Oooh, that's nice! I'd like to get one of those.
Chillingly good stuff besides Mignola, Slint, M, Knut and really big chunks of tinfoil?Been called a 'good egg'. Been told to rock, been told to steady myself. Been told to (please) be goin' places.
Half sunk in the mud, with one eye showing / a cracked smile and hair still growing /
your hands miles apart, as if they'd never met / you were the happiest I'd seen you yet. ~ (full) lyrics to 'Exhume' by Bedhead.
The first print ANUNG UN RAMA was done under license as a limited run litho (the colors were changed for its reprint in the Art of Hellboy book). Unfortunately for Studio Ink, the product did not sell well at all, and they were left with a lot of unsold overstock that they blew out on eBay around 2003 (maybe 2004), and these prints wound up selling for about $20 on average (some went a bit higher, others went surprisingly for far less).
The second print, done by Dynamic Forces (in 1997), had a run of 500. I bought one in May of this year for $31 on eBay.
As for the last two, what I believe you have are 2 pages that were removed from the Art of Hellboy book. A seller on eBay took the book apart and had Mignola sign a bunch of the pages, and then sold them. If these indeed are what I'm thinking about, I'd say they really aren't worth much dollar-wise. They are lovely images and so have a lot of artistic value, but were reprinted via book form, and Mignola is great about signing stuff so just his signature doesn't add value (yet - one day maybe he'll be like Picasso that way). I don't have my AoH book handy to compare, but I'll check when I get home.
The one on the left is page 20 (cut to eliminate text on the bottom), and the one on the right is page 167 (cut to eliminate a brown lefthand border).
Hey gang - There have been some AWESOME updates on this thread! I just moved, and was able to unbox some of the stuff that has been in storage for a while.

Here is another garage kit that I picked up and painted a few months back. It's called "Alter Ego" and based on a convention sketch by Skottie Young...
