Comic Art Fans Update 271

Thursday, January 8, 2026

We run down all the popular artworks posted to CAF between December 29-January 4, 2026, 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. This week we have a pair of KISS (the band!) pencil sketches by John Romita Jr, a Moon Knight #13 page with Daredevil by Bill Sienkiewicz, a painted Marvels #2 page by Alex Ross, a San Diego Comic Con fold-in illustration by Al Jaffee, a page from Y: the Last Man #49 by Pia Guerra, a theater playbill cover by George Perez from Arsenic and Old Lace, a page from Amazing Spider-Man #26 by Stuart Immonen, a Chris Sprouse and Karl Story Tom Strong #17 page, this Avengers #58 variant cover by OAX Artist E.M. Gist, and finally this Azrael: Agent of the Bat #62 page by Roger Robinson. As usual, something for everyone's taste in this weekly Heritage auction!
