Original Unused Cover Art for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #14B (2012) by Kevin Eastman

Price: $4,500.00


from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2011 IDW) 14B
2012

It doesn't get better than this for TMNT fans! All four Turtles, Master Splinter, April, and Casey Jones all on one page drawn by creator Kevin Eastman! Atmosphere just drips off this page thanks to Eastman's heavy, blocky inks and clever use of ink splatter. Initially drawn as a variant cover, the piece was redrawn for final publication by Eastman to remove April and Casey and add some decoration to the sewer at the request of editorial. Also included is a copy of the published issue signed and remarked by Eastman as well as copy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Time Capsule, a packet put together by Eastman that includes a signed photo and letter as well as reproductions of early TMNT art and materials. Includes a certificate sticker on the reverse signed by Eastman. Pencil and ink on comic art board. 11" x 17".

Original Art for a Judomaster Story from Blockbuster/Comics Cavalcade Weekly #4 (Unpublished) by Frank McLaughlin

Price: $300.00


1980s DC

An interesting artifact from DC's acquisition of Charlton, Blockbuster (as it's titled on the page) or Comics Cavalcade Weekly was intended to be an anthology showcase for the Charlton heroes who editorial did not think could support their own books. Further, the series would have also included reprints of the Superman Sunday strips to attract readers. The first issue of the series would have sported a cover by Dave Gibbons, who of course went on to co-create Watchmen which used the Charlton heroes as the basis for its main cast. This page from what was intended to be Blockbuster #4's Judomaster story sees Judomaster and Tiger wrapping up from last issue's adventure before shifting focus to the next threat- the rise of Swordmaker! Pencil and ink DC Comics art board. 11 1/4" x 16 1/2", B&W.

This page from what was intended to be Blockbuster #5's Judomaster story sees the criminal element that haunts the Geisha Gardens bar realize that maybe they should have joined up with Swordmaster when he asked the first time! Pencil and ink DC Comics art board with vellum overlay for the effects in the second to last panel. 11 1/4" x 16 1/2", B&W.

Original Art Unpublished Detective Comics Cover by Bo and Scott Hampton

In auction ending July 15

1990s

A beautiful, richly textured piece from the brothers Hampton that sadly did not see print! Likely intended for a story involving Poison Ivy, the Hamptons do a brilliant job of contrasting the iconic figure of the Batman, typically found in concrete jungles, with the all-consuming and ever cycling growth of plant life. Signed by the artists in lower right margin. Also included is a letter of authenticity from Bo Hampton indicating the provenance of the piece. The original buyer's name has been redacted from the letter by MyComicShop at their request. Pencil and ink on DC Comics art board. 11" x 17".

Wolverine/Gambit Tryout Pages by Mike Leonard

Price: $200.00


2000s

This pair of pages from Leonard is a great example of sequential action storytelling in comics with the first page's near splash of Wolverine leaping after a shadowy figure transitioning to the next page's close-in shots of a thrilling sequence of action. Pencil on art board. Both measure 11" x 17"
