A sublime example of self portrait illustration art by the man who brought so much love and dedication to his Carol Day strips.  This is, indeed, an immeasurable treasure. Congrats on a true grail.

First you post a 1st appearance of Punisher page and now a 1st appearance of Daredevil page?  Are you trying to make the rest of us look bad??  Epic acquisition and many congrats on this treasure!

Epic Ross Andru Spidey Vs. Punisher page!   This one has it all: Spidey and Punisher in just about every panel, great Ross Andru action and all in a page from Punisher's 1st appearance!  You look up Holy Grail of Comic Art on Google and there's a picture of this page!   Congrats on this legendary addition to your collection!

Holy crap, I think you did.  I thought this page looked familiar.

Stunning Cap battle page!  What a great image and drawn by the awesome team of Jurgens and Layton!  Congrats, Paul!

Another stunning addition to your collection, Michael.  Comngrats on acquiring this beautiful cover by Cho.  And knowing your affinity for Golden Age characters, it isn't hard to see why you love this piece.

What a great commission by Jazzy Johnny!  No one can draw Spider-Man like Mr. Romita.  And the fact that it includes Spidey's origin makes it perfect.  Congrats on getting this treasure!

I know what you mean.  He usually brings some pre-done sketches and sketch covers, but never any published pages.  And I never ask because I know how reluctant he is to sell his published art.  This was a completely unexpected and wonderful surprise.  That's why I bought 2 of them.  If you can get in touch with Jerry, he still has about 8 pages left from the book.

Thank you, sir!   Ruben, this was clearly a case of being at the right place at the right time.  And having a friend alert me to the fact that Jerry was selling these pages.  I would never have known otherwise because Jerry did not put them out on his table.  At the end of the show on Sunday, I expressed surprise to Jerry that he hadn't sold out of these pages.  He said it was because he never promoted them and was so busy with signatures and sketches that he never put them on the table.  So, only folks who aksed if he had art for sale would even know.

Classic Green Lantern by Byrne and Rubinstein is a combination that can't be beat!  Reminiscent of theire work on Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.  Congrats on this treasure!

Ruben, he did bring a small stack, but only the pages he drew from New History of the DC Universe.  He said another collector had been bugging him about these pages so, on a whim, he brought all the pages he drew for the book.  No others, though.

This is a great piece, Rich.  The story of the book and it's journey is just as impressive as the book itself.  And so happy you were fimally able to have father and son together in the sketch book.  Congrats1

Stunning page by Jerry!  Has echoes of the first History of the DC Universe art by George Perez.  I also saw Jerry and picked up 2 pages that will be posted soon.  Was surprised to see him selling published pages as he is always reluctant to doo that.

Major congrats on this grail level piece, Michael!  Epic, majestic and breathtaking!  Byrne and Sinnott at their best.

Great Superman Vs. Guy Gardner page!  With the 6 panel format and the close-ups of their faces, you can really feel the tension between the two fo them.  And, I have to admit, I am surprised to see you post a Tom Grummett page.  You really don't have him represented very well in your collection and I feel you should add more Grummett pages in the future. :-)

Great Legion piece by the late Jim Shooter.  His sizable contribution to the comics industry has influenced many writers and artists through the years.  RIP Jim, you will be missed.

Great Halloween themed Sugar & Spike 100, Aex!  Love the color, the composition and the great Bobby Timony art!  Sheldon Mayer would approve!

David, Thank you for the correction.  I had no idea and will correct the error right away.

Stunning MJ by the Master!  Well done, Alex!

Stunning Lightle Flash page!  But, then all his pages were exceptional.  Very underrated artist gone way too soon.

Thank you for posting this, Nick.  An honorable and fitting trbute to a great artist gone too soon.  Let's all raise a glass today.  To John Cassaday, artist, creator and friend--to all of us.

Good observation!  However, I can think of 2 reasons the Penguin may have left her wig on--1) all he needed was the costume since the imposter already had naturally blonde hair and 2) Penguin didn't know it was a wig.

Darryl does do a great Cyclops!  So glad you like it, Bill.

Yeah, I thought that was out of character for Flash and Atom.  Did not like that, either. I also partly attribute it to the attitudes towards women in the 1970's.

As you can tell, I also love Alan's work.  As to the page 1 splash, I sold it to another collector, CAF member bronze-is-gold.  I had anothe piece that I wanted and, even after the sale, would still have 4 pages from Weiss's Super Team Family # 11.  So, win, win.

LOL, Ruben, I can hear the song in my head now!

What more could anyone ask for??

As usual, the Master never disappoints.  So happy that he was able to do this sketch for Lindz!

Wow, some breathtaking Andru/ Garcia-Lopez Atari Force pages!  And it is always a treat to get sequential pages.  Love them all, but page 2 is my favorite.  Superb composition, figure drawing, placement of spot blacks and the icing on the cake is the logo on the bottom of the page.  Many congrats on a great find like this.

Good grief, man, why did you buy this??  This isn't just a Grail.  It is THE Grail!  The Grail other Grails wish they could be!  And since you can't get a better page than this, you have to stop collecting!  All kidding aside, legandary Byrne Wolvie page.  Congrats and glad it ended up with you.

LOL, thanks Ruben!  I still stare at this page in my office every day and haven't grown tired of it yet.  And, I should have posted this long ago, but just got around to it now.  Dick Giordano was one of my favorite artists and I was privileged to live only 4 hours from him and was able to visit him frequently.  I bought this on one of my visits about 17 years ago. So, it took me this long to show it off!  And I couldn't agree with you more--Giordano IS a legend.

Beautiful example of Quitely's art!  Congrats on this great addition to your collection

Ruben, I don't need to do that.   I bought many pages from Dick over the years, Jonni pages included.  (He lived 4 hours away from me in Palm Coast, Florida.)  Most of the Jonni pages had the color hold art on vellum overlays since there was no computer technology for that in 1985.  I remember there were about 6 or 7 pages that had the photostats on them AND came wit the overlay as well.  Why?  I have no idea. Maybe they were trying something new?  Your guess is as good as mine.

Yet another masterpiece to add to your museum quality collection.  Your taste in fine art continues to amaze and baffle me.  How do you do it??  And a much sought after Abrera no less!  Could you please leave at least some of the better pieces for the rest of us??

Could not agree more, Ruben.  I had zero expectations of any kind of compensation; just wanted to help out an artist.  One part of the story that I left out (and will add after I type it here) is that after i took the commission, Stephane asked me who is my favorite character.  I told him Batgirl and he said to come back in an hour or so.  At that point, I thought he would either do a quick sketch or give me a free signed print.  Was happily surprised to see this when I came back to his booth later.  And, yes, I apprecaite the gesture immensely.

Stunning example of Kane's Captain Marvel era art.  Great addition to your collection!

I had to look away lest my eyes melt due to the massive luminescence of this life altering piece of art!  In fact, I am not even worthy of commenting, lest I tarnish the brilliance of this historic piece.  Thank you, sir, for allowing peasants such as myself to ogle this stunning piece of artistic mastery!  And as to the origin of this masterwork: obviously, the artist and writer time traveled to the future to behold this historic showing of Blade Runner!  Many congrats!

Face it, Nick, you just hit the jackpot!  DD, Elektra and Bullseye by Romita, Jr.?  It doesn't get any better than this!

Awesome Team-Up page featuring the 2 coolest kids on the block--SNL and Marvel!  Great addition to your collection, Dave!

Nothing beats a Garcia-Lopez Superman and Lois cover!  And I agree.  Truly the best stroyteller alive!  Congrats on a great addition to your collection.

Positively sublime Gammill X-Men page!  And it doesn't hurt that Storm is one of my favorite X-Men.  Coupled with the excellent inks of Dan Green, this is a real grail piece.  Congrats on adding this beauty to your collection.

Actually, Ruben, Kerry indicated to me that these pages represent the LAST of the pages he is willing to part with.  He hinted that he still has a few pages left for himself, but these are the last he is willing to sell.  Ken Carson at 4C Comics does have more pages and prelims, so you may want to contact him if you are interested.

Wow, stunning Kirby page!  Way too cool to be in your collection.  Should be in mine, LOL!

Stunning Golden Age Batman page!  Jurgens pencils are superb and Nowlan's inks just complete the masterpiece.  Great piece of art, congrats!

Just stunning, Ruben!  What a great addition to your collection.  Or any collection for that matter.  Mike continues to amaze with his positively sublime art.  Thanks for sharing.

The amount of detail is positively sublime as Ben goes through these villains like a freight train!  Great # 1 cover and Bradshaw at his best.  Has a definite Art Adams feel to it.  Congrats, Chris!

Just breathtaking!  Adams and Adkins give us GL in a stunning splash that begs to be gazed upon again and again.  Many congrats on scoring this grail!

Alex, this is proof that you're wife is better than ANYBODY ELSE'S wife!!  What a great and intricately detailed piece.  Love the giant machine and the way Sugar N Spike are depicted by Farel.  It could almost be called Steampunk Sugar N Spike.

Alex, this is easily one of the best Sugar & Spike 100 covers you've commissioned!  The attention to detail with all the stippling is nothing short of stunning.  Also love Jeremy's style that evokes the early days of children's books  like Alice in Wonderland, Winnie the Pooh and Dr. Seuss. Congrast and keep spending that inheritance!

Just stunning!  The amount of detail is insane and yet it isn't overdone or crowded.   J.H. Williams III never disappoints.
