If the quality of the piece doesn't matter in this hobby, then what does? The other page is all about the bottom right panel. Yours is an entire Twice-up battle page.
It's a great page regardless of where it saw print. I have a great Romita Spider-Man cover... printed as Sub-Mariner #69. It's worth way less as a Sub-Mariner issue vs an Amazing Spider-Man issue but the art itself couldn't be any better!
Baller page.
Great, dynamic page! and interesting questions - you could post on CGC boards and get a thread going? On Q#3, pages in ASM do command a premium but not sure it would be substantial here. If Romita art then there would be at least one more serious buyer so price would be higher. I agree that Colan is a bit underappreciated but feels like that is changing.
Super! Love Colan's Stilt-Man!
This is a page from the first DD issue i've read...Still in love with Stilt Man...and Spidey ! I've bought a Romita Sr page for a lot of money...but this page with the vertical panel and the perspective is a gem...was following it but my budget wasn't enough 😂....You're a lucky guy ! This page is breathtaking
With a villain called Stiltman, why not vertical panels? That said, in my opinion, Gene the Dean was a master at page layout and storytelling - very fluid, very cinematographic; he belongs among the Marvel Pantheon of artists. Regardless of title or character, you have yourself a great page. Congratulations!
Amazing page (pun intended...), must be impressive in person. As to pricing, one consideration is that Colan had such a long stint on DD that you are bound to have big variance in prices, depending on quality and vintage. I have not seen that many high quality twice up pages with DD either. As to why Romita prices are so high, a lot has to do with the success of the comic book itself, not only the character. Many people have Romita's run on it, with all the soap etc, as their emotional sweetspot. I don't think prices of Romita DD are even close.
Wow! Fantastic page, congrats!
There's no doubt that a particular title and artist makes a big difference in value, regardless of quality. You're right that Spidey's title is the most popular, thus commands the highest prices. Also agree that Colan is slightly underrated. Consistently excellent, but kind of offbeat. Doesn't strike me that he was born to do comics, like Kirby. Ironically, while I like Romita's art, I think he's slightly overrated. But, associated with Spidey, so zooms to the top echelon.
Really awesome! Great action from different perspectives in every panel, and you can tell that the Ditko Spidey is still THE Spidey at the time :) Sweet example all around. Sincere congrats!
Gorgeous page. Colan is the best. Prices in comic art (like all art) are arbitrary, and often reflect whatever artist the masses believe is collectible and worthy. Sometimes the masses are right and pick the best artists, and sometimes they are wrong and pick crap. That's why you have to collect what you love. How can you not love this page? It's steller!!
Stiltman not a very long lived character, maybe a bit too stilted ;-) Spectacular page!
A stellar addition! I love how Colan draws motion and action; It explodes off the page. I totally slept on Colan, much to my collection's detriment, and my recent chagrin. You have something special here. Congrats!
What an amazing page! There's no gristle on this steak! If Colan is underrated, I hope he stays that way until I'm done collecting. I'd really like a solid Colan Daredevil page for my collection, but this would be amazing.
This is a superb page by one of the best artists on Dd. He drew a great spiderman! Not sure why knocking the other pages makes this better. They are all pretty good. The price you paid was a very very good deal. Congrats!
Beautiful collection. Last panel on this page as good as it gets.
Wow! Great and rare Spider-Man Colan art!
I remember this one on Heritage and it just kept going up and up,so I bowed out .This is such a great page Steven,congrats !
GORGEOUS< Adam Austin and Gary Michaels! Two of the Best!
Stunning Spider-Man battle page by Colan and Giacoia! Hard to beat a page with Spidey fighting a major Marvel villain like Stilt Man for sheer explosive power! So what if it's in Daredevil, it's still Spider-Man!
