Welcome to #122 of Original Comic Art Tips! Big results on ebay, and some nice new pieces here and there.

eBay: the New Mutants splash by Rob Liefeld went for $6,800 and the Deadpool/Cable cover for $6,100, the original Venom cover by Tyler Kirkham went for $6,100, the Captain America cover by Mike Allred for $1,500, the X-Men cover by Mike Mayhew for $1,300, 3 pages of Wonder Woman art by Jose Delbo for $1,500, an Hellboy bust by Mike Mignola for $1,200.

An unfinished Wolverine splash by John Buscema went for $2k, a Spider-Man page by Gil Kane for $2k again, the Wonder Woman cover by Warren Louw for a $3,250 best offer.

Two nice Superman pages by Gil Kane went for pretty low prices, one for $270 and one for $290. A Demon page by John Byrne went for $150 and a Superman cover by Pat Gleason for $350. The Adam Hughes Wonder Woman illustration is still going.

Heritage Weekly Auction: a 5 page Archie story by Dan De Carlo was sold for $4,800, the Sky Masters daily by Jack Kirby for $3,800. Hagar Sundays are getting scarce, this one went for $2,300, prices for Garfield dailies are fluctuating again, this week we’re down to $660.

This is one of those weeks when I hate myself for not following my own advice, many grea pieces went for low sums: I’d love to own a Werewolf page by Tom Sutton, this splash was perfect for only $660… that great Secret Wars page by Al Milgrom went for the same price. A 1945 Li'l Abner Sunday went for $450, the Robin page by John Byrne went for only $240, the Superman splash by Dave Taylor for $200, a Batman page by Garcia Lopez for $190 and that great Batman original by Cam Kennedy for $180.
