British Comic Art Announces Some Sale Frank Goode Art, including original pencil art on the cover of the All-Star Superman Collection. Price is $50,000, As stated in the list,
The cover comes from Quility’s personal collection and is the last All-Star Superman cover he owns. Never sold it before.
All-Star Superman, written by Grant Morrison, was drawn Quitely, considered the greatest modern show of Superman and greatly influenced the upcoming James Gunn Superman movie. It’s also a Friday super character, so it seems like an organic time to sell this precise and popular artwork.
But it’s also a seemingly simple piece, a naked pencil sketch that illuminates the finished cover digitally. Some people think $50,000 is a lot of money for something like this. (Other covers are in the $15,000 range.)
and What surprised me wasthings have begun! Jimmy Palmiotti Start kicking, ask,
They asked for this pencil piece to be used as the cover and deal for All Star Superman – Frank quietly used as the cover and deal. I would love to hear your opinions.
Then he gave his own answer:
I think this is a future image. Therefore the cost is reasonable.
TL; DR: Of course it is worth the money. But this is not the case with many commenters on Twitter. I won’t quote them for them because they’re wrong. Sampling of other reviews by professionals.
Mark Brooks: My opinion – The value of art is what it means to the buyer and to the larger story. Picasso’s 4-line doodle on napkin can be taken out similar or more. I don’t charge by lines or strokes, I will charge by value.
Artists have value based on their work and reputation. The same can be said for a character or a subject. I could spend 80 hours painting a new character for independent books, but when it was sold it, it would pale compared to the Spider-Man cover I spent 15 hours on. Both will be purchased based on my name and reputation, but these will only go too far. Ultimately, what I want to draw will determine that value. My name and reputation are just the floor of my worth, not the ceiling.
Regarding this piece, frankly, it means his floor is already high. Combining it with its ceiling is the main image of the collective All-Star Superman running and you’ll get the answer. Ultimately, it’s what people are willing to pay. That’s its value.
Scott Snyder Throw In his 2¢: I understand that getting close to comics is an investment, and that’s not wrong, but the value of this book, for fans of this book, has nothing to do with the movie. For many fans, All-Star Superman is a masterpiece and groundbreaking moment in the comics. Its value is personal
White Tips Aditya Bidikar answer: Imagine the All-Star Superman who can frankly cover everything up, only valuable in his relationship with the movie.
but Nick Pitalthe artists of the Manhattan Project do on many other things Rest all this in peace:
Let’s end this debate.
Full disclosure, I am one of many art collectors, scrambling to get the history of this comic (Quility’s Rep, yes, this is straight from Quility) to try to get the history of this comic.
I think this All-Star Superman trade cover says not only it all, but it ends the conversation. While Grant and Vin wrapped around their famous run, Vin drew a final image that ended their story and Superman forever. This image.
I would start saying that I am endlessly fascinated by my stories across time and culture – the same structures wear different skins. It seems that they are these invisible, eternal boulders that exist outside of time and space, just waiting to be discovered and repainted. This gave me a glimpse of the small paper about All-Star Superman – Aka 2d Jesus.
Over the past few decades, thousands of creators have worked on Batman and Superman and have shortened them to bring them closer to what I think is their final form.
Batman, Frank Miller in The Dark Knight, returns: The most solid person who has roots. Don’t trust everything. Be prepared to cancel your friends if needed. Despair in a bleak world. It’s actually running in the darkness. As a completely important presence of Bruce Wayne. Totally fatal. Godless man.
Superman, All-Star Superman: The pure symbol of hope. Powered by the sun (light). From above. Essentially a God who lives humbly, knowing that his time on earth is limited. Whoever left until the murdered him was saved. He not only left strength, but also left a good example. His hope. His way.
This All-Star Superman Cover (especially when placed next to DKR #2) gives a clear contrast. There are about 70 years of myths that have been done through two Franks: Frank Miller’s inky courage, Graphite Grace from Frank Quite. Book these icons. Promote them to their final form.
What is my idea: How do we instinctively (and sometimes even unconsciously) know when Batman is like Batman? Or is Superman Superman? We all have it. it is known. Individually, collectively in some way. This is crazy to me.
Not only are thousands of creators, but also millions of fans. Readers support their favorite versions and runs and tell editors and publishers how they resonate through purchasing power. They help turn the story arc into evergreen myth. Fans and creators together attribute these characters to what they are now.
Miller deconstructs Batman into his tough, dark nature. Morrison and quit Superman’s last sacred form – Frank Quality actually had the ball, drawing it with just this sure final cover. This picture reminds me of those Jesus-like pictures hanging in Grandma’s kitchen. I like that.
Finally, I call the Return of the Dark Knight and All-Star Superman as bookends for these characters. Not because they are the versions that everyone likes, although for many, they are. My statement is: Whatever your favorite Batman or Superman is…it probably lives between these two books and these two images. These are myths – realized, completely formed.
Frank Miller sold nearly half a million units at the auction 11-12 years ago, and the comic art market has only entered the stratosphere since then.
Frank Quitely’s Superman Bookstop is available directly from the artist today 50k. Tell me again how this tear it apart.
Pitarra adds some examples about art. Sha Nazir added:
Totally agree that this is iconic. And Vins worth every penny. This is our page on this article’s publication.
Add to: Apart from its symbolism, it is one of the most well-known covers of the past 30 years. Defining the comic era
I should pay attention, We’ve been here before: People complain Jim Lee’s A commission fee of $20,000, although the resale value indicates that it is a reasonable price. Most importantly, art is worth the price people pay for it, but great art also has infinite value.
The other day, I mentioned the painter David Friedrich because I just saw his work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There is nothing like standing in front of a great work of art and letting its power communicate directly with you. Friedrich was a popular artist of the time and it was fashionable to draw crosses on the hills for a while. Can you imagine what it would be like to have something like this and walk around in your living room every day?
I won’t compare listings of Friedrich (his technique is great but drawn in a rather narrow genre), but he is also an excellent artist. His work has a quality that transcends boundaries and conveys some of the deepest emotions we can experience. This is super big. It was silent and thunderous, but still shattering. I just… Few artists can paint Superman as Jesus instead of making it a mean person, but the image of Quility resonates with our idea of Jesus and puts Superman in this case.
So if you ask me, $50,000 is cheap. This is a classic image that will always be one of the great Superman drawings. May it fall into the worthy hands!
British comic art by Joseph Melchior and provide art Dave Gibbons, Brian Bolland, Frank Quilly, Mark Buckingham and Duncan Fegredo. There are some good works out there, some relatively affordable. As I wrote about Jim Lee:
I suggest you go to the local scam to artist Alley to see who is the future superstar and add commissions when reasonable. Seriously, there are a lot of talented artists out there and it’s easy to get in the show. You can buy something beautiful and priceless in any comic or standalone comic show for under $100. Being able to obtain affordable primitive art is one of the great things in this industry. Enter the first floor. Daniel Warren Johnson A man who used to be a liar, but now his art has thousands If you can even find any.
Buy art and support artists. Put it on the wall and look at it so you can experience happiness every day. We need happiness.
