Welcome to Original Comic Art Tips #247!! sorry for the late email… many things to see.
Heritage Weekly Auction: look at the prices! $13,2k and $10,2k for two terry dailies by Caniff, $10,8k for a Transformers page by Frank Springer, $9,6k for the Spidey cover by Humberto Ramos, $9k for the She-Hulk page by Byrne, $7,2k for the Byrne/ Romita Spidey, $7,8 for the Fly by Ditko, $2,9k for the Joker sketch by Bolland.
Heritage Signature Auction: after the $2,4M record for Frank Miller we talked about last week, we do a big jump down to $504k, which is a new record for Jim Lee and his triple Hush cover. (note that I’m only mentioning record prices, for lack of space). The X-Force (with Spidey) cover by Todd McFarlane went for $408k, then an interior art record for the DPS from the same issue, $204k. $228k is a new record for Mike Mignola, and a big jump up, with this Batman cover (well… Robin), I think the previous record was for a Hellboy cover sold for $52k lat year. Historical piece, but probably a top Batman cover would do a higher record. $180k for the early Batman cover by Kane/Robinson, this $132k DKR page almost doubled the previous Frank Miller panel page record, this pinup sold for $108k is probably the interior art Star Wars record.
Jim Lee makes another personal record, this Deathblow cover is the first Wildstorm piece to sell for more than $100k, probably also a first for Image comics, if I’m not forgetting a Walking Dead record price… $84k for a Sandman #1 page by Sam Kieth, $78k for George Perez, $55k for Marc Silvestri, $50k for Mike Ploog, $48k for the Daredevil page by John Romita Jr., $36k for a Cerebus #1 page, $34k Mark Texeira, $32k for Gabriele Dell'Otto, $31k for H.G. Peter (interior), $31k for Dave McKean (interior), $30k and $28k for Tony Moore, $19k for Simone Bianchi, $17k for Norm Breyfogle, $14k for Stephen Platt. All things considered, some very interesting sales, but in lower quantity compared to previous auctions.
Daniel Maghen Auctions: 1,5 Million Euros paid for this auction, with many pieces doubling/tripling the estimate. A Matteo cover by Gibrat went for an incredible €90k, an illustration for €53k, an interior page for €27k.
