Dog Boy Original Art Auction
Dog Boy is the seminal alternative comics series that I published in the 1980s. I produced seven issues under my own Cat-Head Comics imprint before going on to produce another ten issues with Fantagraphics. The entire run of Dog Boy is being serialized at CO2.
These are free-wheeling, high octane graphic narratives. I was in my mid 20s, ecstatic to be slinging ink and publishing in the nascent alternative comics market. I produced lush comics pages, with vigorous blue pencil layouts & finished in a classic brush and ink style, improvising as I worked.
I’m proud to announce that I’m making 12 pages of original Dog Boy art available to collectors. All pages are from Dog Boy #7 from 1987. These 11″ x 17″ works are being put on auction for the first time on Ebay. I’m placing one page per week up per auction at a starting bid of $250. The first page is reproduced here. I’ll post a link to each auction at this site on a weekly basis.
Here is a link to the first auction.
I’ve produced a video “Dogumentary” covering the history of Dog Boy and the art auction here.
