So is Doctor Strange Into Shamballa: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/doctor-strange-into-shamballa-marvel-graphic/tivyo
Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back (autographed) Random House 1980 --likely not listed as they don't usually list autographed stuff unless it's like a numbered edition hardcover. Need more info tho.
Heavy Metal Metal Mammoth 1994. Can't find it either, not listed under the Specials tab for 1977 Heavy Metal where I thought it would be. Need more publishing info and pic. Find a pic thru google images and just post the URL to it.
Robotech Art 1 Donning 1986-- what is this? Donning is not listed under Publishers here. Is this an ART book about Robotech vs a comic or graphic novel? If so, it won't be here.

you're welcome. as Laroo42 pointed out, the publishing info inside the books will give you more info. On the Dark Knight trade paperbacks, it will say what printing it is, although sometimes if it's a first print it won't say that, but later will printings will say second, third, etc.. Just match up the cover image on the list on that link I gave you (although they don't have all the covers), and the cover price and year etc, and that will tell you what edition it is. Doesn't make much difference in price though.
Same with the Heavy Metal, look inside to see what issue number it is if not on the cover. Metal Mammoth is the publisher's name from 1992-on, so Mammoth may not be part of the mag's title. I tried a couple google searches and only get mentions of Metal Mammoth being the publisher, not a specific issue of "Heavy Metal Mammoth", so you'll need an issue number to look it up under Heavy Metal.
The Robotech book "Provides plot summaries for more than eighty episodes of a Japanese animated science fiction series and shares drawings and profiles of the main characters". It's just a guide book, so likely not going to be listed here, and probably is only worth cover price or less. Assuming this is it?: http://robotech.wikia.com/wiki/Robotech_Art_1
Good luck on the collection, you have lots to learn and deal with.

I think you have that backwards. The newsstand edition with the barcode is the one with the 'handwritten' price box, not the Direct. Either way it probably should be noted on CPG. pics of both: https://www.comics.org/issue/1031295/cover/4/ |

I would like help identifying original comic art:
collectibleshop

not my area of expertise here, but I tried many google searches and came up mostly empty for more art examples. Your post has the most actually, couldn't find any others other than 'that' auction site that has 1 piece signed by Sol Fielding (for $200), but in cursive, and no middle name, but the telltale circles over the i's, space between the top of the F and lower part, and elongated tail on the G make it appear to be the same Fielding as yours. Couldn't find any of the Rusty comic strip on google text or image searches that he supposedly did for an LA newspaper, which I find strange. Tried searches with just Fielding and other terms too, no luck. And by the way, these are not comic BOOK art pieces, they're comic strip or cartoon art, published in newspapers and mags. Not that helps in searches apparently. Found several comic strip info/archive sites and they had no Fielding either.
So looked for family members that may be able help you, and his granddaughter may be able to help some. She's on twitter and facebook, and writes a blog and has a few entries about her Grandpa Sol. So if you haven't already found this info, you might be able to contact her thru:
https://www.facebook.com/RealAliciaMayer/
https://twitter.com/RealAliciaMayer
https://hollywoodessays.com/tag/sol-baer-fielding/
She might know of another relative who's more familiar with the art part of his life, assuming it's the same Fielding. Good luck!

this would be the place to report it. it appears CPG has the same cover posted for both the 1952 series #54 and the 1958 series #54, so the second listing for the 1958 #54 is wrong and should be this cover with Casper and a Santa moon(?): https://www.comics.org/issue/202212/cover/4/

also searching on 'that' auction site, using search terms as so: (homage,swipe) Action 1
possibly someone has a list from Overstreet guide too, since they denote many AC1 cover swipes, but I didn't find any on a search.
that oughta get you started.
also, I'd think you'd get more response on the General board, don't you? while AC1 swipes are technically back issues, this seems to be more of an info request topic best suited to General, which probably gets more eyeballs..

Collectibleshop, A Google search always seems like the right answer but I want to start a conversation not work alone on a computer. (Can you tell that I like to talk?) Since Overstreet has never been online that would take freaking forever. Do they still publish that? The Pinterest board has some weird ones that I've never heard of. Thanks for all the suggestions.
was just trying to speed things up for you. and yes, of course they still make overstreet (I know, you're probably kidding). my thought on that was that MAYBE someone had already gone thru it and made a cover swipe list somewhere on the net, but I didn't find anything quickly that came up with 'overstreet list of...' in the search terms, so maybe there isn't one. wasn't suggesting you go thru it page by page and do it. They put it out in a downloadable version, but I don't know how searchable that is.
good thing I noted the Pinterest board too, as those may not get listed on here by others either. you're welcome, have fun.

it's under the X-Men 1991-2001, 2004-2008 series, then click the TRADE PAPERBACK button, it's #4. It took the database longer to load than it did for me to find it.
as for the King Kong Story 1976 (more info woulda helped), is it this the one, at mycomicshop? :https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=21998377 . if so, why should it be in the CPG guide if it's "Articles on the King Kong movies from the thirties to the seventies." Not a comic or comic book TPB.
CPG doesn't list The Star Wars "Official Souvenir Magazine" because it's also not a comic, it's a magazine covering the movie. Google will turn up places selling them to get an idea of price, if that's what you're looking for.
that's all I can tell ya.
