A couple of weeks back I attended a live auction which contained a large collection of comic books, statues, action figures, and other miscellaneous items. I will be doing a full write up soon on it...just been a busy few days.
In the meantime I wanted to share one of the pieces of Original Comic Book Art I was lucky to snag. This is a beautiful page from Action Comics #648 which came out in December of 1989. Its penciled by Kerry Gammill . It features Metallo, Lex Luther, & the man himself, Supes!! Really awesome piece and I’m extremely happy with what I paid for it.
The color is how it looks on the comic book. So cool to see them side by side. Color page looks a bit off but it’s all I could find. Courtesy of https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Action-Comics-1938/Issue-648?id=25920
I bought a few pages of OA there and I’ll do this for all of them just to make it fun.
Let’s have some fun...
FIRST PERSON TO UPVOTE THIS POST & COMMENT BELOW WITH THE CORRECT PRICE THAT I PAID ON THIS GETS 2 SHARES OF @steembasicincome!!! NO CHEATING WITH EDITING!!! ONE GUESS PER PERSON. AS SOON AS THE CORRECT NUMBER IS GUESSED I WILL ANNOUNCE IT IN THE COMMENTS.
Just guess a price (Solid dollar amount, no change) and I’ll be checking. First person to get it right wins! I have my receipt that I can provide in the comments for proof.
Please consider an Upvote on my contests as I give away a decent amount of prizes. Upvoting on these is important as it allows me to continue to do these. Thank you!
This is the fourth one of these. To see the first one, check here!!

Lol. That’s kinda what’s keeping me going with these. I’m having a blast finding some fully ones. I’m always afraid someone is gonna get offended. Lol. If you see a vulgar one...just know I know that person. Lol
Glad you are in. I do contests fairly often. Prizes are t huge. A few @steembasicincome here and there but they add up. I’ve probably won about 12 shares myself by participating in things like this. Looking forward to your participation in my next one!!! Thx for playing!

Gammil was one of my favorites, just an amazing illustrator. For reasons I could never understand he never got the popularity of a Byrne or Perez. Even withstanding his lesser fans base...this being an action page with a major character and villian should be pretty costly (although it being in an auction is a wild card...early stuff at auctions can sometimes be gotten for a steal)...I will guess 350.00

Yeah the comic industry is odd in that who it promotes to stardom. I don’t get it either. Plenty of amazing talent that never really got the recognition they deserved. That’s life I guess.
As for your guess...
Lol. I’m loving finding all these different gifs. Lol
