Dread Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I know at least Mike has a collection and I'm considering getting into it as well. I am watching a page right now that is from my all time favorite Batman story but I think it's about $80 too expensive. I really want it and it is a really great page (without Batman though). My wallet is telling me "GOD NO!" but my heart is aching for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I really want to get into collecting original art, but unfortunately, my budget can only support comics right now. When I do have the available funds, my plan is to collect at least one page from every Grant Morrison story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how much Cameron Stewart wants for a head sketch at a convention, that way lies poverty, my friend. Let alone Quitely and all the painters he's worked with! I'm currently watching four auctions by this person who has three pieces of art from some of my all-time favorite comics so I've asked them to consider multiple purchases if I make a lowball offer on the over-priced Batman page. I mean really, it doesn't even have Batman or a recognizable villain on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Cameron Stewart's pages aren't too bad, $100-$150 for most of his Seaguy work. Quitely's are definitely a pretty penny, but to own a Quitely page would be fantastic. J.H. Williams III's prices surprised me the most at around $200. Of course those are the pencil and inked pages. The painted pages are gorgeously expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Uhm...Kirby? That's the end goal. I want to collect some, and sell it all for a Kamandi cover or something. Dreamy dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 This would probably be my grail right now. Sweet raping jesus! $3,000! You can get a world class hooker for that! Or 30 not bad hookers! Or, if you looked in the right place, 300! I want a hooker, and the original art for the cover of Batman 666, or the interior page with Damien screaming after Batman dies. But, I have nowhere to put them, or the budget right now, what with my love of hookers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prez Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 If you're looking for more than just comic art, can I make a suggestion? Last year, a local collector put together what is probably the best illustration convention in the world. Illuxcon Just about any great sci-fi or fantasy artist you can think of was there. I covered it for the newspaper - my articles are linked on the site - and I was amazed at the stuff that was there. It's expensive, but you'll probably never find a better collection or artists.

Dread Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'll post scans when i get them. There's no Spidey but I don't care. They're two consecutive pages from Spider-Man Redemption featuring Kaine and he kinda looks like Kraven so that's cool. I'll wait til Kaine returns and sell one methinks.

Dread Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Got me a Gene Colan page. I'm going to stop for a while now. Maybe try and get a profit out of one or two that I've got before buying anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
