Thanks! Phew, it was a close call getting this one...

he painted a shadow under his signature!

i actually was interested in being a surgeon when i was a kid! all those human anatomy model kits i built!

who knows, it's very similar to the two LP covers i have and from that same period. this could have been desiged to crop a bit for that format.

I love it!

Beautiful!!!

A beauty!

Another great one!

Nice one!

Great to see it made it to a good home! I had to let it go due to making space and needing some funds although i still really love it. Enjoy!

I'm a fan of Robert's work so nice to see other examples! A friend of mine was good friends with him many moons ago and had him comission a painting for him from one of John Willie's photographs which I now own and is hanging up on my wall. Did you know there was a film made about Robert? My firend told me some stories about how Robert felt about it when it was finished but I can't remember the details now. I'll have to try and remember to ask him again. Maybe Robert didn't like his portrayal in it or something like that.

It was finally released on blu-ray after years of only being on vhs.

Thanks! It is great looking and vivid in person. His covers for these Eerie Publications were very cartoonish but also very gory. Maybe in a way it was easier to sell them to kids without being too serious looking. I know when I was growing up during this time, I loved these covers when I was buying them off the store shelves!

I meant to add that Holland is in there twice as well as the other one i posted. i'll do that later.

Exactly! Such a great touch and sadly not published in color.

Congrats! I had that for a few years and decided to let it go through Heritage and wondered where it went. Glad to see it found a new home!

Thanks! I'm definitely a proud owner with this one!

i had the same amount bid as you and then switched over to the auction house live bidding for the actual auction and it looked like i was winning with no other bids but afterwards i saw i lost! it's because i put in my bid last minute and yours being first takes precedence. i would have bid higher if i had known but it didn't tell me i was losing! congrats! i had a feeling you got it. i'm still really upset though...

hey sean, yes they are all the same artist and i got them together on ebay at least fifteen years ago. there were a couple others as well but they didn't impress me much so i passed. but then maybe six years ago i bought a painting from anthony's comics and it was by the same guy (K.R.) but i didn't even ralize it until i sold that through heritage with the others last year and had made a list of artists. i know anthony had another one listed and it might even still be up on his site. but i don't know anything about the artist beyond the initials.

I wanted the second one but she disappeared!

Great piece!!!!

I had all three of these for years and almost framed this one but never did and finally decided to turn them over to Heritage. Never found out anything ablout the artist.

Congrats on you being the new owner!!

I'm sure the original article this illustration accompanies is about that exact thing your link talks about. But written more for the layman who read the men's adventure magazines.

Great historical piece!!

That certainly shuffles my world!

Great score!

And it's 30' x 36" making it the biggest painting in my collection!

His originals are so beautiful in person.

They were definitely playing up the lesbian undertones in the novel by cropping the paperback that way...

Thanks Shelton! That was quick, I just posted it two minutes ago!

17 x 22.5"

Great to hear!

I'm glad my Manara art has made it to a good home! I enjoyed it for years and now you can enjot it!

Brian

Of course!!

I agree! All my John Willie's will stay with me a long time...

So impossible to find and not very many in existence. I've been helping out with the John Willie documentary calld "Beyond Bizarre" which has shown at the Paris film festival recently but they are still doing some final tweaks on it. It's a good doc and glad someone has finally done something of him.

i'll have to look and see if i have a good scan of it to see the head up close.

i think the publisher did the head at the bottom way just so they could get a larger image of thim on the cover. i like it that way as well.

and i just noticed recently when i looked closer at his face that it's the famous (and overused) model steve holland and i never noticed for over thirty years!

Glad it found a new home! I had it for years and framed it up decently enough to show off. But then I had to let some things go, sadly...

Enjoy it, it's really cool!

I'll try to attend next year but not as a seller anymore...

I'm glad it found a good home! I had to make the hard decision to let it go...

Enjoy it!

I'm glad it ound a good home! I never got around to framing it and decided to finally let it go through Heritage... 

Coooool!

cool prelim! and just as an fyi, it's "Berkey". no "L"!

Enjoy! It was on my wall for years and glad to see it go to a new home!

you're welcome!

"The View From The Cherry Tree" by Willo Davis Roberts.

Aladdin Books.

Great stuff! I love his work and happy to own one myself. Great score!

You should put together the whole set!

I love it! This is one of my favorite digest series!

Thanks! I still need to watch it. I have two versions of it on blu-ray still in shrink wrap!

At first I never even saw her legs and boots but now it's obvious. Lots going on in there...

There's this amazing secret warehouse filled with thousands and thousands of great illustration art and i'm the only one with a key...

I wish! I just spend most of my life searching around for original art because i'm so obsessed with this stuff. But it pays off somethimes. 

Thanks to you letting it go!

I wanted one for forty years! Just found this four years ago and was pleased to finally own one...

It's a C-movie. I've watched it more than once. Doesn't even happen in NYC but somewhere on the water on the west coast!
