Full Original Art for Alan Moore & Kevin Nowlan Jack B Quick Auction

Jack B Quick was a character created by Alan Moore and Kevin Nowlan for the Tomorrow Stories ABC anthology series published by DC Comics/Wildstorm in the late nineties. The character was a child genus living in small-town USA (literally) with his various inventions and challenges to conventional physics, causing all manner of frustration for his parents and townsfolk.

And right now, Heritage Auctions has the original art for the entire first Jack B Quick story, eight pages worth, up and it's only at $2,200 right now which is an insanely low price for eight pages of original comic book artwork from a) a Kevin Nowlan short story b) an Alan Moore short story c) the original first appearance of the character and d) a story that won the Eisner Award for Best Artist in 2000. $260 a page is very, very low… and it has four days to go. I wonder how high it will climb – especially after I've given it a little attention. Here's how Heritage Auctions lists the set on their website – and it ends on July 10th.

Here is the official listing for the auction which ends on July 10th:

Kevin Nowlan Tomorrow Stories #1 Complete 8-Page Story Jack B. Quick First Appearance Original Art (DC/America's Best Comics, 1999). Jack B Quick makes his debut in the story "Smalltown Stardom". The pint-sized genius (the brainchild of Alan Moore and Kevin Nowlan) was a regular feature in this anthology of weird heroes. This story starts with an upset cow and quickly turns into a runaway solar system! In 2000, Kevin Nowlan won the Eisner Award for "Best Artist" for this very story, and he and Alan Moore (along with the rest of the book's creative team) won the 2000 Eisner Award for "Best Anthology". The pages were created ink over graphite on DC Bristol board with an image area of 9" x 14". Page 2 has a very light spot stain on the bottom margin. In Excellent condition.
