Todd McFarlane - Amazing Spider-Man

When Heritage and Comiclink previewed their November/December auctions I spied about 10 pieces of art that peaked my interest. I turned to ebay to raise funds to go after a few of the pieces. My strategy still is to pick a value for a piece of art and to try not to go over that amount. The strategy causes me to miss out on a fair number of pieces, but as we know there is always more art to be had.

In the Heritage auction, I won the 2 JLA Pieces by Howard Porter. That still left me with bank to go after 1 or 2 of the pieces in comiclink. All but one of those pieces quickly got beyond what I thought was a fair value for the art. That left this piece standing. And there was no way I was going to get it based on what I was bidding and where I expected it to end. Well, fate, luck, karma, something was with me as I won. I chalk some of it up to a lot of people selling their McFarlane art to capitalize on the huge prices for recent cover sales. To that I say - excellent because I think it helped me land this page.

So without further ado, here it is - let me know your thoughts and comments.



One of the neat aspects of the page is the hidden Felix that McFarlane worked into every issue.


And with that, I am only waiting on my New Year's Eve purchase and to pick up my Rags commission and 2013 will be in the books.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Nah just kidding, what a score. You own a McFarlane Spidey page that is a fantastic score.

Classic McFarlane style Spidey action! Plus there can't be too many full figure Paladin pieces out there that were done by Todd. Congrats!
