Original Comic Art Tips - Issue #100

Welcome to #100 of Original Comic Art Tips! Some issues of this newsletter have been a couple days late, sometimes, but I never missed a week, even in the last months, which were the harder with my newborn baby… so if you enjoy this weekly email spread the word with your internet friends, and if you want to talk comic art with me just hit reply!

eBay A Superman splash by Curt Swan was sold for $7,250, the second Alan Davis Hero Initiative Avengers sketch cover went for more than $800, the George Perez Wonder Woman splash and the Paul Pope Swamp Thing page both went for $1,100. The Doomsday clock page by Gary Frank and the Superman #1 page by John Byrne are still going.
