Comic Books & Comic Art: Superman: Sotheby's Auction Catalogue, June 18, 1994

Jerry Weist first began collecting comic books and science fiction in 1958 when he picked up the second issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland at his father's grocery store. He produced his own Monster fanzines in the early 1960s - went to his first World Science Fiction Convention in Cleveland in 1966 - and later edited and published the groundbreaking comic book EC Fanzine SQUA TRONT! SQUA TRONT lead to his meeting Harvey Kurtzman, Bill Gaines, Frank Frazetta, Al Williamson, Al Feldstein, and a host of other New York artists and editors. He moved to NYC in 1972 and established himself as an artist on the lower east side, eventually having one-man shows at galleries in SOHO - and then moved to Boston where he started THE MILLION YEAR PICNIC - on of the first comic book specialty stories in the US. Shortly thereafter THE SCIENCE FANTASY BOOK STORE was also opened in Harvard Square in Cambridge, and Mr. Weist with his partner Barbara Boatner also published THE R. CRUMB PRICE GUIDE, and THE UNDERGROUND PRICE GUIDE under the banner of Boatner/Norton Press. After spending ten years in retail the author moved to New York and convinced Sotheby's in 1991 to mount the first major Comic Book and Comic Art auction - this sale was a success selling over one million dollars of rare comics and comic art in one afternoon - and the rest is history. Now after ten Sotheby's Comic art auctions (including two successful science fiction auctions, and the very successful MAD ABOUT MAD auction) that have totaled over $14 million in sales the author is updating his popular Price Guide for Comic Art with a 2nd Edition.
