Like comic books, original comic art is sought out by collectors who have been collecting the pages since the 1960s. Every page within a comic book starts out as an original hand drawn page of artwork which is provided to printers who then used that artwork to mass produce the comic. Collecting original comic art gives collectors the unique opportunity to own a one of a kind item that thousands or millions of people have seen. Collectors can browse the thousands of original comic art, color guides and sketches, made available for sale by artists and collectors on Sketch Maven.
