Miller, Frank - Daredevil Sketch Owner: Ken Fries Comment posted on 6/8/2021
Marcus Wai said:
I think Mr. Miller knew what he was doing picking to draw over this page in the book.  Ha! Yeah, I was wondering about that as well. Funny thing is, Klaus was originally supposed to be part of this signing as well. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get to meet Klaus eventually. |

Elektra Saga #4 Cover by Frank Miller Owner: Jeff Singh Comment posted on 12/14/2017 That's a beautiful piece of art by Frank at a great point in his career...but the story that you tell that goes along with it makes it that much more amazing. Good for you on getting something so obviously meaningful on so many levels. Congrats! |

CLOAK AND DAGGER ADVERTISEMENT ART - 1984, Promotion for Ongoing Series by Rick Leonardi and Terry Austin Owner: Nick - Barry - Matt - Hal - Namor Comment posted on 9/25/2017 I hate you. ;) Seriously, major congrats on a terrific piece. That Leonardi and Austin team were top notch on that series, so they obviously went even more all-out for the piece to promote the series. Excellent pick-up. |

"HOWARD THE DUCK" MAGAZINE #1 PAGE ORIGINAL ART Owner: Hake's Auctions Comment posted on 6/15/2017 Glad to see it! Thanks for listening. Went right to this when I saw "Paul Smith" and "Howard The Duck", and while that's not the case, anything with the words "Michael Golden" on it is terrific too. Always striving for accuracy, happy to help. :) |

Captain America #280 pg 21 Mike Zeck Owner: Devils Bile Comment posted on 6/14/2017 Beautiful page! Zeck & Beatty were on fire during this run, and this is a terrific example. Hard to beat this page as a great representation of their tenure. And as for the script, DeMatteis has had many stories over the years that evolved over time, and finally saw the light of day where they were supposed to. Very possible that this was one of them. |

"HOWARD THE DUCK" MAGAZINE #1 PAGE ORIGINAL ART Owner: Hake's Auctions Comment posted on 6/13/2017 I believe someone transposed the numbers on the top. This is NOT Paul Smith. This is NOT from issue 32 of the Howard The Duck comic book. Ink wash pages like this were only in the Howard The Duck Magazine, a black & white magazine-sized publication. This is most likely page 32 of Howard The Duck Magazine issue 9. There were multiple stories in that issue, hence why it also says 'Page 13" at the bottom of the page. |

Uncanny X-men #235 pg 16 Rick Leonardi & P. Craig Russell Owner: Devils Bile Comment posted on 6/13/2017 Beautiful page, and I agree with your Paul Smith/Rick Leonardi assessment. P. Craig Russell was a great inker for Leonardi. His style really enhances the look on Colossus in particular. Congrats on a terrific acquisition! |

Father and Son NYCC Owner: Jarrod Cavner Comment posted on 4/6/2017 I read the story about this piece in this week's CAF e-mail...you should really post that in the description of the piece. Terrific (yet sad) story, glad you were able to get something like this done. |

Stevens, Dave - Rocketeer, volume 2, chapter 2, page 7 (July 1989) Owner: Chris K. Comment posted on 2/17/2015 It should be mandatory to post some sort of reason or explanation about the page you're posting and why you've got it and/or what it means to you when you put something up on this site. This would be the template we'd all work off of. :) |

Cloak and Dagger #15 Page 18 Owner: Thomas Vanderstappen Comment posted on 12/24/2014 I used to own this! Glad to see it wound up in a good home :) |

Ricl Leonardi Daredevil Owner: philippe cordier Comment posted on 10/20/2014 This is a terrific piece. Love the portrait under the full character. And on that day, DD had his billy club holder on his right hip...therefore you can't see it ;) |

Doctor Strange - Rick Leonardi Owner: Abraham Martinez Comment posted on 10/20/2014 Very nice, great piece by a great artist...had he ever even drawn Strange before? |

Pacific Presents 1 Rocketeer cover by Dave Stevens and Steve Ditko Owner: Joseph Melchior Comment posted on 8/10/2014 Beautiful piece representing 2 important creators and eras from the history of comics. The sad part is, one's dead and the other's a recluse. The good part is, their work will always be accessible and will live forever. Major congrats! |

Elektra Lives Again, page 28, second panel Owner: Filmore W. Bedwick Comment posted on 6/14/2014 I actually prefer this panel, simply because of the more interesting camera angle...but beautiful either way :) |

Elektra Lives Again, page 28, first panel Owner: Filmore W. Bedwick Comment posted on 6/14/2014 I share your sentiments on this book. I waited years for its arrival after seeing initial glimpses of it in fanzines. As much as I love Dark Knight, I prefer this. I've read DK more, but Miller delves into even more twisted psyches in this book, and conveys it in beautiful, moody, metaphoric imagery. And while my absolute favorite will most likely always be Born Again, with Miller doing both writing and art chores (pencils AND inks, to boot) on this makes ELA a different kind of special. I seriously looked into getting a page from it a little while back, but the wife and I decided to remodel the house instead (I wish I was kidding about that comparison...), so I know what this mean$ to you. Absolutely beautiful page, and you couldn't have gotten a more iconic image from that book, seeing as, as you say, you have the image used to promote the book (I've got one of those posters up somewhere on the walls of our home). Tremendous congrats, enjoy that page for the rest of your life! |

Frankenstein Chapter III Plate Owner: Peter P Comment posted on 6/11/2014 Appreciate all your detail as to why you love this piece so much. It is obviously a beautiful piece, and the setting and mood that are conveyed via Wrightson's insanely meticulous line work are the true star of the piece. One can only imagine how many hours Wrightson labored over this particular plate alone. Fantastic pick-up, many congrats! |

Doctor Strange 68 page 13 Owner: robert frey Comment posted on 5/31/2014 A real gem of a page from a gem of an issue from a gem of a run! Truly wonderful page. Love the poses, the large scale figures, the zip...everything! |
||

BIG WOW 2014 Owner: E DLS Comment posted on 5/20/2014 Maybe I'll get to that show next year with my wife, and I can visit all the art you've got...oh, yeah, and you, too... |
||
|
Marv Owner: Carmen De Luccia Comment posted on 5/2/2014 Wow, fantastic piece. Marv in VERY early days, before he became more cartoony. This is really nice, should be held in the high esteem you obviously already do. Congrats! |
||
|
Supergirl and Superman by Rick Leonardi Owner: Mike Barrera Comment posted on 4/4/2014 Great choice for a commission by Leonardi, terrific figures, and the little touch of the clouds gives it a nice sense of depth. Congrats! |
||
|
"Janus" (ca. 1985) by Barry Windsor-Smith Owner: Brian Coppola Comment posted on 4/2/2014 Phenomenal piece to have as part of your collection. Any BWS original is fantastic...one from his pre-Raphaelite era, probably even better. Terrific piece, congrats! |
||
|
Hard Boiled Page Owner: John B Comment posted on 3/25/2014 Darrow's attention to detail borders on neurotic. Insanely good work. The patience to do something like this is on a superhuman level. Brilliant piece. |
||

Hunt the Dark Knight. Book 3 page 28 Owner: John B Comment posted on 3/25/2014 Absolutely beautiful. Perfect example from a...well, it may not be a perfect book...but it's damn close. Congrats! (BTW...and I'm just noticing this for the first time, despite reading the book how many times...what's with the funky cars in the background of the bottom panel?!? :)) |

Nowlan, Kevin - Frankenstein Sketch Owner: Ken Fries Comment posted on 3/24/2014
E DLS said:
I think you and I had very similar reactions to our respective Nowlan Frankenstein pieces Ken. It wasn't until I acquired my Nowlan Frankenstein painting and started reading about it on his blog, that I realized what a huge fan Kevin is of not only the character, but the iconic actor who played him. It makes the piece that much more special when you know it's a character the artist loves. Congrats on this wonderful pencil piece! Thanks Eric! It may even have been your piece, along with interviews with Kevin, that made me realize HOW much he loves Frankenstein! I always want the artist to WANT to be drawing the piece, not just doing another job...makes a difference. Thanks Eric! |

Silver Surfer Vol 3 #1 Rogers & Rubinstein Owner: levi jacob Comment posted on 3/23/2014 This is fantastic. Rogers really did a great job of capturing how fluidly and gracefully the Surfer is. I always had a soft spot for this book. You probably couldn't have gotten a better example to represent that run. Excellent pick-up, congrats! |

Legends of the Dark Knight Issue 69 page 7 - Batman by Mike Zeck! Owner: Malvin V Comment posted on 3/17/2014 Very nice! I've got a page from the second part of this story (that has some personal meaning to me), but this one is beautiful, with a great set-up to the appearance of a menacing, and wonderfully drawn, Batman in the last panel! Terrific page, congrats! |
||
|
Silver Surfer graphic novel Owner: Scott Eder Comment posted on 3/5/2014 Absolutely beautiful, Scott! Moebius may not have created Galactus, but he sure did his best to own him in this book. Fantastic work, congrats on an amazing acquisition! |
||
|
SPIDERMAN: LIFELINE 3 (2001) "He is so cool!" Owner: Lorenzo Fratini Comment posted on 3/5/2014 Another beautiful example of Rude's ability to infuse so much life into scenes. Terrific poses on all characters, big and small, great line work, and excellent storytelling. Also love his take on Strange's Greenwich Village mansion! Great page, congrats! |
||
|
Legends of the Dark Knight #30 (Batman) pag 23 by Matt Wagner Owner: Israel Collado Comment posted on 3/4/2014 Loved this story by Wagner, and you've got a great example from that book. This probably should've been published in black & white. His command of light and shadow is superb. Congrats! |
||
|
Before Watchmen - Dollar Bill # 1 Owner: Marvelman Excelsior Comment posted on 3/4/2014 Beautiful! Rude is a master of filling "small" scenes with grand detail, and all so beautifully crafted. Wonderful page, congrats! |

Hall 4 2014 Owner: Jeff Singh Comment posted on 2/20/2014 In all seriousness, fantastic collection, and beautifully displayed. The best reason to have art is to have it visible for you to enjoy, and for visitors to go "Ooh, aah..." |

Smith, Paul - The Rocketeer & The Spirit: Pulp Friction 1 Pg 1 Owner: Ken Fries Comment posted on 1/23/2014
Don Bohm said:
A quiet page, but wonderful none the less! Congrats! I enjoy the quiet scene-setting moments. They're as vital as anything else. And there's as much drawing ability on display here as on the "big" pages too. I'm happy! |

Smith, Paul - The Rocketeer & The Spirit: Pulp Friction 1 Pg 1 Owner: Ken Fries Comment posted on 1/23/2014
Gerry Turnbull said:
beautiful !! that top panel is amazing That's probably the reason I bought this page! If you look really closely in that panel, you can see the blue lines going from lower right towards upper left that Smitty used to keep the perspectives in order. That kind of attention to detail I really admire, and it shows a great work ethic and desire to do the job right. And I love looking at a snow covered city, reminding me of why I no longer live in one. |
