Comic Art Fans Update 225

Thursday, January 2, 2025

We run down all the popular artworks posted to CAF between December 23-29, 2024, and also review highlights from sales reported from original Comic Art Dealers and Auction Houses for the same periods.

I've selected 10 auction lots this week from show sponsor Heritage Auctions current Weekly Comic Art Auction that I've chosen to feature. There is a throwback Neal Adams and Tom Palmer combo Avengers page from 2011 featuring a lot of heroes, an Alex Horley painted Lobo Unbound splash page, a Mike Grell Warlord #50 page, a Death playing guitar illustration by Gerald Parel, an Aliens page from 1990 by Sam Kieth, a Stephen Platt Wolverine Illustration, a Thor illustration by Esad Ribic, the cover to Suicide Squad #22 by Eddy Barrows, a very cool Air Pirates Funnies strip page from 1972 by Larry Todd, and lastly a pair of splash pages by Kim Deitch. Something for everyone's taste in this weekly Heritage auction!
