It's a fun funny book to read. I recommend it to most everyone.
He is definitely a student of the game. I know he has done some published work and I try to get him to do commissions for people. I like the Weird Science cover he did for me. I might ask him for a horror cover next.
Thank you. When they came up at auction on Heritage, I knew I had to have them.
Golden Age Superman art. I am beyong impressed. Congratulations on the pickup in both its comic and historical legacy.
That's true, and I had not picked up on that. Interesting!
One of the things that I am kind of dismayed at is that at some point someone "mounted" each page on the cardboard backer that is resides on. It seems to be basic elmers glue but I am leery of trying to separate the page from the cardboard so it does not damage each page.
To me the value is the historical nature of each of these. Brown University holds some of his work in their collection from what I saw after seeking out information about him. What really surprises me is that a decent amount of his work survived.
As someone stated on the CGC Boards, comments from Marcus Wai are always appreciated and welcomed. It's like you know you've 'made it' when you get a Marcus comment. Thanks for this and all of the others !
I was uploading pieces of my own when I noticed this. First, I have to say, what an interesting and original focus. I really like a lot of these with this one immediately grabbing my attention. Cool idea and I look forward to seeing what else you pick up.
I have been watching. I hope that it continues to be successful enough for Mike and Anthony to keep it up.
lol thank you !
His wife and he were genuinely nice and gracious people. I think they were taken aback by how many people were lined up to get sketches and meet him at a comic book convention. Anyone who left that table walked away with a smile. You are right, the impact that these guys had on our childhood and overall education is immeasurable.
I absolutely agree with your reasons for picking up this page. I have always thought the same way that the characters sometimes outshine the artist.
When I was looking for a Superman page, I went looking for something similar. When people come over this is hanging up. No one outside of comic collectors know who Jack Kirby is from Todd McFarlane. They do know an iconic Superman page when they see one though. I picked this up for the same reason... up up and away.
Cool to see someone with a similar mindset in collecting these types of pages.
Since you asked to see other pages that are similar, here is mine.
Many thanks ! I know it's been floating around ebay since last year. With the movie announcement I figured I might as well grab it before I missed out. Got a few packages and noticed the other thing arrived. Posting a double page spread within an hour.
Ha! Thanks - I promise to check out on eBay tonight. I've spent the last hour looking through your collection. Simply AMAZING. Nice to see a fan have those pages.
It is a very under-appreciated series. I long sold off all my comics but have been buying the IDW hardcover editions of the series with Hama's notes at the end of each issue. You might want to check those out on Amazon. Also check out some of the other pages. I recently managed to secure the Snake Eyes splash from the last issue. Thanks again.
I agree with you and believe me, it was almost a detractor but it had a personal importance to me due to the character and my fondness of the book. I do not see much GI Joe art come up for sale and the few pieces I see have asking prices of double from what they normally trade for at auction. The eBay auction is public so I paid the $450 for the page with the belief that if a certain dealer got their hands on it I would be forced to pay $800-900 if I changed my mind in the future. I only have two pages from the Marvel series but am always on the lookout for more, especially if it features characters who I had as a kid.
Thanks! I took a chance with a new seller on eBay and it definitely worked out.
Just pulled my issue to verify and confirm. I changed it and appreciate you letting me know. Thanks!
