Simon Bisley Spider-Man
Owner: David Scalzo

Comment posted on 1/19/2014
See what happens when you ask Spidey to Bisley - you would expect eight legs, fur, blood everywhere, and instead he surprises you delivering a perfect crossover between Ditko e Romita, with just the scary detail of the big hands. What a beautiful, unusual Bisley piece, congrats!

whilce portacio logan

Incredible use of camera, light and shadow. Brilliant piece. The art of Portacio, differently from what happened to many of his Image pals, has evolved during the years - I am convinced that we have yet to see the best from him.

Kiss Miss Carol - Nick Coffin and Mary Rousseau

What an incredible display of talent in depicting a simple scene in an interior. Every object, the expressions, every light and every shadow fall exactly in the right place. What a perfect piece.

Iron Man - Tim Sale
Owner: Colin Solan

Comment posted on 1/19/2014
These Sale commissions have an overall average quality I have rarely seen from any other artist. No matter how quick his take on a character, he has always something original to say/draw. And the execution is really superb. BTW, this Iron Man you have here is probably the best I have seen, congrats!

Impressive an evocative piece - yet so simple. Very very nice.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs 3-D
Owner: Suat Tong Ng

Comment posted on 1/12/2014
You don't even need the googles to see the 3D here. As typical in your collection, this piece is just a perfect choice.

Great sketch. One of the most dangerous kids ever drawn in comics looks helpless as a Peanut, how funny!

Frank Frazetta panel from unfinished Came the Dawn EC story, 1954
Owner: artless artmore

Comment posted on 1/5/2014
Fantastic. A piece of history. How much power, even in a quite moment. Frazetta work seems alive - as my mother use to state when she's exposed to a piece of art she appreciates.

Batman Lobo
Owner: Darvant Petroleum

Comment posted on 1/5/2014
My entry for the face behinf Bats is Joker more than Lobo. Stunning sketch anyway, it's incredible how much power Bisley is able to unleash even in just some simple scribbles.

Cerebus: Ear to the Ground
Owner: Dean Reeves

Comment posted on 12/31/2013
Gerhard's work creates life through art - bypassing science. Incredible line and color work.

Cerebus: The Night Before
Owner: Dean Reeves

Comment posted on 12/31/2013
This guy really has an incredible amount of talent.

Frank Zappa, by Dave Sim - 2000
Owner: Enrico Salvini

Comment posted on 12/31/2013
What's better here? The portrait? The dedication? Who knows. But what I know that this kind of works makes me think that Mr. Sim is by far the most dedicated, capable, interesting sketch-artist ever. I would buy immediately a luxury collection of his convention works - seriously.

Carcharo by Todd McFarlane
Owner: F M

Comment posted on 12/31/2013
Perfectly drafted early example of McFarlane work, congrats!

Rorschach Watchmen Dave Gibbons

Epic.

Daredevil Klaus Janson
Owner: Edoardo Cavani

Comment posted on 12/30/2013
Great! Just a few lines were enough to Mr. Janson to make a DD that is so easy to recognize you don't even need the signature. Congrats!

Charles Vess Tarzan
Owner: Fons van Erp

Comment posted on 12/30/2013
Impressive rendition of the character, adds a little bit of Peter Pan in the Lord of Greystoke. It makes you wonder what Mr. Vess could be able to do if given the chance to work on the subject. Simple, yet powerful piece.

SANDMAN #1 p.38
Owner: Felix Lu

Comment posted on 12/19/2013
I would like to have something to say about this, but I don't: maybe cat got MY tongue.

Down goes Foster! Down goes Foster!
Owner: Damon Owens

Comment posted on 12/7/2013
How good is this? Great choice for the shot and great execution for the anatomies. It really conveys a lot of energy. Great piece.

Nova #4 Cover Recreation prelim by Keith Pollard and Gary Martin(Updated)
Owner: Rob Shalda

Comment posted on 12/7/2013
Such a nice work from the hands of two first class professionals. Really nice the contrast between the fight and the incredibly detailed background. Great piece.

Felix Lu said:
Some of the finest comic art of the last 30 years. Congrats on this page!

I really second what Felix said. Every single page of this series is a joy. The drawing, the storytelling, the dialogues, everything is simply perfect. Great page.

CEREBUS 74 (1985)
Owner: Lorenzo Fratini

Comment posted on 11/23/2013

Matt E. said:
I see Gerhard as probably one of the most underrated artists in all comicdom. Dave Sim is everything you say but I couldnt imagine the books without Gerhard.

Thanks for your kind words about the page, and for reminding me to spend some more for Gerhard's work. You are very right in your statement: his contribution to Cerebus has been extremely important. I read once in an interview (I cannot remember exactly the magazine or the period, but I am quite sure abou this) that he was specifically mentioning the sequence of "Cerebus and Jaka in a room" like one of the very first where he felt he was entirely clicking. He is underrated - I agree: but I believe because it's simply difficult for the comicdom to properly classify him and his incredible work.

Uncanny X-Men 268, pg.6 - Jim Lee & Scott Williams
Owner: Dermot D

Comment posted on 11/19/2013
Uncanny 268 is one of the milestones of 90's comicdom, and this page you have here is one of the milestones of Uncanny 268. Sacrilege maybe, but in my opinion Jim Lee and Scott Williams rarely have gone higher than here. Not to mention the historical relevance of the first handshake between the two guys featured. Whatever you gave away for this, you made a deal.

Amazing Spider-Man #39 - John Romita Jr. & John Romita Sr - One Minute Later
Owner: Michael One Minute Later

Comment posted on 11/19/2013
A tip of the hat to one of the major collecting accomplishment showed here on CAF. Your whole collection is more than deserving to be published, it would make a great collector's edition!

Cerebus #24, Page 6

Wow, brother. WOW.

Uncanny X-Men #167 - Modernized: Chris Ivy after Paul Smith
Owner: Joshua McCoy

Comment posted on 11/7/2013
I am not the greatest fan of recreations, but this one you have here is beautiful. Not just great execution: it really has a meaning. Brilliant piece, bravo.

Marc Spector: Moon Knight #32 Page 13 by Ron Garney & Tom Palmer - Spider-Man
Owner: Fazle C

Comment posted on 10/14/2013
Brilliant page. There are few subjects as enjoyable as Spidey black costume if you collect B/W original comic art! Great page!

Moon Knight by Michael Lark
Owner: David Holden

Comment posted on 10/14/2013
This Lark/Moonkinght combo is definetely something great. You had a great idea for the subject, and Mr. Lark delivered a brilliant work, congrats to you both.

Hulk vs Mr. Hyde
Owner: Fabio C.

Comment posted on 10/14/2013
Defintely a grail piece, If I have ever seen one. Kieth's takes on Hulk have been unforgettable, and the presence of Mr. Hyde makes this piece even more precious. I can hardly imagine a better example for Sam's art and vision in any collection, congrats Fabio.

Nightcrawler by Alan Davis and Mark Farmer
Owner: levi jacob

Comment posted on 10/14/2013
Davis on Nightcrawler is unsurpassed. Davis alone is able to entirely convey the beastly, shadowy side of the character, without making him menacing. Simple, great sketch.

TALES OF THE TEEN TITANS 49 Cover
Owner: James Sharland

Comment posted on 9/17/2013
Incredible light in this cover, clearly in the shadows of Steranko - at least in my opinion. It's one of the most fascinating pieces I have seen on CAF, something I would really PAY just to see in person, congrats.

THE SPECTRE 14 Cover Volume 2
Owner: James Sharland

Comment posted on 9/17/2013
Impressive, impressive piece. Spectre is the perfect character for Vess, and Vess is just the perfect artist for the Spectre!

Concrete
Owner: Al Lister

Comment posted on 9/17/2013
Concrete has been one of the greatest contributions of the 90's to the history of comics. You have a very nice collection here, I especially like this drawing, congrats.

CHARLES BRONSON / WOLVERINE

Jack Kirby Kamandi 1975
Owner: roberto maglione

Comment posted on 9/17/2013
Ma � fantastica questa pagina di Kamandi! Grande suspence, e fantastico il primo piano a stringere nelle ultime due vignette. Una delle pi� belle che ho visto in giro da questa serie, davvero!

Dylan Dog Micheluzzi S#2 Gli orrori di Altroquando
Owner: Alessia Mimotti

Comment posted on 9/17/2013
Altroquando � stata la prima storia di Dylan Dog che ho letto, e vedere una tavola della storia mi fa davvero impressione. I disegni di Micheluzzi erano straordinari, le prime due vignette sono probabilmente il miglior urlo di campanello dell'intera serie.

Rude Steve - Spiderman

Fantastic page from a fantastic story.

Jim Lee - Uncanny X-Men # 275 Page 21
Owner: Julien B

Comment posted on 9/17/2013
I don't remember a single panel in the history of the X-Men with such a powerful image of Magneto. Panel 2 is history in the making. This whole page is history, to be honest. Deepest congrats.

Marvel 2 in 1 : issue 43 p 22

Comment posted on 9/17/2013
Just fantastic. You can't miss with the young John Byrne.

Havok by Larry Stroman
Owner: Edward Gulane

Comment posted on 9/17/2013

Morpheus and the Corinthian by Marc Hempel
Owner: Edward Gulane

Comment posted on 9/17/2013
The Kindly Ones has been a great moment in modern comic history, and this piece you have here conveys all the drama of those final moments. Beautiful work from Mr. Hempel, cheers to you for getting this!

Death - Matteo Scalera
Owner: Rob C.

Comment posted on 9/17/2013
Surprising and powerful piece.

Cerebus #34 pg. 12
Owner: Dan P

Comment posted on 9/16/2013
Stellar Cerebus page. I entirely agree with your description, this is a defining moment in the High Society narrative. AND, it's a clear proof of the undisputed talent of Mr. Sim, on of the greates graphic storytellers ever.

Alfred Hitchcock by Dan Panosian
Owner: Molly Coffee

Comment posted on 9/4/2013
Great choice for the character. For some reason, I find the red background quite scary.
