Welcome! A regular summer week, with not much going on, but still there are a few nice pieces and some high sales.
Original Comic Art Auction Results
eBay: $10k for a Star Wars page by Scott Hepburn, advertised as an early Ahsoka appearance. $5k for three pieces by pioneers Outcault, Opper and Mayes, $4k (Best Offer) for a Graham IngelsEC page, $6,5k for the early Dennis the Menace panel ($1k less than the first try), $3,5k for a Michael ZulliWake splash.
Heritage Weekly Auction: unlikely $29k record price for Nick Cardy, with this Batman page, covers were selling for $15k until yesterday, let’s see if prices will be retouched. $11k for this cover to The Question by Denys Cowan, $7k for the top Spidey DPS by Alex Saviuk, I get this cover by Dan Jurgens is from a run beloved by Superman fans, but for $4k you only got a pair of well drawn glasses. $3k for a DP7-DPS by Paul Ryan, $1,9k was not high for this Wonder Woman commission by Adam Hughes. $500 seems very low for a perfect Gene ColanDracula page from an early issue… if only it hadn’t been given to Vince Colletta.
Comiclink Auctions: so, last week the website was not working. I read on facebook groups that it was hacked, don’t know if it’s true, but it looks like a 1998 website, I wouldn’t be surprised if it also had the security level of a 1998 website…
Top price for the premium session was $5k for a Thanos page by Ron Lim, $4k for a 7 page complete early DC story by Michael Golden, $4k for a Galactus splash by Alan Davis, $3,5k for a cover by J. Scott Campbell, $2k for a nice Moon Knight page by Texeira, $2k for a top Fantastic Four page by Paul Ryan, $2k for a Captain America page by Mike Zeck, $1k for a Spirit sketch drawn by Eisner for Stan Lee.
A couple page from a 1989 Catwoman mini by J.J. Birch are going high, there are three pages of Andy Owens inks over Bagley Spider-Man bluelines that are going very high.
Then the usual five pages of commissions, with a few gems here and there: a 1991 Spidey sketch by Bagley is going high, a 1979 Iron-Man by Perez, Conan by Jusko, a beautiful Thalia painting by Stelfreeze.
Heritage Matt Baker Auction
Not many original art pages in this auction, this is probably the best one, but if you have time go and look at the comic book covers drawn by Baker in this auction. This one is also funny.
See you next week!!
