950, a pair of consecutive pages from early in Tim Sale's career from Thieves' World, and finally the cover to Teen Titans #16 by Mike McKone! Certainly a little bit for everyone's taste in this week's upcoming Heritage auction!
