In addition to the Jazzy Johnny Romita and Valiant Val Mayerik<\/a> originals I picked up in 1974 that I’m currently in the middle of auctioning off to fund next year’s trip to the Melbourne Worldcon<\/a>, I put four other items on the block today. <\/p>\n

Check them out below!<\/p>\n

First is the signed and numbered Abyss promotional portfolio<\/a> with artwork by Berni Wrightson, Jeffrey Jones, Bruce Jones, and Mike Kaluta. Those are the Kaluta and Wrightson plates below. I picked up this rare set at a Phil Seuling July 4th con sometime in the early ’70s.<\/p>\n

\"AbyssPortfolio\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up is a 1955 Harold Teen<\/i> daily comic strip<\/a>. Harold Teen<\/i> was a popular strip that ran from 1919 through 1959.<\/p>\n

\"HaroldTeen\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then come two prints colored and signed by Jim Steranko, one of the Black Hood, the Shield, and Steel Sterling drawn by Irv Novick<\/a>, and the other of the Red Bee drawn by Lou Fine<\/a>.<\/p>\n
