Looooove this!

Great page! Those early Eastman/Laird pages are tough to find.

Owner:

Agree!

Spider-Butts

Owner:

I'm not likely to get another Kirby any time soon, so I am very happy with this one. Kirby's Skull has such a distinctive look to him, so I was thrilled to grab a page with him (and Zola). Besides, I have PLENTY of pages with Cap on them. Bring on the bad guys!

Owner:

Killer DPS. Literally.

I've long been a fan of Chris' work. I hope to see this one in person someday!

Owner:

Simon M.

I'm not sure which Lee is better at drawing: Thing or Spider-Man. Good thing you got both.

Owner:

Simon M.

I love Tiny Wolverine.

The Gold Standard

Marc Mokken

Ummmm ... my wall or yours? Because ...

Owner:

Marc Mokken

What a cool piece! I'd make room on the wall for that.

Fred Chamberlain

I really liked Adam's work on these covers. Lois is my favorite, but Ma Kent is a close second.

Owner:

Pat L

That's a wonderful SP piece. Great use of solid blacks to pull your eye through.

Owner:

Chris K.

As a Bachalo collector - this is probably at the top of my want list of Chris' work. One hell of a page.

Owner:

Ron S

If only my war chest had been full, I would have given you a run for your money. Great example of a great strip! I'm quite jealous!

Owner:

Adam Law

That's gorgeous.

Owner:

Bill J

I'm a sucker for an artist who does their own thing. And no one does it like Tradd Moore.

Plus hand-drawn type? It can't get much better.

Owner:

Tangled Web Art

Big Bachalo fan. Big Chamber fan. This cover has everything you could want. Congrats!

Owner:

Kelvin Mao

This is the kind of behind the scenes stuff I love to see. Plus, it's Adam. Great pick up!

Owner:

JN 80

Wow. A TAS splash can’t get better than that. 

Owner:

Bill J

Lovely! There is nothing I love more in a piece of comic art, than the splotchy brush strokes of ink on paper. 

Owner:

Jimmy Lawrence

I'd get that tattooed on my ... oh, are we making t-shirts? I'm in. (Great JJJ!!!)

Owner:

That's great! Love the inks.

Owner:

Simon M.

As much as I love the issue with all the spreads, this first issue is just the best. 

Owner:

Gerard Nadal

Jae's work during this period is something else. Really loved his time on the X titles.

Owner:

Sonu Kumar

I love pieces where the city is the main character. Risso nailed this one. 

Owner:

Sonu Kumar

Helluva write up, and a great page too. Gary hits that sweet spot of story and art for me as well. 

Owner:

Bill J

It's hard to get better than this ... but I've seen the rest of your collection and I'm sure you'll top it. Great, great image.

Owner:

Paul P Spiderversity

What a great JJJ strip.
Spidey and Doc Ock are nice too, I guess.

Owner:

Ken Martin

Risso is one of the best!

Owner:

R M

This is great!

Owner:

Bill J

Literally everything you could want in an Art Adams Batman piece. And probably a few things you didn't even know you wanted. Huge congrats on this one.

Owner:

Jeff Singh

This is one of the many I was tracking. Nothing remotely like this ever happened to me, but the antics in this strip have always reminded me of my family. The sign of a great strip is how much everyone can relate to it.
Unfortunately, I failed to get one myself. I thought I was the top bidder in a daily and was shocked to find out my bid didn't register. 

Owner:

Benno Rothschild

Loving that art deco detail!

Owner:

One hell of a cowboy

Carl's Collection

The movie sketchbook is a great idea. I need to add something by Chris to mine. ;-)

Owner:

I love this one. Let's trade.

It is currently 2024. We should have had Deathlok for 30+ years already. The future is so disappointing. 
GREAT page. Collectors love their splashes and their covers - but a great example of sequential art, like this one, gets me every time. That strip of small panels - with the narration - really makes this one special.

Owner:

Jason Hussa

Gorgeous page. And the Bugle in the background! I loved Immonen on this title.

Owner:

Andrew Hanna

Adam had some great OAX commissions. This one tops them all. So dynamic.

Owner:

R M

These early color commissions by CB are amazing. Congrats!

Owner:

Simon M.

Come for the Wolverine Monkey Army, stay for the poses of our favorite team. That double-barrel Bloodstone? High-flying Tabitha? Machine gun Machine Man?
It's all so good. 

Owner:

I was the underbidder on a great Casey Jones page from this issue. Missing out on that made me hunt down a good example before I was priced out. I'd love to improve on this, but very happy with it for now.

Owner:

* From The Land Beyond

Love the Triceratons! Finding a page from the issue 6 gladiator battle would be a grail-level score for sure.

Owner:

* From The Land Beyond

I remmeber this page well. Great score.

Eastman makes good splatters these days. I really like how his work has evolved. Mutated?

Owner:

Jay D

I picked up a few interiors instead. That will have to do.

But if this ever leaves your collection, there's a spot on my wall waiting for it.

And I'll pay more than a dollar. ;-)

Owner:

Jay D

I was SO bummed when I had to let this one go at auction. Great cover and a huge nostalgia hook. Congrats!

Owner:

Dominic Milano

This page is just the best. The title is easily my favorite that Mignola has worked on.
