Welcome to #234 of Original Comic Art Tips!
eBay: the Man-Thing illustration for charity by Mike Mignola was sold for $4,1k, much less than last week’s $10k Wolverine. Not the best Teen Titans page by George Perez but it went for $4,5k, a very nice X-23 cover by Adam Kubert for $3,5k. The Daredevil color guide over a Frank Miller DPS went for $2k, color guides are becoming real collectibles very quickly, while I personally would not spend a single dollar on them…
Millon: very high results for Franquin, with €60k paid for the Gaston page (still no link), the sketch by Jacobs for €21k, the Hergé prelim for €25k, the Manara cover for €6k, the Spider-Man by Dell'Otto for €3,1k and more.

500 lots from the John Cullen Murphy archives, most are Prince Valiant strips. He saved many (all?) of the layouts Hal Foster sent him along with page scripts, a good opportunity for the many collectors who can’t afford a published Foster page. The layouts are detailed enough to recognize Foster’s style, the earlier pages are at the same time sketchier but still show a firm hand, (like this and this one) the later pages are more detailed, and often signed too, but you can see the declining quality (see this, this, and this one). There are some matching Foster/Murphy lots too, like this beautiful example with a pencil layout and an ink wash prelim by Foster and an incredibly detailed finished Murphy page. See you next week!!
