I dont really see much Walking Dead OA for sale, atleast not pages with zombies and such. So does this mean that collectors are hoarding waiting for the right time to sell ? The pages that are for sale are asking for big money so do you think the pages will hold the value or sink like a stone once the show runs its course?

The art was popular for about 8 years before the show ever existed. The value of the art isn't as tied to the show as you may think.

There is usually a few auctions on ebay and splashpageart.com has a ton. I don't think there is hoarding. There would be too much to hoard! Splash page does charge a pretty good premium for zombie pages though even though.

The art isn't that expensive compared to some others. It is all a matter of perspective.

So true. The comic is still >>> than the show and will be around long after the show is over (even if runs for 10 seasons). Kirkman loves the book and will stay on it - it's a wonderful playground.

I would love to own a page by tony moore. I'm not an adlard fan and don't want to spend 11x17 money to get an 8x10 page.

The art pages from WD are all only 8x10? Interesting...

Adlard switched to 8 x 14 pages in the late 30s or early 40s. I can't remember he exact issue right now. The image area is much smaller that before.

I think he switched in issue 36. Not sure though.

Image area on a 11x17 board is 8.75 x 13.5

Image area on a 8x14 board is 6.625x10.25

118.125 square inches vs 67.90

I think you had done that calculation before. lol

Yes I did that somewhere. My memory would not let me recall it though.

Just over 1/2 the size they used to be.
