A quiet week with no event auctions, doesn’t happen often lately… see the new ComicLink auction results and Byrne pages on eBay.

Original Comic Art Auction Results

eBay: $5k for a page from #1 of Harbinger by David Lapham. Look what a movie can do: the cover to #1 of a 2022 D&D cover by Tim Levins went for $4,5k (probably a record for the artist), $4k for a Morlock cover by Rich Buckler, $2,5k for a Peach Momoko illustration.
$2,3k for the Ka-Zar half splash by John Buscema, three Conan pages were sold for a $2,2k Best Offer, very good deal, another page went for $950.

$2,2k for the Hulk cover by Ron Wilson, $2,1k for a Blackmark page by Gil Kane, $2k for a Daredevil page lightboxed by Janson over Frank Miller pencils, a Hellboy mug design by Mike Mignola was sold for $2,5k (B.O.), but the seller has a habit of putting pieces for sale again after a few weeks, let’s see.

$1,7k for a page by Vaughn Bode, $1,2k for a Witchblade sketch by Michael Turner, %1k for a very nice Crow illustration by James O’Barr.

High prices for the Joe Quesada commissions, $2,8k, $1,9k, $1,3k.

Many good deals (but I stopped looking after page 4 of 13, prices were already down at $300). $2k for an X-Men DPS by Terry Dodson, I wanted to bid on this Spidey 2099 page by Leonardi, but thought it would go for much more than $1,2k… $900 for a Batman page by Don Newton, $600 for a Spidey Sunday by Paul Ryan, $400 for a Superman page by John Byrne with a tiny Superman in one panel, $350 for a TWD commission by Tony Moore, $300 for a Wolverine commission by Matteo Scalera.

Who wants to bet with me that this $400 Silver Surfer prelim by John Romita will soon be on eBay at $1k?
This Iron-Man commission by JRJR looks like one of those sold last year for $2k… it ended for $300.
