I am now the proud owner of one ORIGINAL page from the Raiders of the Lost Ark comic book featuring art from John Bucema.
I've been a comic fan all my life and this issue was very special to me in particular. I recall going away to camp as a kid in the summer of 1981 and before my Dad left after dropping me off he gave me a copy of the Raiders graphic novel. I had felt like I was going to be alone that week until he gave me that comic. It meant alot to me then and that memory means alot to me today.
I can also remember the day my Grandfather (r.i.p.) took me to the 7-11 to get a copy of the first edition of the comic. Sitting there as a kid, recreating the film in my mind while reading the comic over and over again. At that time, that was all I had next to the records. There was no vhs or dvd so as a kid back then, it was the world.
Now, I own an original piece of that and it suits me as an artist and as someone who loves this film. I'm also glad to own an original piece of Bucema art since he is such an iconic and well loved artist. Worth every ( alot of them) penny spent!

I can imagine that will take a special place among your outstanding collection.
