I have always hoped for a chance at a Moebius Surfer. Sweet find!

One of the few covers that actually looks better without the title stats!

Great acquisition!

Hey Michael,

I am very sorry to hear about your step dad. As you know, there is no training for loss in school. We think we are prepared for most of us have gone through life and lost someone close in the past, but we are usually misguided. I have found that when we lose someone we truly love, it is like we have lost part of ourselves. I know it won't help today or tomorrow, but time really does help with most wounds. Give yourself time.

Predates one of the most memorable modern Marvel covers ever, Silver Surfer #50! Great memories of that time period!

Love it!

Same with this piece. Hoping for it to become visible sooner rather than later.

Hey Robert,

I hope you get these back. I know that I kind of lost "something" more than just the actual pieces of art when I went thru something similar. The good thing is, they are one-of-a-kind and if they ever become visible, you have a better than average chance of getting them back.

Thanks for the comments Marcus!

Thanks Rob! And it was the very first piece of art I ever purchased.

Thanks John.

Rare & visually stunning piece!

A portal back in time... Love it!

No, I was not at a convention. They were inside a black portfolio that was big enough to house twice-up pages. 29 pages in all with 21 so far recovered almost 19 years later.

I was the one that acquired it at SDCC in 2007.

Sweet potato pie!!!

Hey Chuck, great commission! Sadly, I used to own the original page that sequenced this martian landscape scene with the ship...I belive I used to own the interior page that also was the cover iange with the footprint in the martian terrain. Brings back memories. Tremendous collaborative piece!

Simple, yet stunning!

Great painted cover!

Tremendous interior!

Tremendous page!

Love to hear the background stories! Greatly miss the Friday lunch times when the local shop (about 500 feet south of Lake Ontario's shoreline) and 2 miles north of Kodak Park) would get new books in. I would make it through a Burger King drive thru on the way over & treat the owner & talk comics for about 45 mins. That's all I needed to get through the work weeks. That one lunch hour at the end of the week. This is even extra special when someone has left you a work of art for all the memorable times you shared in the comic shop telling stories.

Memorable and tremendous!

Love this piece Miki!

Very nice interior to the story!

Very memorable piece for the time I came back into the hobby after graduating from college and buying the first house. I visited the local comic book shop (they advertised in those 1970's comics out of Rochester, NY - Empire Comics). This was one of the 1st new books I saw come in that month. Very nice!

One of the nicest interior splash pages of this era and any era!

Just viewing this piece, transports me back in time. Tremendous work!

That was her very first shot at the hoop (and believe it or not) it went in! Thanks so much for bringing me over here Pete as I just saw the email and came over to see. I probably haven't taken the time to come visit on my own enough lately. Hope all is well for you and yours!

Hi Eric, thank you so much for your kind thoughts. They mean so much to hear. Even though you never had a chance to meet, I'm hoping through the written words or just the simple images, those with the same lack of experience still feel that they knew of her in some small way. And maybe that can lend to an extra appreciation and thankfulness for those that are still with us.

Take care,

Mark

Extraordinary!

I do not think I have ever left any feedback on CAF. But, love this Schomburg so much, I had to!
