Batman sketches drawn by Chris Samnee<\/strong> for \u201cBatober<\/em>\u201c, are now a tradition of pre-Christmas time, both for art lovers and Original Comic Art collectors. (Well, I know Original Art collectors are art lovers too\u2026) What does Batober<\/em> mean? one Batman illustration drawn every October day starting from a one word prompt.<\/p>\n The tradition is followed<\/span> also on the Original Comic Art Tips<\/strong> weekly newsletter. If you\u2019re not subscribed (and you like\/collect original art) you should. This blog is very rarely updated, but the newsletter comes every week in you inbox. You can subscribe by going to the home page<\/span>,<\/a> or you can read the latest issue by going to the archive page<\/span><\/a> in the upper menu.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Batober 2022 is no different than Batober 2021: 30+ great Batman illustrations, drawn by Chris Samnee and published every day on social pages, followed by sales of the original art in the first two weeks of November.<\/p>\n My favorite of all the 34 pieces is #18<\/span><\/a>, I prefer illustrations with big backgrounds. Judging from the eBay end prices for the original art, global favorites were <\/span>#16<\/span><\/a>, sold for $2,506.00, and <\/span>#3<\/span><\/a>, sold for $2,000. (click links to see the auction page).<\/span><\/p>\n Then 17 originals were sold for prices between $1,000 to $2,000 (highest is #24<\/a>, sold for $1.926,01), the other 15 for less than $1,000.<\/p>\n Total price paid, for the 34 original Batman illustrations, is $38.669,89<\/strong>. I haven\u2019t kept a record of 2021 prices, but for what I can guess they went for $30k to $35k.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a decreasing price list, followed by images of all the sketches.
