Auction Results

Don Newton – Batman Original Art

Ebay: the Batman splash by Don Newton went for $2,300, the Dan De Carlo sexy illustration for $4,000, a talking heads Alpha Flight page by John Byrne was sold for more than $1k, maybe it’s an important scene in the run?

This Week on eBay

Mark Bagley – Spider-Man Splash Page Original Art

Lots of Spiderman pieces this week, look at this splash by Mark Bagley, the price is not as bad as it seems… Scarlet Spider Vs. Spiderman 2099 by the same artist, very nice Ryan Ottley page from the current series, one from #800 by Stuart Immonen, cheap page with Spiderman and other heroes by Ed McGuinness, Ron Frenz cover recreation, a Kraven sketch by Mike Zeck and I like this 90’s page by Chris Marrinan.

Since we’re here there’s also a sketch by Stan Lee and an incredibly ugly FAKE Romita Sr. sketch with a lot of bids.

Some real Iron-Man pages by Romita Jr.: one, two and three. This Dale Keown Hulk page is ending in a few hours. Wolverine by Marc Silvestri, U.X-Men full team page by Chris Bachalo, Gene Colan Howard the Duck and Hulk by Herb Trimpe.

DC: A Jim Lee commission sketch is at $1k these days, so the price for this official DC merchandise piece is not off. Batman Original art page by Norm Breyfogle, Tony Daniel, Don Newton and Don again.

Wonder Woman by John Byrne, JLA by Starlin and a Bryan Hitch DPS.

Art Adams illustration, some early Sean Murphy pages, a splash from The Filth by Chris Weston and a Dawn painting by JM Linsner.
