This Gene Day cover to Marvel Premiere #59 (1981) features Doctor Who encountering the alien Brains Trust. This story was published during the period when actor Tom Baker was playing the Doctor on the TV series and the cover features his likeness. Day was a fine artist who sadly passed away when he was very young.Marvel Premiere #57 though #60 presented adventures originally created for Marvel UK to an American audience. With the exception of a single Dell one-shot during the Silver Age, this was the first time Doctor Who appeared in American comic books.

Simon Bisley illustrated this sensational Slaine illustration in mixed media on heavy illustration paper. This colourful example of Bisley’s work features a highly detailed battle scene. This large piece looks amazing in person.

The cover to Excalibur #62 (1993) by the esteemed team of Alan Davis and Mark Farmer. We see X-Men member Nightcrawler during the period in which he moved to England to join Excalibur for several years. The usually jolly Nightcrawler looks unusually intense as he engages in battle with the alient warpies. Both Nightcrawler and the Davis/Farmer team have devoted followings, which should lead to some active bidding around this awesome offering!
Davis had his first big break working on Captain Britain stories for Marvel UK in in the early 1980s. Starting in the late 80s, Davis teamed with acclaimed X-Men writer Chris Claremont to incorporate Captain Britain and his supporting cast, including his girlfriend Meggan, into the the X-Men spin-off book, Excalibur. This was a major title published in the U.S. to leverage the huge popularity of comic book’s #1 franchise of the era, the X-Men. Popular X-Men team members Kitty Pryde and Nightcrawler were relocated to Great Britain for several years to appear in the title.

This is the first ever published page of Gene Colan Daredevil artwork! Published in 1966, it’s a rarely available, prime-era “Twice-up” Silver Age Daredevil title splash with a strong image of DD in action! On it, we see a classic image of Daredevil swinging in on a crime scene through an open window. Starting with the issue featuring this title splash, #20, Colan became the primary artist on Daredevil all the way through #100, missing only four issues along the way! He would return to the title for two additional shorter runs in the late 1970s and late 1990s. So, this is quite a significant piece.

Jack Kirby returned to his epic New Gods feature in 1984 when DC repackaged his original 11 issues from 1971-1973 as a deluxe six-issue mini-series with new covers by Kirby. This cover to New Gods #2 (1984) covered the reprinting of the original issues #3 and #4, which included #3’s introduction of the Black Racer, one of the DC Universe’s versions of “Death”. Kirby took inspiration from his own earlier creation, Marvel’s Silver Surfer to create the Black Racer. Instead of a surf board, the Racer is on skis. On this cover art, we see a large image of the Racer coming right at the reader–it’s pure Kirby magic showing that even toward the end of his legendary career, the King was still at the top of his field.

Watchmen by writer Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons is widely considered to be the best superhero comic book series ever created and originals from the series are among the most desirable artwork of the era. Offered here is a memorable scene from #7 of the 12-part 1986 series. We see Nite Owl and Silk Spectre taking Nite Owl’s Owlship, which he calls “Archie” (short for Archimedes), out for its first ride in almost a decade since the Keene Act had outlawed superhero activity. It is a significant moment in the series and a memorable scene.

The beloved Darwyn Cooke, who redesigned Catwoman for the 21st century, created this illustration of his popular subject in ink and tonal marker on board. It really captures the joy that Cooke was able to build into his work on Batman’s greatest femme fatale.

A beautiful over-sized silk screen features one of artist Moebius’ most famous subjects, Starwatcher. The image area of this “Starwatcher II” serigraph measures an impressive 19″ x 26.5″ on 22″ x 30″ paper — this image is huge! It was issued by the French art publisher Aedena circa 1985 in a limited edition of 300 signed and numbered by the artist. Moebius described this serigraph as “truly a magical drawing”…
