JL Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Picked up the original pen/pencil and ink artwork to the cover of Atari Force 15. Been working on the deal for a few months now but it was sure worth it. Thought I'd post for all to see. I have a lead on the #13 cover, maybe one day as well?

ATARIPITBULL Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 That is great. The last time I saw Atari Force art work like that on ebay, each picture went for over $100.00, if there for real? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 That is great. The last time I saw Atari Force art work like that on ebay, each picture went for over $100.00, if there for real? I've been a collector of Origiinal Comic Art for many years now, so it's easy for me to tell the difference between a real and a fake. Generally forgery's are reserved for items in the thousands of dollar range such as late 70's x-men art and the like. The previous owner of the Atari Force 15 cover did not want to sell it and it took me a year to put the right kind of deal together with him getting the advantage. But I now have a rather cool avatar (only this man's opinion) for my posts The best thing about original art is that every piece is one of a kind so I guess that even makes a 10 rarity cart look "mass-produced".

CPUWIZ Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Very nice, I love items like this. Although it has little to do with Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 When I read comics, I always wanted to buy original comic art work. The only thing I ever got around to buying was some pages from the Marvel New Universe series DP7, directly from the artist. I was one of the very few people that liked the New Universe. This has little to do with Atari, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 Very nice, I love items like this. Although it has little to do with Atari. My first thought was that it had to do a lot with Atari because the book started out as a series of giveaways inside 2600 games. However, in retrospect it has much less to do with Atari than I originally thought as it more of an item in the periphery like says a tee-shirt. Thoughts?

ATARIPITBULL Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Atari Force has everything to do with Atari!!! like you said, it was made for some of Atari's boxed games as give aways and it tell's you that Atari thought they were going to be a major force in the future to come, but Atari did die!! besides having all the Atari force comic books, I also got a hold of a full size comic books store poster with all the characters on it.

JL Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 Great poster. I seem to remember it from back in the day. Was it one of the comic shop giveaways or was it a "for sale" poster.? JL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
