The following art was stolen this last weekend in NYC.

I have filed a police report and checked with local lost and
founds and have yet to track the portfolio down. I also
alerted all the local comic shops for them to be on the lookout.

The portfolio contained the following pages:

Oh that sucks same thing hapenned to the guy at Anthony's collectibles. Did you leave it un attended at your booth or did you just leave some where else. Do you have it insured.

You know I almost broght my Spider-Woman #1 Cover to Wizard World LA to have Stan Lee sign it. I'm glad I didn't I might have lost track of it getting Ryan Renoylds autograph. I was thinking about taking all of my New Avenger art with me next time Finch is somewhere. But it's just not a good idea is it.

There were some very nice pieces there. Sorry for your loss and I hope you get them back

Aarrgghh!! · 05-14-2005, 08:46 AM

Let's hope it was a mistake like the Linsner art that was taken in Pitts a few years back, doesn't sound like it, but we can hope.

furie · 05-14-2005, 12:33 PM

g-man -- sorry bro - hope it gets returned.

Teague · 05-14-2005, 02:49 PM

Wow, g-man, that really hurts. Best of luck in getting those pieces back, man. Let us know how it goes.

Theres always a chance of finding them. Because it's not like they can sell them openly or you will know who has it. Did you know that if someone buys one of the pages that does not know there stolen. If that person buys it and later tries to sell it or lists it on their Internet site. They have to return it to you because they are in possesion of stolen property.

Guys, I don't think the stolen art belonged to G-man. It looks like he was posting this as a service to "Mark" and to let folks here know about it.
