I love the British heroes because they are not all that heroic. They often win thru dumb luck more than skill or strategy.

A very great effort. Was this based on an actual unused cover because I remember seeing one on the web at some point.

I was just rereading this and Kirby's two-page spreads were so so brilliant and this is one of the best.

I would not kill but maybe slightly maim for a page with Klarion (but would probably hurt meself more). He is my favorite DC Kirby character. but the Demon is not slouch either.

Why are there comments before this? This ia a great page by the master. I've been rereading them and loving it. I think the DC material might have been too sophisticated for teenager me (I was 14 when this came out) but the staging of the panels, the incredible two-page spreads !!!! And Kirby uses as many exclamation points, maybe more, than Stan, even !!!!

This is a hoot. I like it more than most finished commisions. I love the loose,. just drawing.

This is such a fun fannish issue, how Neal ties it into continuity, but also make it exciting so you really don't see what's coming or why. And I was just thinking, wondering if any of the Adams spread were the centerfold so that they could be done on one boards since if they are on two and they are taped together they are never in sync. 

This is less sophisticated but more primal than the other Shadow pieces by Bernet on CAF. To me it's very evocative of Frank Robbins work on the character.

Yowzer! It certainly combines the various sides of Wood.

The last and the best Steve Gerber Lilith story and the art combination shouldn't work but it really does.Congrats.

I've never heard of the comic or artist (but I'm old) but this is cool as can be.

My favorite piece by Wrightson. I guess I can retire than dream now. Wow!

Yikes. You have much better flea markets up there than we do in the Kansas City area.

Greg needs to know more about Balloon and it's artist. You have great 'normal' stuff in your galery as well as wonky, wonderful stuff like this.

Take this the right now, but, oh, you bastard. I lamented not getting a S&S with Jeremy when I went to a show he was at and now it would be probably pointless, or seem like I'm a copycat. This is perty though.

And I know who 'caused' me to 'have to' spend so much to get this. And, now, of course it is no surprise as I've heard you talk about your love for Jonah and I suppose there is some merit to bidder collusion -- agreeing beforehand to not bid against each other on certain items.....  I actually have more affection for the Vertigo Truman/ Glanzman but that's less for artistic reasons as nostalgia. Stuff like this and Garcia-Lopez can't be beat for quality.

Albert is the star of the strip to me, Pogo the straight man, and other characters are silly but no one is as much of a buffoon as Albert. In the same way Plastic Man only works when you have Woozy. PM did great funny stuff but Woozy was a hoot and he even got solo stories in the middle of the books.

Hey, you're only supposed to have funny art. I supported that Kickstarter too but while I'm wishing I'd gone for this perk I probably couldn't afford it at the time. Such is life.

Only one of the best Elemental pages wrote the jealous as hell commentator.

So you reaallllly like Fline Henry. This is all pretty swell and werid stuff. Congrats.

 I'm dazzled by your collections. This looks like something Morrow might have done for Hamilton Comics but didn't get published as they weren't around that long.

I love this but you need to do a bigger scan. It cries for a larger image to click to....

And I think this is the only page from the first issue to surface.

I first saw this in the Buscema book and it was such a revelation because the coloring is so heavy handed in the comics It's too bad he couldn't make a career just doing stuff like this because he was so great at it.

I've often thought as great an inker as Neal was that a really good pencilled piece would as good. This may be the best of what I assume was a revisit. It really captures the look of the comic and still has the looseness and energy that was there under all of the realism. I'm jealous as hell but happy to see it.

Ratman is great. I especially like his reappearance. The Elementals was a great series. I wish Willingham had fought for it like Wagner did for Grendel and Mage.

Well, it was more of a case of I knew he liked him as opposed to him asking me to find him something.

This is incredible. I love Breccia's changing styles to suit the story/ subject matter. He could do anything and do it brilliantly. 

Damn, I'm pretty sure this is the page (comiclink auction?) I really should have gone higher (but if it is you would have probably just spent more) because Sutton really gets into the decayed details for the pirates.

Three pages from the best Teen Titans issue. As much as I like the issues Neal pencilled it is the best story and that's why it was referenced for the Secret Origin. I'm one jealous commentator.

That's some kind of girl. Woof.

Panel 4 with Clea. So she doesn't wear a bra.

That's a cock a doodle doozy. Congrats.

The ad is funny because I got page #5 from #25 for less than the price listed.

and Super-Chief.

I guess I won't make an offer then but this is a spectacular piece.

I have this issue of Unknown but it is oddly enough also used as the cover for the printing of The Compleate Complete Enchanter by L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt that I have even though it does not reflect anything inside the book.

It's been too long since I've read Silver Starr but the imagery is undeniably evocative and unlike anything else, especially at that time. Congrats.

The whole sequence is great, the woman is fantastic but I think my favorite bit is the guy in the car in that last panel. He kills me.

The funny thing I told a friend in another state when I got this in '95 (when stuff was so cheap) that I had just bought the best Kaluta page from this short run backup. He was skeptical until he saw it. And Mike knows the perfect place to put his signature.

Duh, it says it at the top of the page!

What freaking issue is this from? I need it.

What freaking issue is this from? I need it.

That's downright abstract. Supposedly he wouldn't even pencil in stuff by this point just draw with ink.

His use of those lines on the water reminds me of Krigstein a lot. Toth would find uses for all kinds of different techniques and approaches.

He had his Showcase cover of the Venquilitrist with him at one of the two Chicago Comicons I went to and I know what you're talking about. He puts down the white ink (or paint, it's been a while) to give him a texture to dig into/ build upon. 

And the only miss-tery I can think of that's applicable is why Arthur, the neighborhood older boy, was such a jerk.

This one hurts because somewhere I have a Supersnipe catalogue where this was for sale for the price of................$150. There were other Adams pages, including at least one from Batman #237 ("Night of the Reaper," my favorite O'Neill/Adams issue) at the same price and all were great action pages. It is indicative of how broke I was (teenager) that I had instead put marks next to the Rich Buckler $5 pages but also apparently they were impossible to get hold of, or at least the person in charge of art, as there were several notes to call back at this time or that but I never bought any thing from them. A great issue and a great culmination of Adams'  8 issue run on the title.

No kidding. What I really want is his Lil' All-Winners (or something like that). It's basicly kid versions of the Timely characters and appeared in Marvel Vision magazine and I of course discovered it years later after it was sold. Stil...

WTF?! That's insane and I love it.
