Original Comic Art Tips #150 - Dell'Otto, Perez, Adams!

Welcome to #150 of Original Comic Art Tips!! I’ve been doing this thing every week for the last 150 weeks… 😱 as I usually write on anniversaries, if you enjoy this newsletter, the best way to help me growing it is by sharing an issue with your friends and on social media/groups/forums, and thanks for reading!

eBay: The Elfquest painting by Wendy Pini was sold for $4k, a sketch by Tim Burton was sold for $3,5k. I wouldn’t trust anybody but Tim Burton himself in selling me something like this, but I can’t say if its real or not.

I don’t know why the Skeleton Head illustrations by Mike Mignola were sold for such different prices, two were sold for $1,7k, and $1,5k, and they don’t seem better than the two sold for $960 and $940.

The Superman page by Jim Lee was sold for a pre-Covid-auctions price of $1,5k, somebody paid $2,7k for a 2 minute Jim Lee remark. One of the best nude girl pinups by Bruce Timm I’ve seen went for $1,1k, a TMNT page by Eastman/Laird went for $3,250.

Heritage Weekly Auction: no surprises, this week. The Steve Dillon Preacher page went for $3,6k, the Katzenjammer Kids Sunday by Knerr for $2,6k, the Frazetta sketch for $2,5k, a Doonesbury daily for $2,4k.

Classic Beetle Bailey strips continue to sell for very low prices, this Sunday went for less than $400, the nice Barney Google Sunday for less than $200.

ComicLink: the winner is George Perez with an Infinity Gauntlet page sold for $5,1k and one for $4,7k, the Gauntlet page by Ron Lim went for $4,8k.

The cover for Exiles #1 by Jeff Matsuda went for $4,4k, a Wonder Woman cover by Jenny Frison for $3,4k.

A Recreation by Carl Potts of a Punisher cover he did with Jim Lee went for $750, pretty high for a recreation. The Wolverine page by Joe Mad was sold for $1,6k.
