How did you get a commission from a name many artists use as a pseudonym?

Exactly. . . . . I got it second hand from a guy that never met the artist. Just a correspondence through a generic email. Would have never thought to get this commission done until I came across it and had to nab it.

I have not been posting in this thread for some time.
Not new, but being able to acquire these 3 sequential
pages made me a bit giddy. The kid in me is very much
alive, when looking at them.

Andrew, I need all the nickels I can get.
Those characters are the Blue Blade, the Witness, Mister E, the Laughing Mask, and the Phantom Reporter, golden age heroes revived by J. Michael Straczynski and Chris Weston for their Marvel series The Twelve.
Fred, I can see why you'd be so happy. I'd be over the moon.

That is some top drawer Hulk. Fred has one hell of an art collection.

Amazing pieces, Fred. Congratulations! Did you buy them all from the
same person?

 Was lucky enough to have won this on Comiclink last week. 11x17 Full body Punisher illustration by John Romita, which was drawn for his Grandson many years ago. With the help of others, I was able to confirm the authenticity of this piece, and the story behind it.

Wilson, the same owner, who acquired them individually over the past
decade. I’ve bought them from him, over the past 7 years, as he’s had
opportunities to pick up other sought after pieces and decided it helpful
to finance them, by selling each of these.

Dan Hubbarde, that's a very nice piece from Romita. It's kind of sad, though, that a personalized drawing to his grandchild was not kept in the family.

Thanks Matt, and yes it was too bad that he sold his collection of art from both the Romitas. There is a long story behind it but to sum things up, Matt hasn’t spoken to them in many years.
