Welcome to #166 of Original Comic Art Tips! Auction Results:
Heritage Signature Auction: the highest price was for the cover to U. X-Men #268 by Jim Lee, sold for $300,000, a record price for Lee but reached with one of the most iconic covers of the ‘90s. The 40th Peanuts daily ever was sold for $192k, a rare and exceptional piece that makes the record for Peanuts prices on HA. The second highest price for a daily was $107k in 2018, the third, again from 2018 was sold for “only” $45k.
Heritage Weekly Auction: the winner was Jack Kirby with the Sky Masters daily sold for $5,7k, the Irv Novick Batman splash went for $5k, the Norm Breyfogle one for $3,1k. An obscure/overlooked strip that was an inspiration to Crumb is selling for a high price, the same strip was sold two years ago for ½. I’ll keep an eye open. The signed Ditko title page for $1,4k was a good catch, and also the Romita Jr. Batman page sold for $660, the 1934 Gasoline Alley daily for $400, and a Hawk & Dove DPS by Rob Liefeld for the same price.

Marvel: Rogue and Wolverine commissions by Jim Lee for charity, the Wolvie was already sold at the end of October for $5,8k, probably the buyer flaked.

After a few months I have a new article up on the comicart.tips website, it’s the first ever guest post, written by the collector better known as Rabid Ferret. The owner of a magnificent collection, explains to us a smart research technique (Jim Lee original art was used as an example, but it works with every artist). Thanks R.F.! Let me know what you think of it and please share! Thanx! Oh, and if you too have an idea for an article about our hobby, just reply to one of these newsletters…
