Comic Art

Original Art for a Judomaster Story from Blockbuster/Comics Cavalcade Weekly #4 (Unpublished) by Frank McLaughlin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Original Art from Lady Death The Wild Hunt #3 (Unpublished) Page 15 Pencils by Jim Cheung

Price: $320.00


2000s

Unpublished likely due to Crossgen's bankruptcy, this page is interesting as the last two panels appear to have been inked with different supplies, if not by a different artist. Pencil and ink on Crossgen comic art board. 11" x 17".

Unused Cover Art for The First #7 (2001) Pencils by Bart Sears, Inks by Andy Williams

In auction ending April 18

2001

A strong image of Gannish the Sufferer from fan-favorite Bart Sears and Andy Smith for a cover that could have been! The image selected for the published cover has a completely different tone with the character breaking through an energy barrier as opposed to the full figure seen here. Signed by the artists. Pencil and ink on Crossgen Comic art board.
