Great storytelling throughout and I love the mugs at the bottom!
You're not wrong...
We need to think of an interesting combination to capture enough pages for an Artifact edition...Cap 136 - 137 pages could be located...and you have a lot of widow pages. I feel My Love 15 and 16 might be sitting in a closet somewhere though.. Maybe an artifact edition with all Everett inks would be a solution?
That's certainly my goal. As much as I have been a collector since childhood, I have little pride of ownership of these pages (I didn't draw them, after all), and their value, to me, corresponds to how many like-minded fans can enjoy them in high quality. A Bill Everett artifact edition would be to die for (although mixing large art and small art pages raises a format question). My guess is that there are enough Gene Colan Cap pages in collector's hands to merit an AE of that work... although who knows if the market would support such a book?
Colan and Everett were truly a match made in heaven! The black and white looks even better than the published version!
I know what you're gonna buy at the march Heritage auction. I bet one of your DD page!
Talk about going out in style! The two mugs in the bottom panel are priceless.
Colan and Everett!...Couldn't have said it better, Sean! And, yes, an Artist's Edition is a Collector's Dream. This is ususally where it starts, economics only come later!...
What a great page. A true gem.
Superb job by the two awesome talents of Gene and Bill. Everett was an incredible artist as a penciller no doubt about that. As an inker he brought an incredible energy to the artists he worked with. The Thor issues inked on Jack, the covers he embellished on Gil Kane are multiple and beautiful examples of his work. What can be said is that he not only bring his evident knowledge but he also respected the penciller he was working for. Nothing was changed or erased but has been improved by him. The Colan's faces here are just incredible. Love this page, congratulations Sean !
Stunning page! Colan's faces in the bottom panel are awesome! And Everett's inks are sensational!
I hope its spiritually pure and platonic, not sticky. 'This is art I love any time I return to it.'
Crazy good. Fine art good.
