I got home today and besides checking to see if my copy of Batman Year One was still in the house (it was), I finally received a Rafael Albuquerque page from his digital Batman story that he wrote and drew. It looks so awesome. This is my second Albuquerque piece and definitely not my last.

In addition, I was sent a free Rafael Albuquerque Batman print. First time I ever purchased anything from Cadence Comic Art and I will buy again from Paolo. Great customer service.

I don't have a large scanner but here is the piece of art.

Oh, yes!! I have this one, the Booth Spider-man, and one more I am waiting on before I re-arrange my comic book room. Currently, I have most prints in frame. But I am going to move some things around.

Right now it is safe in my portfolio.

I recently received a Chris Burnham Batman Incorporated Page. And no, it isn't from issue 8. Those pages were way above what I was willing to spend. It is from Batman Incorporated 7, page 12. It a scene where Red Robin is escaping is escaping an exploding building. When I originally read the issue, I thought this action scene was very dynamic.

I have two more OAs coming this week and then I am taking a break from my wallet.  :D

Thanks.

Ok, this may seem excessive but Chris Samnee had a sale of Monday of pre-drawn sketches. Listening to the 11 o'clock guys, I knew that Chris Saminee doesn't sell original art and therefore having the opportunity to buy an original art from Saminee doesn't happen all the time, especially since I don't go to many cons. Therefore, I decided to try to buy a sketch. His sketches went very fast. My first choice, a Batman and Bane sketch was gone before I knew it.

That said, I was able to grab a fantastic Daredevil sketch. Daredevil is one of my favorite Marvel characters so I was very happy.

That would have been a perfect thing to post in this thread & give us a heads up about it!

(......nice Daredevil.....)

This was an interesting thing I found on eBay around Christmas. Obviously not a piece of Original art, but a interesting piece none the less.

I have recently been thinking about collecting original comic book art pages. Are there any specific reputable dealers (or non-reputable dealers) that you would recommend? Some of the prices can get crazy, but I have found some pieces online (http://splashpageart.comthat are reasonably priced.

Ya know, honestly I don't do the dealer search, other than Ted at Superworld comics, only because I know and trust him. I have a ritual of, whenever I go to a con, I like to walk away with a Golden age book and a piece of art so I just search for something that catches my eye. John and I have a mutual friend who collects Archie pages, he has a butt load of them but he gets them from all over. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
