Original Comic Art Auction Results:
eBay: The Wolverine page by Mike Mignola was sold for “only” $2,9k, probably because it was considered a parody, but the art was great. The X-Men splash by Jim Lee was taken off eBay when bids were over $10k. Outside offer? The cover to Captain America #120 by Gene Colan was sold for $25k, a Superman cover by Ross Andru for a $7,5k Best Offer, the Mr. Freeze commission by Jim Lee was finally sold for $3,9k.
Heritage Weekly Auction: I briefly hoped I could win the Bringing Up Father illustration, instead it was the highest-priced item of the week, ending at $6,6k. A Blum/Baker Golden Age splash went for $6,3k, the Nancy strip for $5,5k. I know they’re rare, but I just discovered that many collectors want Connie original art by Frank Godwin, a half Sunday went for $5,4k. The Howard the Duck page by Colan went for $4k, the Spidey half splash by John Byrne for $3k, the Terry daily by Caniff for $3,1k. I’m always surprised by Johnny Hazard‘s early strips going for very low prices, this time a daily went for $3,1k. The 1933 Blondie daily for $2,8k, the top On Stage Sunday for $2,6k, a 1936 Gasoline Alley went for $2,4k, another surprising price, the Don Newton Shazam splash went for $2,2k.

I first heard of Pete Millar‘s '60s Drag Cars magazines many years ago by reading the Alex Toth “One for the Road” book. Original art from these magazines seems pretty rare, Hakes is auctioning Millar’s archives. Some nice pieces by Toth too, all complete 1-page stories: A/Gas, Lovelife, Two of a Kind, and A/Gas again, that was sadly inked by somebody else (signed T+E, so probably Dennis Ellefson). See you next week!!
