The ComicLink Featured Auction, which contains over 2,700 lots of Vintage Comic Books and Original Comic Art, starts ending today! Sorry to shout so rudely with all caps, but we really do not want you to miss opportunities to bid on anything of interest - everything in this ComicLink auction is good (to great) and there is something for everybody. Since there are many lots in this auction, it would be wise (and less stressful) to review and bid on them ASAP. All starting bids are just $1, and many lots are completely free of any seller reserve (indicated by the "no reserve" text beneath the lots), to ensure their sales to the high bidders.  Though some highlights are profiled below, there are far too many impressive lots within this auction to list them all here. The vintage comic book segment of the auction ends today (Tuesday) thru Thursday and the Original Art segment ends next Friday.

Here is just a small sample of the highlights that are featured in this auction:

Amazing Fantasy #15 CGC 8.5 - Introducing Spider-Man to the baby boomer generation, this is the "Holy Grail" of Silver Age comic books. In the offered condition it is scarce -- it is 1 of only 7 examples in the world at this 8.5 tier. This is, bar none, the most heavily demanded vintage comic book in the world, and this is a chance for the serious collector-investor to procure one of the finest known examples. This is up for grabs with completely no reserve.

Over 700 items from Pedigrees or Special Collections, and over 1,000 high-grade vintage comics graded CGC 9.2 or better. Hundreds of major and minor key issues and high-grade issues (in a range of conditions) from the Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze Age -- there is something for everyone in this auction. 

Impressive Original Comic Art, including: 2 Carl Barks Uncle Scrooge Oil Paintings, 3 John Romita Spider-Man covers, 19 Jack Kirby pages, 11 Steve Ditko pages, 2 Alex Ross cover paintings, 2 published Green Lantern All-American Comics pages from 1942, including the Published Page 1 Splash to All-American Comics #39, and the complete Batman #166 story from 1964 by Sheldon Moldoff.

Other exciting artwork by likes of
Neal Adams (impressive Witching Hour cover), Dave Cockrum (great Wolvie page), Gene Colan (Daredevil 63 full book), Enric (4 impressive oils), Bob Kane (Golden Age Batman art), Joe Kubert (Golden Age Hawkman action), Jim Lee (1st X-men work/double page spread), , Bob Montana (Archie, what else?), Carlos Pacheco (Judgement Day Tryptich pin-up), Mike Ploog (awesome WWBN page), John Romita Jr. (nice Spidey Splash), Bill Sienkiewicz (an Elektra Assassin cover),  Tim Sale (impressive Spidey cover), Jim Starlin (Cap Marvel vs. Hulk & Sub-Mariner), and many others.
