A part of me really wants to bid on this even though I don't really want an x-men porn pinup. (nws, obviously)

This is kind of a long shot but does anyone know where I might be able to buy Empowered pages? I found where someone was selling some Titans: Scissor Paper Stone pages for pretty reasonable (125 bucks for a page I like! Wow!) but Empowered stuff seems to nooot really be for sale anywhere. Is he holding on to it?

Someone on Comic Art Fans claims that Mighty Nib Original Comic Art is his dealer, so you could try contacting them to find out if pages are for sale. Alternatively, he seems to have a deviant art site, and twitter, so you could just ask him directly if anything is available, or how to get some. It's possible he just sells at conventions or something.
Yeah that's where I found the Titans pages. I sent him a note on twitter so I guess we'll see if he responds.

Oh man there's a Ross Campbell Glory page I want that's 250 dollars :goleft:

It's the page from #30 where Glory and her sister punch each other so hard their arms explode. Sadly it doesn't look like he has the previous page so I can't get the set but man I want that page so I can frame it and put it on my wall and try to explain it to someone at some point.

"No, it's not Wonder Woman. It's a character a bad artist made in the 90s that got a new book in the 2010s. That's her sister and they're fighting and look just never mind."

Hooray I got something in the mail today!



It's kind of a weird size so I'll probably have to get is custom framed :goleft: but it's super nice and if a 250 dollar piece of art isn't worth getting custom framed I'm not sure what would be.

The idea of owning a paul pope or frank quietly piece of original art, like just an interior page not even a cover, kind of feels like going to an art museum and asking how much something off the wall costs. And even if I did manage to get ahold of one I wouldn't even know what to do with it. I'd want to lock it in a vault.

Fortunately it seems like most of the artists I like are firmly in the 100-200 dollar range. I've got my eye on an Adam Warren page and another from King City.

I got my Ross Campbell Glory page from http://www.nsnart.com/ and it was sooooo smooth. He didn't even have it listed or scanned but he was the only dealer I saw so I sent him an email and he dug it up for me almost immediately. Sent him a paypal and got my art in just a few days. Could not have gone better.

I just took mine to hobby lobby and had them do it. It was kind of expensive, but it looks nice and I didn't have to worry about it too much.

Probably not something you would want to do with a really expensive page, though. If you've paid more than about 300 dollars for something you'd definitely want to pay more for a fancier shop.

Has anyone ever bought an original manga page? Is that something that you can even...do?
