Vertigo Visions: Tomahawk #1, p. 54

An original page from a book that meant something to you, a memento of your youth, and paid a lot less than expected? Just perfect! And a nice one as well! :)

A romantically charged work where the superhero uses her powers of persuasion to ensnare his heart.

I've always been a big Tom Yeates fan and I've never heards of this. So had I noticed it at auction, I would've guessed based on the subject matter alone that the winner would be coming away with this for a double digit price, regardless of it being from Vertigo. You're right about Vertigo having been considered more "highbrow" than mainstream superheroes in those days, but that popularity has still always been confined to very specific titles. There is a ton of Vertigo titles whose art has little if any demand and can be had very cheaply. But that's what's great about this hobby. Even in an era of most art becoming unaffordable, there is still enough art that remains cheap as long as you're not narroly focused on the pages always having to have superheroes in action in every panel.

Agree 100%.  In fact, if all goes accordingly to plan, I'll be talking about the inexpensive art part on Sunday night.

Yeates to Yeates, superb ink wash here!

Yeates is fantastic, and this page is a great example of his skills and craftsmanship.
