You helped send Irene and me to the Melbourne Worldcon this year by buying some of my artwork last<\/i> year. Maybe you were the one who bought my Bob Stanley oil painting<\/a>, or the Johnny Romita comic-book cover<\/a>, or maybe even those signed prints by Berni Wrightson, Jeffrey Jones, Bruce Jones, and Mike Kaluta<\/a>. If so, thanks!<\/p>\n

But this year, we have a new destination in mind—Machu Picchu!—and therefore some new … well, old … well, let’s just call it additional<\/i> artwork to sell. This time around these six pieces are from Irene’s collection, and they’ll be on sale from Nov. 7 through Nov. 14 through Heritage Auction Galleries. <\/p>\n

First up, a cute page by Dick Dillin and Sid Greene from Justice League of America<\/i> #61 (1968). It may only be 2\/3 of a page due to a house ad, but it manages to pack a lot into a small space—Hawkman, the Atom, Green Arrow, and Superman. (And the Penguin, too!) Bidding will begin here<\/a> Sunday.<\/p>\n

\"JLA61\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up, a dramatic Bruno Premiani page from The Doom Patrol<\/i> #119 (1968). Bid here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"DoomPatrol119\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like the Flash? Then you’ll love this Ross Andru and Mike Esposito page from The Flash<\/i> #179 (1968). Check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Flash179\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s Dick Dillin and Charles Cuidera art from Blackhawk<\/i> #240 (1968). It’s another 2\/3 of a page piece due to advertising, but you want to bid on it<\/a> anyway, don’t you?<\/p>\n

\"Blackhawk240\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then there’s the Elongated Man, who’s always fun. Check out this Mike Sekowsky and Sid Greene art from Detective Comics<\/i> #374 (1968). Here the link<\/a> if you want to bid.<\/p>\n

\"Detective374\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, something a little different—a Joe Giella Batman<\/i> Sunday comic strip, dated December 18, 1966, and starring Poison Ivy. Here’s the link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

Bidding starts Sunday, and you know what you have to do. After all, you want to hear how bad my altitude sickness gets in Machu Picchu, don’t you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
