And here is a 5-page Betty & Veronica story by Rich Koslowski. I picked it up on eBay from Scott Eder for $50 (shipping included). I thought it a great deal at $10/page.....

Picked up these on eBay (same seller so I got to combine shipping):

Nice example of David Lapham's fine line work combined with some 2nd tier (but cool) Fables characters. Fables #92 page #12

And here's a Lapham page from Young Liars #6 page #7

I got this to have a nice example of Michael Zulli's art. He does such a great job on people & faces, I really liked this page, Seekers Into the Mystery #8 page #19:

I picked up these 2 Chad Hardin pages from DC's recent Spirit series from Catskill Comics.

Spirit #22 page 14, I love the image of Ellen Dolan in the bottom right panel:

Great page! Would love to get me some Bucky fables art. Esp. with Rose Red and Boy Blue if not Bigby and Snow. I have a soft spot for second tier characters.

love the line work in these. How awesome would it be to get an Eisner Spirit page? They are actually not super expensive.

Why is Green Arrow about to attack that nice lady? :shock:

I kid. Even though I'm not familiar with the book it's from, it's a beautiful page. And I really enjoyed the artist's work on The Traveller.

I saw a few at San Diego. Some dealer Scott showed me. I want to say they were like $5-700 a page -- definitely no more than $1200, which is crazy good when you consider the influence eisner had.

I really like the lettering in that Michael Zulli's page. I tend to like the original artwork a lot more with lettering on them. Nice additions to your art collection, Bob.

I agree. They feel more like a slice of a comic.
