A large, bloated sumo-wrestler Jerry, done in the heyday of one of the best artists ever in the history of comics. A couple condition issues,
but still a great Neal Adams piece from his prime period at DC, for a fraction of what you'd pay for any of his superhero art.

| Animal Man #2
| | cover
| | published by DC Comics
| | October, 1988
| | SOLD to a good home
|
|
The Grant Morrison issues of Animal Man were
some of the best comics ever written. Morrison took an old, silly character that most people had
forgotten about (assuming they had ever heard of him to begin with), and updated the character
to be one of the most relevant heroes of the 80's. If you haven't done so, pick up the TPB which
reprints the first 9 issues. Then you'll be hooked, and you'll want to hunt down the
remainder of #1-24.
Brian Bolland is one of the finest cover artists of the last couple decades. As I understand it,
his work is now done digitally, which means these actual old pen-and-ink covers are getting scarcer
and scarcer, as they disappear into the hands of private collectors who rarely part with them.

QUICK! What are Marvel's greatest epic sagas of the silver age and early bronze age? If you grew up on
these Marvels, then you probably mentioned either the first Silver Surfer/Galactus saga, or the Kree/Skrull war.
This storyline was one of the finest Marvel ever created. How did the Kree/Skrull war begin? Here it is, true believer!
A Kree sentry shows up to put Captain Marvel on trial. How'd you like to own a page from the opening shot of the
Kree/Skrull war?

This strip is
the precursor to Liberty Meadows, and introduces Dean and Brandy and many of the usual Liberty
Meadows regulars. Yes, this is Frank Cho original art with Brandy prominently featured. Feast your eyes
and turn green with envy, Monkey Boy.
Frank's Liberty
Meadows is an absolutely hysterical strip, which is collected regularly into the Liberty Meadows
comic book. If you aren't familiar with it, do yourself a favor and pick up the comic, and see
today's strip at www.LibertyMeadows.com.
According to Frank Cho, only about 20 University Squared strips exist. The remaining ones were
destroyed by Frank himself.
As valuable as vintage Frank Frazetta art from early in his career is, imagine just what it would be worth if there were only 20 pages of
it in the world? Ponder that as you consider adding this page to your collection...

Michael Golden was one of the finest artists of the late 70's and early 80's. He is probably best
known for his Micronauts work, which was breathtaking. But for my money, his art got even
better when embellished with the fine lines that Terry Austin's inks added. This is from my all-time
favorite Star Wars story, which was a one-shot filler issue just prior to Marvel's adaptation of
The Empire Strikes Back.
This art is framed, and although I gave the framer specific instructions regarding how this should be archivally framed,
I have reason to believe that this art may be fully mounted to a piece of foam core board within the frame.

layout and text blurbs. One notation in the margin indicates that one of the cops on

| | Unpublished by Marvel Comics
| | Circa 1972
| | $95

This is an original sketch of a suggested cover to Conan #6,
on the back of Stan Lee's flimsy paper stationery. I'm not certain of the artist. This doesn't
appear to be by Smith, and MyComicArt.com visitor Jeremy Radisich was kind enough to point out that this is likely by Marie Severin.
Jeremy indicates that Marie's job was to come up with proposed cover layouts for cover layouts for newbies such as Smith and industry
veterans like Jack "King" Kirby as well. The art style on Conan's face is similar to
other such sketches Marie did, and the logo handwriting looks like Marie's.
Altough the art indicates it's for Conan #6, I'm guessing that this is the first proposal for Smith's artwork
to Conan #9. Conan appears to be dangling and stabbing at something. Take a look at the published covers to Conan #6 and #9 and see what
you think.
