Original comic book art

Do you know of any reliable places to get Comic Book Art.

How much should a piece by Joe Simon or Jerry Robinson go for?

One that they personally drew. Not one that is a lithograph.

I believe both artists did a lot of conventions before they passed.

Re: Original comic book art

Shamelessly stolen from the Eleven O'Clock Comics message board. The commentary is from Jason Wood:
  • Albert Moy -- One of the longest running OA vendors, he's got a collection that ranges into the very high end stuff
  • Anthony's Collectibles -- Another one of the legends, Anthony Snyder, who sells boatloads of OA ranging in price from cheap to uber expensive
  • Art & Comics Original -- Pretty sure he's mainly a re-seller, but some interesting pages including a lot of European and Latin American artists
  • The Art of Comics -- Another primary rep for show faves the likes of Mahmud Asrar, Bryan Hitch, Khoi Pham and Yildiray Cinar
  • The Beguiling -- Amazing rep specializing in indie and small press creators. Includes Ba/Moon, Becky Cloonan, Paul Pope, Jason, Jeff Lemire, Kagan McLeod and many more!
  • The Artists Choice -- Spencer Beck's site featuring a massive collection of repped artists including Coipel, McNiven, Romita Jr, Epting, Cheung
  • Big Wow Art -- Another great selection of pages. It appears he's a rep for a few artists exclusively but most of his stock is secondary.
  • Black Line Fever -- An admittedly annoying old school HTML website design, but if you can get past that he has some amazing pieces for sale/trade including some legendary indie/underground stuff
  • Cadence Comic Art -- A personal show fave that reps the likes of Mike Norton, Gabriel Hardman, Ryan Stegman, Rafael Albuquerque, Tom Fowler, Declan Shalvey, Khary Randolph, and MANY more!
  • Comic Art Collective -- A hub for finding original art from many alternative comic creators, takes you directly to their creator sites
  • Comic Art House -- Site with collection of artists including some (like Andy Tong and Chris Moreno) that I haven't seen featured at other spots
  • Comic Art Ink -- Barrows, Benjamin, Boschi, Tocchini, Guara
  • ComicArtShop -- A hub that does a nice job of highlighting OA art available for sale at places like eBay and Heritage and via classifieds
  • ComicBook-Art.com -- A site that caters to some of the forgotten stalwarts of the bronze age including Keith Pollard, Arvell Jones, Frank Springer and Herb Trimpe
  • Comic Book Art Gallery -- Not the best looking site,but he reps Mike Perkins and sells lots of other art,too
  • Comic Book Pros (Alex Ross Art) -- Uncle Sal's site where he sells Alex Ross' art exclusively as well as reps Bill Sienkiewicz, Angel Medina, Texeira and Ernie Chan
  • Comic Con Art -- Exclusive rep for Ed Benes and a host of other artists including Andre Pepoy and Tony Akins
  • Dave Karlen Art -- Reps the likes of Eduardo Barreto and Butch Guice
  • Cool Lines Art -- Broad based rep who re-sells art from all eras
  • Distinctive Original Art -- Another old school website that could use some updating, but he has great pages for sale from the likes of Byrne, Alan Davis, Pacheco, Ploog, Rude, Grell and others
  • Essential Sequential -- Home of Sean Murphy, Eric Canete, Mark Chiarello, Matteo Scalera, Dave Johnson, Stephane Roux and others
  • Fanfare Sports & Entertainment -- Michigan based store that sells all kinds of merchandise, but has a HUGE collection of secondary original art for sale too, including Stuart Immonen
  • Fog City Art Exchange -- Very small site but noteworthy in that it appears to be the rep for Art Adams
  • Got Super Powers? -- Mike Allred and other goodness
  • Graphic Collectibles -- I've never used this site but they have a ton of different pages from lots of artists and the prices vary from very affordable to super high end
  • Koch ComicArt -- Wide variety of art ranging from comic books to strips to indie stuff
  • KwanChang.com -- Another site I just recently discovered. He is the exclusive rep for Leinil Yu, but has lots of secondary pages for sale on top of that
  • The Interior Pages -- Jason Palmer, known as Frank Castle to many on the comic forums, is building up a nice roster of talent including Joe Eisma, Rahsan Ekedal and our very own Steve Bryant
  • Lewis Wayne Gallery -- Lewis Wayne Gallery is a high end dealer who carries everything from comic art to pulps to vintage original movie art. In spite of being a jack of all trades, Lewis Wayne has an EXCEPTIONAL collection of classic comic art, ranging from the EC greats to MAD Magazine original pages to the likes of John Buscema, Ernie Colon and John Severin.
  • McConnell Art -- Relatively new OA dealer in Canada focused on a number of local indie creators like Marion Churchland and Brandon Graham. Also happens to be the host of the InkStuds podcast.
  • More Great Art -- Set up shop on ComicArtFans and acts as the rep for the likes of Clayton Henry, Robert Atkins, Jason Pearson, Jonboy Meyers, Tyler Kirkham and Mike Henderson.
  • The Mighty Nib -- Not as active in their promotion and harder to find, but I came across them when Paul Pelletier told me he was repped by them. Also reps Nick Bradshaw, Brian Stelfreeze, Georges Jeanty, and others
  • Nostalgic Investments -- Carries VERY high end comic art, in the tens of thousands of dollars
  • Red Sector Art -- Just discovered this site when looking for Eduardo Risso art. He reps Risso and a handful of other European artists
  • Rojay's Original Art -- The site is a bit old school in look and feel, but there's a lot of interesting original art available, both new and old. Rojay is a re-seller, and has something that probably appeals to every collector
  • Romitaman Original Art -- Claims to be the largest original art dealer in the world, and certainly it's hard to argue against it. Has a MASSIVE collection of secondary art from some of the very best to ever work in the business. Deals in pricier stuff so few "bargains" here
  • Scott Eder Art -- Deals in indie comic artists including the likes of Johnny Ryan, Peter Bagge and Milo Manara
  • Serendipity Art Sales -- Broad collection of art including some artist alley faves
  • SplashPageArt -- Reps a boatload of artists including Adlard, Ottley, Cliff Chiang and Jock

Also, if you're into podcasts, the Eleven O'Clock Comics podcast is easily the best comics related podcast around.

If you have a spare $100,000 or so laying around, there is some fantastic Alex Ross original art on eBay.

Re: Original comic book art

Love those links! Thanks.

Yes, as a matter of fact I do have a couple hundred thousand under my mattress. I'm going to get 3 Alex Ross original art.

I saw $75 and $50 lithos of Jerry Robinson art. With his signature. Is that good or bad?

It depends on if you like Jerry Robinson or not.

Re: Original comic book art

I went to SplashPageArt to get my Walking Dead pages a few years ago. Not sure if they hiked them up or not, but most stuff was in the $120 range.

Re: Original comic book art

I collect original artwork as well. I've gotten some real bargains at The Artist's Choice. The site appears outdated by today's web standards but don't let that fool you. Also, we're approaching the time of year where the owner will run a sale where original art will go as much as 50% off the listed price.

One site to stay away from is Cool Lines Art. The brothers that run that site are notorious for buying art then flipping it for multiple times what similar art goes for. They are also extremely inconsistent in the prices quoted to different people on the same piece.
