A Tarzan page by Sal Buscema, a Tarzan cover painted by Mike Grell, Avengers by Simone Bianchi, a Spirit sketch by Eisner.

Weiss Auctions

The best Joe Kubert covers in Weiss’ hands are all gone by now, but they still have many great interior pages, like this Unknown Soldier DPS, rare Batman art, Sgt. Rock title pages, a splash and two complete Punisher issues.

Peanuts strips (one, two), a Dragon Lady strip by Caniff, some top Russ Heath pages, some by Kinstler.

Many Golden Age complete stories as usual, this one stands out for quality, probably because the splash seems signed by Dan Barry.

Heritage International Signature Auction part 2 of 2

The best pieces were in the first half of the catalog… A Conan page by John Buscema, Starman by Ditko, Excalibur by Alan Davis, a Punisher cover by Tim Bradstreet Doomsday Clock original art by Gary Frank and a Harley page by Matteo Scalera.

Based on recent sales, this Spawn and Shadowhawk splash by Jim Valentino should go for a very high price.

This Thor page by Ron Frenz was offered every week on eBay until a couple of months ago and always went unsold, weird to find it again (and so soon) into a top auction.

1943 Mickey daily by Gottfredson, a nice illustration by Moebius.
