Welcome to #217 of Original Comic Art Tips! A Poison Elves cover for $1,8k. Not 100% sure but this quick Batman sketch by Frank Quitely seems original and went for a crazy $1k. The Batman/Catwoman charity pinup by Cliff Chiang for $800, a nice Superman page by Lee Bermejo went for a Best Offer lower than $2k.
Heritage Weekly Auction: the Brandy pinup by Frank Cho went for $7,2k, the commission by Adam Hughes for $4,8k, a full team Excalibur appearance took this Clandestine page by Alan Davis to $3,8k.
Heritage Signature Auction: the $408k paid for the cover to Dr. Strange #1 by Frank Brunner is the culmination of a well-built operation started in 2019, with bigger pieces auctioned each time for higher price records. $312k for the Origins of Marvel Comics cover by John Romita, $210k for the 13-page origin of the Mandarin story by Don Heck, the cover to Joker #1 by Dick Giordano went for $120k, let’s see what will happen for future sales, with iconic Giordano Batman covers usually going for $5-15k. The gap between published and unpublished art is reducing for certain artists, look at this Wonder Woman by Adam Hughes sold for $14k. What happened to Jae Lee‘s Hellshock? Nostalgic '90s ex-kids? The cover to #1 went for $52k, the complete issue and cover for #2 sold for $66k. HA record prices for: Al Feldstein, with $132k, MAD covers by Norman Mingo, $48k, $40k for this Amazing Spidey cover by Mark Bagley is a Heritage record but still far from the $62k record made by the cover to #361 in March on Comiclink. $38k for Bob Hall, but with an exceptional piece, $31k for this cover is a record for Spectacular Spidey original art by Sal Buscema, $28k for Lee Elias.
Catawiki: the highest price in the Franka auction was €3,1k for the cover of the latest album, a page for €1,1k, an illustration for €1,1k, a magazine cover for €900. A Rubine page by Dragan De Lazare went for €2,8k.
