Comic Book Art for Sale

Most original art won't entirely fit on my scanner, so many of these pictures are digitally pasted together from two or more scans. I did my best to hide the cut and paste lines whenever possible. If you have questions about the condition of a page of art, please let me know.
NEAL ADAMS
Jerry Lewis #104
Page 29
Published by DC Comics
$350
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.

$150
Bendis? You mean the writer? Yes, that Brian Michael Bendis, who started out as a writer/artist doing some phenomenal crime noir stuff like this.
BRIAN BOLLAND
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.

PAT BRODERICK Broderick pic
Captain Marvel #56

published by Marvel Comics
May, 1978
$350
Simply stunning artwork from Pat Broderick. He combined the smooth flowing curves of Wrightson with the intergalactic sparkle of Starlin for a style that was all his own.
SAL BUSCEMA
Avengers #90
page 2
published by Marvel Comics
July, 1971
$950
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 had an intriguing storyline and great Chaykin art. And where else do you get the phrase, "Jesus f*ck a sh*t souffle!"?

FRANK CHO
University Squared strip
pre-Liberty Meadows strip
Circa 1994
$11,995
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...

RIC ESTRADA
Phoenix #4
pages 2 & 3
Published by Atlas Comics
October, 1975
$195 (pair)
A Bronze Age apocalypse story from Atlas (Seaboard).
MICHAEL GOLDEN
Star Wars #38
page 16
published by Marvel Comics
August, 1980
inks by Terry Austin
$5995
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.

Lester gets a haircut. This series features anti-hero Lester Girls, who keeps getting sucked into numerous adventures even though all he wants to do is sit at home and read The Red Pony. Funny stuff!
GIL KANE

When Valiant was young and was pumping excitement into the comics industry like hadn't been seen in years, X-O was a huge it. This is the unused cover for issue number 1. Apparently, Jim Shooter preferred a less ticked-off looking barbarian for the cover.

cover prelim stat
Original published by Marvel Comics
May, 1971
$175
A piece of Marvel history. This is a stat of the original layout for Amazing Spider-man #96, the issue that marked the beginning of the classic drug story that the Comics Code Authority refused to approve. This stat gives some interesting insight into the planning process behind the cover layout and text blurbs. One notation in the margin indicates that one of the cops on the cover must be black, indicating Marvel's desire to present racial equality.

BARRY SMITH?
Conan #6
cover layout
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.

Recreation of the first ever appearance of the X-Men's most popular character, Wolverine. The real thing would cost thousands. Maybe even tens of thousands, if somebody were willing to part with it. This cost me a lot less, and looks really effing cool.
