I sold off my collection of about 10,000 comics a few years ago because I did not want to move with them. I switched fully to Comixology about 8 years ago and have not regretted the move in the least. I started buying original comic artwork about 15 years ago and still dable in that. Here are a few good pieces for you to enjoy:

Civil War page by Steve McNiven
Kraven and Punisher by Mike Zeck
Silver Surfer 34 (Return of Thanos) by Ron Lim
Thanos Commission by Frank Cho
Thanos by Jim Starlin

Quoted from Impzilla:

Wow, how did you sell such a large collection?

Had a dealer buy them by the box. There is very little money in bulk buys. I kept some of the key issues but let everything else go. Unless comics are graded, there is very little value in things now and even then it is suspect. The whole comic market is fairly soft and nowhere where it use to be.

Quoted from Stones:

Very cool pics! Love the Thanos artwork....

Thanks! I was buying Thanos artwork before he became a thing. At that time, most of the pieces were snatched up by a whale that was a dot com millionaire. He bought all of the pages to X-Men 1, had more McFarland Spider-man covers than you can count, and had all 6 covers to the Infinity Gauntlet. I did get this bad ass page from Phillip Tan from under his nose. He reached out a few times but I would never let it go. The Cho page and the Silver Surfer page are far more desirable and expensive, but this is my favorite piece. Got it framed with an awesome colored print that was signed by Stan Lee.

Last 2 for you tonight. Here are two pieces by James O'Barr of the Crow fame. The Crow piece is fantastic, but the other is called "The Night Watchmen of Lost Souls." The back of it has an awesome inscription of what went into the piece. Really cool piece.
