Original Comic Art Auction Results

eBay: $4,7k for the (charity) Mandalorian illustration by Walt Simonson, one by Dan Brereton went for $2,5k, $3,6k for a Conan Sunday strip by Ernie Chan, $2,7k for the Conan pinup by John Buscema, the quick growth for Conan pages by Buscema and strips by Chan continues.

$2,5k for the Elric splash by P. Craig Russell, $2k for a Black Adam DPS by David Finch, $1,8k for a New Titans page by Perez, $1,8k for a SCUD page by Rob Schrab, $1,5k for a Preacher page.

Look at the great deal this collector got in a “private sale”: ten Hagar strips (one is a Sunday) by Dik Browne for $1,6k, worth at least $7k.

Heritage Weekly Auction: $5k for a vintage Spidey page by JRJR, $4k for a modern Spidey/Hulk page, $5k for a L&R page by Jaime, $4k for the Batman commission by Rogers, $4k for the Matt Baker pages, $3,6k for two Spidey pages by Saviuk, $3k for a DC page by Pacheco, $1,8k for the Silver Surfer splash and $1,7k for the Spidey 2099 page by Leonardi.

Catawiki: €2k for the illustration by Enrico Marini, €450 for a Rosso page by Micheluzzi, €700 for a pinup by Liberatore.

Heritage Signature Auction: not many record prices, this time or, to be honest, a few is more than enough… the Frazetta record price has gone up with this book/album cover painting sold for $6M, but it has nothing to do with comic art. Record price for Bill Sienkiewicz, with this New Mutants splash sold for $93k, $90k for Graham Nolan, or for the first appearance of Bane, all of the Bane pages in the auction were still owned by Nolan who earned more than $300k.

$20k for the Alex Toth JLA illustration, $16k seems too low to be a record for Frank Quitely, I probably forget a previous auction.
$250k is a Golden Age original art record for Jack Kirby, while $145k is his DC comic art record.

Many high prices as usual, but many went lower than expected, like a Spidey page by Ditko for less than $100k, a DKR page by Frank Miller for $65k, this Spidey cover by McFarlane is not that great, but $78k is still low, Little Nemo pages by McKay continue to go down, only $40k for a Sandman page by Kieth, $26k for a Spidey page by Larsen.

Many good deals if you had $5k to $30k to spend on a single piece, $15k for a nice X-Men page by Jim Lee, a little bit less for this page drawn in an earlier style but with the full team. A Batman cover by Gabriele Dell’Otto for $10k, no crazy prices for John Romita original art, look at this Marvel Universe illustration sold for $9k.
$4k for a top X-Factor page by Portacio, $5k for a Daredevil page by Sale, $2k for a modern Thanos page by Starlin, $1,2k for a nice Hulk page by Trimpe and many more.

Little Nemo Auction: €8,5k for a Corto Maltese strip by Pratt, €3k for a Cormorant page, €6k for an advertising illustration by Manara, €5,5k for a Pinocchio illustration by Jacovitti, €3k for a Moby Dick page by Battaglia, €2,5k for a Toppi illustration, €2k for a 1951 Steve Canyon Sunday.

Millon Auction: €8k for a Pistolet page by Uderzo, €5k for a Borgia page by Manara, €4k for a Jacobs sketch, very high €3k for a 2009 Garfield Sunday, €3k for a page by Marini, €2k for the Serpieri prelim.
